This week my Word of the Week is:
I always think I like to be busy but when I have a busy week I want a quiet life again. lol This past week has been a busy one. Last Saturday seems such a long time ago and it feels like we have been non-stop with life things, trips out and all the normal stuff! I can't complain though, because everything has gone really well, which is why I chose Well as my Word of the Week.
The week started with Ellie filling in a load of forms. It turns out that leaving college and being a fully-fledged adult means there is admin to do and she wasn't impressed. Thankfully, all the forms were all online, which made things easier but some were not easy to fill in. I helped her out a little. We would have been lost without Google explaining some of the questions to us. That's all done and it's another thing ticked off her to-do list. She had an appointment yesterday for the forms and it went well too.
My garden is doing really well considering last week was so hot. I kept on top of the watering and everything has survived. Phew! There were a couple of evenings where I was out there watering everything thinking I couldn't really be bothered but I'm glad I made the effort because it has paid off. My sweetcorn is doing especially well. I've tried growing it for the past few years and this is the best it has ever done. It's taller than it's ever been and looks so healthy. Every year something has gone wrong. Either the bugs have got to it, the weather hasn't been just right for it or I haven't watered it enough. Fingers crossed this is finally the year that I get to enjoy some homegrown corn on the cob!
On Wednesday evening we had a fun time. We went to a pub to watch the England match, which was rather stressful but we got the win and then went to the bike night. It is a big meeting where people turn up on their motorbikes, show them off, there are displays, food stalls and lots of fun things going on. I was so happy smelling all the petrol, it's one of my favourite smells.
This week has felt strange. Ellie is home more now that she has finished college. Becky took a couple of days off work at the start of the week, meaning she has been off work the whole week and Stu had yesterday and today off work. I feel all out of sorts with them home. I'm not used to it but I am not complaining. I have enjoyed all the family time we have had. We're all together over the weekend too and have some fun things planned which I will write about at a later date.
How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay to join in with her Word of the Week linky!
