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!

I'm glad your week has gone well. No adulting is always fun at all- those pesky "things" that one must do put a damper on the good times. But being an adult isn't all bad- we get to garden and dream of sweet corn doing well in the garden (which is one of my gardening dreams this year as well!!). How wonderful to have lots of family time together this week and into the weekend. I hope your plans all go, well, WELL!
ReplyDeleteI think sweet corn loves the heat. My husband was just commenting at dinner last night how tall the sweet corn is for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great, full week! I'm glad England got the win. I woke up at 4am to watch the Socceroos this morning, but I couldn't handle the stress and went back to bed. When I woke up, I checked the score and found out we'd lost on penalties. I'm glad I didn't watch the end. I think I would have had a heart attack!
ReplyDeleteWell can be a very deep subject! LOL I enjoyed your post, Kim! Wishing you a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that everything is going well, I love that your sweetcorn is growing. I'm pretty sure that Ellie won't be stuck at home for long. I'm finding it weird that the Little Man is home, It won't be for long though, he'll be starting college in September.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear everything has gone well for you in the week. What next for everyone now? #wotw
ReplyDeleteGlad that Ellie has managed to get all the admin sorted. Form-filling is not much fun. Glad that your garden is doing well and you’ve been managing to keep it well watered. Fingers crossed that your sweetcorn continues to do well this year. I can imagine it must have felt strange with everyone home but nice to enjoy that family time together. #WotW
