Happy Sunday!! I hope you've all had a lovely week and are enjoying your weekend. I have had a great week with lots of time outside, which is always a good thing when the weather has been so nice, warm but not too hot! We've had another quiet weekend so far and I don't have much planned for today apart from watching TV, catching up on some blogging and eating lots of nice food.
Now for a photo every day!

I didn't want to like the half-time show during the World Cup, it seemed like such an American thing but I loved it! My favourite part was definitely The Muppets appearing. I was not expecting that at all and it made me laugh.

Mine and Ellie's little adventure on the sculpture trial started with brunch! We decided to have something to eat before heading off and it was a lovely way to start our day. The food was only OK though. The sausages were too undercooked for my liking and the bacon was overdone. We didn’t let that spoil our day and we definitely walked off all the calories afterwards.

I don’t think my cherry tomatoes are actually cherry tomatoes! They are carrying on growing and growing but they are not turning red yet. I keep checking them hoping to see them changing colour but not yet. I do love growing things, even when it doesn’t always go exactly to plan.

It seems like years since I have had a butterfly cake! Ellie brought me one in and it took me straight back to being a kid. They were always a Sunday afternoon tea treat and a favourite at parties. It was a lovely little surprise and definitely brightened up my day.

I love the sunflowers in my garden. I always thought sunflowers moved to face the sun but mine are doing their own thing and pointing in all different directions. I read that young sunflowers do follow the sun but once they mature they usually face east. There's a little fun fact for you.

The farmers around here have been really busy harvesting their crops over the past couple of weeks. We've heard them at all hours doing their thing. It always amazes me how quickly it all happens. They were busy on Thursday and I passed by the field while they were combining. I ended up getting a mouthful of dust from the machines but I still had to stop and take a photo because it is such a fun part of living in the countryside.

Stu is planning on decorating the bathroom when he has some time off work next month. He has some big plans and has been ordering stuff in preparation. Instead of painting around the shower, he's ordered some PVC shower wall panels, so it'll look a bit different when it's finished. It's his project, so I'm quite happy to let him get on with it. The last couple of times the bathroom has been decorated, I've been the one doing all the work, so I'm more than ready to let him get on with it. It might be one of the smallest rooms in the house but it always seems to take the most work!
I didn't watch the show, but I do love the Muppets!
ReplyDeleteYour tomato story made me laugh because I'm having the same thing. My cherry tomatoes are looking nearly as big as my other ones and are still not red.
The cake looks good and I love the sunflower.
How exciting to redo the bath!
I thought the half time show was cringe. just v odd and not football.
ReplyDeleteThe one time I grew tomatoes, ours didn't turn red til September, it was such a long wait. I'm with you, I'd want slightly more done sausage s too.
Fun pictures for us again this week, Kim!! I did not watch the half-time show, but I don't watch it for our Super Bowl, either. Too much hype. I would much rather see a marching band!! I look forward to seeing what your Stu ends up doing with the bathroom! Always exciting!! Have a happy week ahead! xo
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to redo the bathroom and not even get tired doing it! I can't wait to see the finished room. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the football final so didn't see the half-time show. Was it only 15 minutes or did they extend the break? You're good at remembering to take photos so I'm sure there will be a before an after of the bathroom when it's done.
ReplyDeleteYour sunflower is lovely! Our tomatoes are just tiny buds at this point but I'm having fun checking on them daily. Tonight we had roasted potatoes from the red potatoes Alec grew... his one clump made just enough for all 5 of us for dinner.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me, the half time show was absolute crap, summed up perfectly by Rooney. Tesco do a lovely gluten free butterfly cake that I treat myself to from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAw, I've never heard of or seen a butterfly cake, but that is so cute! I love that it gave you nostalgia from being a kid again, too!
