What I have loved this week! Week 16. #FridayFavourites

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. Ours has been a really good one. We have had lots of family time, had some loose ends were tied up which is a weight off my mind and Wrestlemania weekend is here, which I am very excited about. As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea to share the things that I have loved over the past week.

What I have loved this week

A catch-up with a friend!
One of my favourite moments this week was a proper catch up with a friend. It was her birthday so I sent her a little something for her garden. She has a beautiful garden and is always adding to it so I thought a rose bush would be perfect. She of course, rang me to say thank you. I thought it would be a quick call but somehow we ended up chatting for nearly an hour and a half, which somehow feels totally normal to us. We both totally lost track of time. We’re quite good at keeping in touch but every now and then we need a proper catch-up. We talked about everything: friends, family, random updates, bits of nonsense and it was nice.

At Home with the Furys!
I watched the second season of At Home with the Furys this week. The fly-on-the-wall documentary TV show about the boxer Tyson Fury and his family! I am not into boxing at all. I couldn’t tell you anything about it and I’ve never watched a full match in my life but this is about their family life and not boxing. Paris his wife absolutely steals the show. She is so funny without even trying to be. Very grounded and she seems to have the patience of a saint. The way she keeps everything running, manages the kids and deals with Tyson I don’t know how she does it. The kids are brilliant as well, so full of personality and always saying something unexpected.

Costa lunch!
Becky and I were at home on Tuesday and we started to talk about what to have for lunch and she mentioned ordering in and we went for something from Costa Coffee just because we wanted some nice drinks. I got a Chocolate Fudge Frappe and a Red Summer Berries cooler. Becky said one for fun and one for hydration. hehehe I got a smoked bacon bap and a lemon muffin to eat and they were so good. It was one of those simple meals that I could have eaten again straight after and I am still thinking about it now.

House Flipper!
A few weeks ago, there was a game on Steam that was being given away for free called House Flipper. It’s basically a simulation game where you take on renovation jobs. You start off doing the basic bits like cleaning, painting, fixing things and then, as you go along, you get to buy houses, do them up and sell them on. I have always loved decorating and rearranging. I used to spend hours on The Sims building houses and choosing furniture and this feels like a more grown-up version of that. I am obsessed. I keep thinking about just one more job, or I will just finish this room and before I know it another half hour has passed. Oops.

What have you loved over the past week?

  1. House Flipper sounds nice but also a bit addictive. I think I'll skip it and read a book : )

  4. I would like that House Flipper game too. Sounds like a good week! We're heading out today to try and pick some paint colors for a project being planned for our bedroom. Paint colors are hard - but should still be fun!

  10. That's the trouble with games - they eat up your time. Glad you had a nice lunch and a good catch up with your friend.
