Happy Sunday!! I hope you've all had a lovely week and are enjoying your weekend! I've had a bit of a meh week and have been feeling pretty grumpy! The weather wasn't great and my body was playing silly games which left me feeling run down. It's fine though, I have pulled myself out of my mood and I am feeling much better now.
Yesterday was all about me getting the house in order because I have been pretty lazy when it came to the housework over the last week and things had started piling up. It turns out there really wasn't that much to do once I got Ellie to collect all of her belongings from every room in the house. How one person can leave a trail of stuff everywhere! lol Today we're celebrating Father's Day a week early because Becky is working next weekend. We've got a couple of nice things planned for Stu and the girls are paying, which makes it even better from my point of view.
Now for a photo every day!

A single poppy appeared in my garden, in the flower bed where it's supposed to be. I love poppies. They look so delicate and almost paper like. They always remind me that some of the prettiest flowers don't last very long. This one definitely didn't. We had some heavy rain and by the next day it had gone. The petals were scattered all over the garden. Hmmf.

I have no idea what these are! I grew them from a seed and according to Google, "this leafy green is a Brassica vegetable, likely cabbage, broccoli, or brussels sprouts in their early growth stages." I didn't plant any of those things. Either I was sent the wrong seeds, somebody has been sneaking into my garden planting vegetables or Google is totally wrong. I'm going to leave them alone and see what happens.

It's Tuesday which means one thing Costa Coffee and my usual Chocolate Fudge Frappuccino. I know I should try something different every now and then but when it's a once a fortnight treat and I don't want to risk getting something that I don't like.

This was the start of watching at least one football match a day, with England's friendly against Costa Rica. I did think it was going to be rained off as the pitch was like a swimming pool as the coverage started.

Waffle fries for tea or pizza waffle fries as we call them. My family loves this meal. These were the waffles before they were topped with tomato puree, onions, mushrooms, salami, pepperoni and lots of cheese. There were no leftovers with this meal!

Woah, we're halfway there. Woah lemon on a pear! Just one of my funny t-shirts. People will usually glance at it, look away, then do a double take before reading it properly. Then comes the smile. I love little silly things like that.

You would think my eldest was about 6 years old with the things she buys. This turned up yesterday, a Squishy Dumpling! I saw it and turned into a concerned parent because I had actually read an article about them the other day. Some have apparently caused problems because they can burst and the contents can be harmful. I gave her a little warning speech, which she probably ignored after the first few words but I tried!
Ooh those loaded waffle fries sound amazing. My husband would never class that as a meal unfortunately, although N and I would love eating it. I've just plantscanned lots of my bushes and plants in the garden I bought last year. 2 have randomly got flowers on, so I wish I'd bought more than one of each as they didn't grow as much as I thought they did. I've got poppies too, but they never last which is such a shame.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures from your week! The poppy is properly pretty :). It will be interesting to see if the plants are volunteer plants or if you were sent the wrong seeds. So many World Cup games! Things are getting real here now that the US has played a game and won. Your waffle fry meal sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThat t-shirt is quite funny. Took me a minute, too!! Love it!! I enjoyed your photos and look forward to you figuring out what that plant is! Do please keep us posted!! xo
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of pizza waffle fries! YUM! We will definitely be giving these a try! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty poppy. Hopefully you will have more. The t-shirt is super funny!! Now I can't stop humming. As for the squishy dumpling, I am sorry to say, I would have purchased it too. I would just leave it in its box and smile.

Well that is just genius to top your waffles fries with pizza toppings!! I will have to try that some time with the kids. They would love that!
