Happy Sunday!! I hope you are all having a good weekend. I've had a good week and weekend so far! I went to my dad's on Friday and had a good catch up with him. I mentioned in my Word of the Week post yesterday that he said he had something nice for lunch and he didn't disappoint. Bacon, mushrooms and black pudding in a panini rolls. They were so good and I even got dessert too. Rhubarb and strawberry crumble. I told him he'd started something now. Two weeks on the trot I've had dessert. He said nope, nothing was getting started. Next week I can make do with a biscuit or two after my lunch. lol
Yesterday was all about catching up on some blogging and doing my usual Saturday jobs. Jobs like changing the beds, doing the washing and cleaning. I actually like doing the housework on a Saturday. I think it's because I know I can stay in my pjs, blast the music and not have to rush to do anything. Last night we of course watched the Eurovision Song Contest and today Stu and I have plans which I am looking forward to, I will write more about what we've been up to tomorrow.
Now for a photo every day!

If you haven't seen Remarkably Bright Creatures yet, watch it!!! It is such a lovely movie. I watched it on Sunday and laughed and cried my way through it. I wasn't really sure what to expect from it before watching but within minutes of watching I knew I was going to love it.

Just me! I was on my day out for a day of shopping with Stu. It was one of those days where I didn't know what to wear. One minute it was bright and sunny, the next it was looking like rain and chilly. I went with jeans, a tunic top, my boots and a light, waterproof jacket, knowing I would be in and out of shops so I didn't want anything too heavy and warm.

The One Pan Alpine-Style Sausage & Waxy Potato Hash meal from Gousto is one of our favourite meals. We've only had it a couple of times but there are so many flavours in it. The mustard dressing is so good and so simple to make: red wine vinegar, wholegrain mustard, a spoonful of sugar and a drizzle of olive oil! The potatoes are delicious with the roasted garlic paste in and I need to buy some so I can add it to potato which isn't part of a Gousto meal!

It was such a grey and gloomy day on Wednesday! I had to take a photo of the moody looking sky. I was expecting it to rain but when I was sitting in the living room, I started to hear tapping. I got up and it was hailstones battering the kitchen window! They lasted a good while and it seems like crazy weather for May! Where's the sunshine and warm weather!

Can you believe these flowers were a week old when I took this photo! I got them with the food shop the previous Thursday. Some people don't rate supermarket flowers but I seem to always get a good bunch!

My dad has done all the important stuff with his vintage truck, like getting the engine, brakes and gears going and now he's on to making it pretty, doing the painting. He is painting it black and white. It is already looking way better than it was and he is hoping to have it finished by the end of June as at the start of July he is hoping to take it to a vintage car show. I love how much he loves working on it, he gets so passionate and excited about showing me the progress that he's made each week.

A cup of coffee in one of my new mugs. I love to sit outside on a morning and have a few minutes to wake up and think about what I have planned for the day.
Your pictures from the week are good! Your lunch at your dad´s place sounds so good. His hobby sounds like a fun one- I hope he gets his truck done in time for the show. You guys had hail in May? That´s nuts? Our nice weather streak ended recently with rain though we needed it so it wasn´t too bad :). Your new mug is pretty and I hope your plans work out nicely today.
ReplyDeleteWe watched Remarkably Bright Creatures last weekend - so very good!
ReplyDeleteI love your flowers and that dark sky shot.
The hail was madness on Thursday. On and off all day, and ended up hanging around on my car windscreen for ages when I was parked up for the school bus stop pick up. Its been like april showers this week. Just a month late but at least it's a bit better for the fields/gardens. I might have to look up that film, it appeared on my Netflix but I've not really taken a look at what it's about yet.
ReplyDeleteA slow, quiet, contemplative beginning to the day is my style, too.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lovely week was had, and that photo of you is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love how your dad enjoys tinkering with his car and shares the progress with you. Good on him for keeping so active and busy with it all.
A cuppa outside is one of my favourite things. Hope next week is just as nice for you. xx
Your new glass cups are so pretty! Nice find!! Keep us posted on your dad's classic!! Fun! Your meals always look and sound yummy! Wishing you and yours a great week ahead!!
