This week has been a bit of a slow one but not in a bad way. I was hit with a cold. Ugh. I took things easy, didn’t push myself too much and somehow still managed to get a few jobs done around the house. I’m glad to say I’m just about over it now and so is the rest of the house. Phew! There’s nothing worse than illness doing the rounds but I suppose it's the time of the year for it.
Yesterday I pottered around the house, catching up on all the jobs I didn’t do during the week. Hoovering, laundry and a bit of cleaning. It was nothing exciting but I'm glad it was done. Today I don’t have much planned at all, which is exactly how I like my Sundays. Normally they might include a trip to our favourite pub for a Sunday carvery but that dream has ended! The pub closed on Friday as the owners have moved on to better things. It was nice while it lasted. Hmmf. I suppose I could start cooking a Sunday roast at home but I always feel far too lazy on a Sunday. I don’t want to be in the kitchen all day when it’s one of the only days we’re all home together.
Now for a photo every day!
11/365 - 11th January!
This was the definition of a lazy Sunday! I barely moved apart from toilet breaks and my family brought me food and drinks with me not feeling so great. I decided it was the perfect day for a Twilight movie marathon. The total running time is just over ten hours which sounds a lot but I started at half past nine in the morning and just stayed there. It filled the day nicely and took my mind off feeling rubbish. Oh and I was always team Jacob. hehehe

Jelly Tots! Yum, yum! These are in my opinion, the best fruity jelly sweets going! I was enjoying them when I happened to look at the packet and noticed that one serving was apparently 11 sweets! They are tiny and who is out there counting out eleven Jelly Tots and thinking that's enough! I realised this little fun fact when I was on what I think was my third serving. Oops.

I tidied and cleaned my dressing table. It was such a mess and I had make-up that was well past its best, so I had a good sort out too. Ellie claimed some bits that I didn't want and the rest was binned. I found a lipstick I remember buying when Ellie was a baby. She's 18 now. lol I don't think lipstick is supposed to last that long.

Ellie felt betrayed by her fashion choices. She said she felt amazing in her outfit when she left the house but reality hit when she had to go to the toilet. Her outfit included a skirt with attached shorts, tights, a black bodysuit top that was a nightmare to open and close, a corset and a belt. Every trip to the loo was a 15 minute event. She said never again would she wear such a complicated outfit!

It’s daffodil time! They’re not much to look at when they first arrive, all closed up and green but once they start opening they are such a cheerful flower! They always make it feel like spring isn’t that far away, even when it’s still cold and grey outside.

Homemade chips are the best! Proper fried ones! We don't have them often so they seem like such a treat.
17/365 - 17th January!
Sometimes I have to pop something in the tumble dryer to dry that doesn't go under the mix and dry setting I use for most things and I can never remember what all the settings are for so I take a photo pop it into Chat GPT and it tells me all the settings. Very clever! It was the wool setting I wanted and up until yesterday I didn't know that was the wool sign.
Oh goodness I could never wear Ellie's outfit - I'd not get on the loo in time lol. I must look out for some daffs. I love having them in the house.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame your favorite pub closed. That stinks :(. Yah, homemade is good but it's really nice to know that there's a good option out. Hopefully something new comes in its place. Oh the serving sizes on clearly SINGLE sizing candy packs! They crack me up when I look at them. Good thing you got a picture of Ellie in her outfit since she won't wear it again :). The fries and flowers look good! Enjoy your Sunday and hope you get lots of rest :).
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are always such a lovely sign that Spring will arrive! Ellie's outfit was cute but, goodness! I remember (vaguely since it was a long time ago) how difficult bodysuits were to get in and out of so I can't imagine Ellie's frustration with all she had to deal with! Thank goodness for youth!
ReplyDeleteHow clever (and smart!) of you to enlist the help of Chaptgpt to get the right setting for drying your garment! I am very impressed (and thanks for the tip!).
ReplyDeleteUgh, a bodysuit and the loo are tough enough, but Ellie added a few extra challenges! Team Jacob, all the way!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better now, matey. These colds are doing the rounds.
ReplyDeleteI did laugh at the Jelly Tots. There's no way I'd be counting them, haha. They wouldn't last long enough.
Shame about your local pub closing. Fingers crossed it's just as good if someone new takes over.
Love Ellie's outfit. Remember when we were like that lol, I'm all for the comforts now though, a pair of Converse or my biker boots with jeggings. I'm so rock and roll! x
Shame the pub closed. Ours round by us have pretty much all turned into posh Soho Farmhouse type pubs, so really expensive and lots of fancy dishes, we've not been to our 2 ones in years that we used to visit regularly.
ReplyDeleteThe chips look really good. I also bought daffodils this week and am waiting for them to open. N is pleased that all the ones we planted last year are growing well.
Hope your cold is gone by now. Twilight marathon sounds fun (I never watched any of the Twilight movies, maybe I should try the first one). Sorry to hear your favourite pub has closed, that's a shame. Homemade chips look good. Love the daffodils.
ReplyDeleteEllie's outfit looks spectacular, but oh dear, going to the loo sounds like too much work.
Sorry your local has closed. What a shame. Enjoy the daffodils. I planted bulbs from last year and they are coming along nicely. I am a long way off flowers though.
ReplyDeleteTeam Jacob too, but I prefer the books to the movies. Ellie looks amazing but what a faff to go to the look. I'd have to wear a pair of Tena knickers underneath. lol. I remember when I was young, bodysuits where popular but trying to get them poppers done up when you've had one too many... oh the things we do when young!
ReplyDeleteHi, oh my had to chuckle about the outfit. I have done that too, it takes me forever to go to the bathroom and come out. She does look outstanding. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Week!
I love daffodils and can't wait for them to open. Granddaughter gave us a bulb in a pot for christmas, so far it's jsut a long tall green shoot. Had to laugh at the Jelly Tot scenario, it's the same with those packs for sharing, pah! nope not happening.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are all on the mend now, colds this time of year feel extra miserable.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about wanting a roast on a sunday but not wanting to cook it. Hopefully you can find a new pub for a nice roast.
That's a good idea asking Chat GPT about settings, I don't know what half of the ones on ours do.
I hope you are feeling better now, these colds are such a pain. I love the outfit, but never imagined how complicated is to put on. Well done for cleaning up the makeup, it's something I usually postpone doing for some reason.
ReplyDeleteGlad you’re feeling better now. Nice to have a potter around and catch up on jobs. What a shame that the pub has closed. Ellie’s outfit looks lovely but I can imagine what a nightmare having such a complicated outfit was. I love being able to buy daffodils at this time of year too. #project365
