Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. Mine has been a busy one with lots going on. I feel like I am definitely going to enjoy the weekend when I finally get some time to relax. I have plenty of little things which I have been loving and I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea to share.
Football!
Of course, it had to make my list again! We're into the knockout stages of the World Cup now and it has been good with lots of drama and tension! We went to the pub to watch the England match on Wednesday and it was stressful. They never go about it the easy way. They were losing for most of the match when DR Congo got a goal early on. It took them until the 76th minute to get a goal to equalise and then another 10 minutes later to win the match! We’re through to the next round and we’ve got Mexico next, then if we get through that game, it's Brazil or Norway. Eek!
Cooler weather!
It has cooled down a lot here and I am so glad. After the heatwave last week I was so over being sweaty, not sleeping properly and feeling like we were living in an oven. This week the temperature has been around 22C (71F) which is much easier to deal with. Yesterday it was really windy but warm and sunny, I did think that it would be great to get washing dried outside but it was too windy!
An Irish Bar!
A new Irish-themed bar opened in town a few weeks ago and it’s in an old church building which already makes it feel quite different from anywhere else locally. We popped in last Friday for just a couple of drinks and ended up staying longer than we had planned. There was live music on, people dancing and a really lively feel to the place.
Bike Night!
In Barton, a town near us, there is a big motorcycle meet that takes place every year! As well as hundreds of motorbikes, there were street food stalls, live music, charity stands, the shops stayed open later than usual and it was so busy! The bikes were amazing! There was everything from vintage motorbikes to brand new sports bikes and some customised ones that looked like they belonged in a film. I should have taken more photos than I did but there were just too many people about!
Having my girls home!
This has probably been my favourite part of the week. Ellie has left college so she is home more and Becky took a couple of days off work, which meant she has the whole week off and it has been fantastic having both my girls home more than they usually are. We haven’t done anything big or exciting, it’s mostly been the small everyday stuff which has made it special. The chats we've had, laughing about random things and just being together.
A fly in my laptop!
Over the weekend there were lots of those tiny black flies, thunder bugs outside. I am guessing some came into the house and one ended up inside the screen of my laptop! It shouldn't be a favourite from my week but now I can laugh about it. I watched it crawling around all day Saturday, read that if I switched it off and put a torch at the bottom of the screen it would find its way out. It didn't. On Sunday, it was slap bang in the middle of the screen and I accepted that it was there to stay but by Monday morning it had moved to the top of the screen and is now hidden in the text on one of the bookmarks. It hasn't moved since! Phew! I am so glad it stopped somewhere out of the way.
What have you loved over the past week?
