What I have loved this week! Week 3. #FridayFavourites

I hope you have all had a good week. I've been full of cold, not enough to send me to my bed but enough that I am annoyed with my snotty nose, my sleep has been disrupted and everything feels like hard work. I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share the things which I have loved from the past week, there's not many things but there's some.

What I have loved this week

This was one of the meals I ordered to come with our Gousto box and I thought it would be just average and I was so, so wrong! It was amazing! We are not usually fans of Marmite. The only time I eat it is when it comes in a Gousto recipe, but this time I think it really added something special and I think the fact that Stu was helping me cook really helped me enjoy the meal more, even the peas! hehehe I will eat them but I don't usually enjoy them but this time I added some mint sauce and they were so good! Stu was very kind to me and left the leftover portion for me to have for lunch the next day. I had half a tin of beans with it and it felt like such a treat to have instead of my usual soup or a sandwich.

The Twilight Saga!
I had planned to sleep until mid-morning on Sunday but my body had other ideas. I was sneezing and coughing, so thought I might as well get up so by half past nine I was deciding what to watch. I fancied something easy to watch that I had seen before so I went with Twilight and then carried on watching the rest of the movies in the series for the rest of the day. There were five of them so that kept me occupied and I did not feel any guilt about being lazy.

Warm weather!
Over the weekend it was about 2 degrees Celsius, which is about 35F. It was colder the week before but on Monday it got warm, well warm considering the time of year. It got up to 11°C, which is 51F. It was so strange to open the back door and not be hit by the cold air. We can't have it all though. It was warmer but it also rained a lot. Hmmf. Yesterday it actually felt warmer outside than it did inside, I would have been tempted to get out in the garden but it was raining again.

My dressing table!
It's usable again! Over the last couple of months, it turned into a right mess! Everything was everywhere and there was no organisation. It was on my list of things to sort out and declutter and I did just that during the week. Everything that I had not used in the last year went into a pile for Ellie to sort through. She claimed a few things and the rest went into the bin. I gave everything a good clean and put everything where it should be. Phew!

Finishing my first audiobook of the year!
I did it, I finally finished an audiobook. The last one I listened to took me about a year and it was about 10 hours long. The latest one I listened to took me 2 weeks and it was about the same length and I am feeling pretty proud of myself. I'm hooked now, I have a list of books that I want to listen to and I have already started my next one!

What have you loved over the last week?
