Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week. Mine has been a good one and I have been quite busy. I am here today sharing what I have loved this week and I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea to share.
My girls and appointments!
My girls have had a busy week. My eldest went to view another house with her partner. They liked this one a lot more than the previous one they viewed and didn't get. It ticks more boxes and isn't too expensive. Hopefully, this will be the one for them. My youngest has been here, there and everywhere. She has had a few appointments and managed to find her way to them with only a couple of phone calls to me asking for directions when she got lost. It was a new area to her and travelling there was way out of her comfort zone but she did it!
A bear hunt!
My youngest and I went on the We’re Going on a Bear Hunt sculpture trail in Scunthorpe, the town where we live. There are ten large bears hidden around the town as well as eight little bear cubs to find. We didn't quite manage to find all of them but we found more than half, so I'm calling that a success. We walked for miles, stopped off for lunch and even got a drink from Starbucks! It was a good day!
Elle!
When I heard there was going to be a series about Elle Woods before Legally Blonde, I was a little unsure but I loved the new series on Prime! It's all about Elle’s teenage years and shows us what she was like before Harvard. I watched it all in a couple of days and loved it! Nobody can replace Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods because she made the character iconic but Lexi Minetree does a fantastic job of making the role her own! One of my favourite things about the series was the 90s setting. The clothes and the music.
Cooler weather!
It's still warm here, warm enough to enjoy being outside but not as warm as it has been and I am loving it. It has been mostly 20C today, which is 68F and that is the perfect temperature for me. It is easier to sleep, housework doesn't feel as much of a chore and I have been able to get out into the garden. I've had a proper tidy up out there. The weeding has been done, well as much as I am willing to do. It's hard to tell what are weeds and what are flowers which haven't fully grown yet!
Sunflowers!
One of my favourite things about this time of year is watching the sunflowers bloom.
Little House on the Prairie!
Surely we have all heard of Little House on the Prairie? Netflix has a new version, telling the story of the Ingalls family as they leave their home and begin a new life on the American frontier. The scenery was stunning and the costumes too. I like the characters, especially the kids and I watched it all in a couple of days. I really enjoyed watching it. It’s one of those shows that doesn't need all the flashy drama. Sometimes the simplest stories can be the best ones.
Reading challenge!
At the start of the year, I set myself a challenge on Goodreads to listen to 35 audiobooks. I imagined I'd listen to a couple a month but I have just realised it's week 30 of the year and I have just started my 30th book which means I am averaging one a week! Go me! I never thought I would be someone to enjoy books but here we are.
What have you loved this week?
I'm enjoying the new Elle series too! I think she is perfectly cast :) Have a great weekend Kim!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week of good things! I'll be excited to hear more about your oldest daughter finding a house, too. I need to watch Elle!
ReplyDeleteThe bear hunt looks fun! I'm enjoying Little House too and am almost finished with it. I'll have to check out the Elle series.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the books. I've had a lull over the last month or so but I'm getting back on track. I hope your daughter and her partner can secure the house. Finding somewhere to live can be a nightmare in the rental market. (I'm assuming it's a rental) The Bear Hunt sounds fun- a nice day out now that it's not so hot. The sunflowers look great. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat bear hunt sounds so fun. I love when towns and cities do that. It's usually a great fundraiser too and gives local artists a chance to shine. That is great that you've managed to listen to a book a week!
ReplyDeleteI loved the new Little House and now can't wait for the next season. I watched them all in three days! Hope the newest house works out for your eldest and her partner! Keep us posted! The bears are great fun! Lakeland has swans all over town, and a few years after the swans, they did butterfllies. It's still fun when one pops up somewhere you haven't seen one before. I enjoyed your list! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHey! Look at you on the books!! Woohoo!! I just hit my 30th book on Goodreads today!!!!!! How cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI have read 32 but two of the books they do not have on goodreads (they are devotionals)
Sounds like a good week!!! Oh, to have 68 degree weather. Please send it my way!!! I am still in the high 90's to 100's.
