Happy Sunday!! I hope you've all had a lovely week and are enjoying your weekend. Ours has been really nice so far. We had a family night in front of the TV last night. It seems ages since we have done that. The Voice UK is back on TV, which is one of our favourite shows to watch together and it means that the new season of shows is starting. I know Big Brother is coming soon and Strictly Come Dancing won't be far behind that!
Today is going to be all about sport. It is the Dutch Grand Prix this afternoon and then Newcastle have their first match of the season against Liverpool and it's going to be an emotional one as it's the first one since Kevin Keegan has passed away. He was a big thing for both Newcastle and Liverpool fans.
Now for a photo every day!

This is the photo I didn't add last week because we were having a family day out. The first stop was lunch at the all-you-can-eat place. I do love how you can put whatever on your plate. I had plain noodles, fried mushrooms, Coca-Cola chicken, prawn toast, gammon and a couple of pieces of Doner kebab.

This was the only photo I took on Sunday. I used it in my Friday Favourite post but it will have to do for here too. Stu's birthday cards off the girls did make me laugh out loud.

Becky got Stu this T-shirt and it applies to both of the girls. lol The T-shirt sums up their relationship perfectly because they both have him wrapped around their little fingers. He can try to pretend otherwise but we all know the truth!

My cherry tomatoes are finally turning red and I have started picking a couple every day but these beasts are still growing. I hope they ripen soon.

See the water on the ground, it's rain! There were actual little puddles and it was wonderful to see. It has rained a little every day since Monday and we needed it. There's still a hosepipe ban and the grass in the garden still looks burned but my plants got a good soaking!

I couldn't wait any longer. It looked like my sweetcorn was ready and after checking it several times, I decided it was time to pick one. I gave it a wash and ate some and, thankfully, it tasted like sweetcorn! I am taking that as a win because I have finally succeeded in growing sweetcorn. I have tried before and not had any luck, so growing some that I could pick and eat made me feel like a proper gardener. I will leave the rest to grow some more.

My dad has a new vintage car in his garage and it's an old one. This was the tax disc from when it was last on the road, 1979!! That was the year I was born. Apparently it has been sitting in a garage, hidden away all this time.

I put the football on, Hull v Man United and I did not expect to see our local team Hull winning! They were only just promoted to the Premier League, so it was not expected. It is half-time now as I write this and they are now winning 2 - 0. I do hope they win!
That's so cool about Hull being up by two at the half. I hope they pulled out the victory! Congrats on the sweet corn! She's a thing of beauty!! The tomatoes will get there- they just like to take their sweet time, lol. That T-shirt is so cute and clever- what a great gift! Wow- a car sitting around since 1979- that is a long time! Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love the cards! I think girls usually have their Dad's wrapped around their little finger and it's sweet.
ReplyDeleteHooray for the corn - it looks good. My "Cherry" tomatoes are ripe but I think they were mislabeled because they are as big as Romas!
Oh, how I love sweet corn!! Yours looks delicious!! How fun that your dad has a new "old" vehicle to work on!! Keep us posted!! Stu's t-shirt made me giggle! I'm sure it is true! I enjoyed your photos, Kim! Have a great week ahead!!
ReplyDeleteYour sweet corn looks yummy! Alec's cherry tomatoes are slowly ripening but yet new green ones pop up each day too. It's fun to see the progress in the garden each day and now that he's gone it's all up to me to keep things going... Thankfully the harvesting side of it seems like the easy end!
ReplyDeleteYour father's old car to work on sounds just like my dad - he enjoyed crawling under the old car on his day off work. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteYou know why the car hasn't been driven since the year you were born don't you? It's because you cost dad too much money lol. I thought the commentators focused too much on Keegan at Newcastle and not so much on his time at Liverpool, it was a fitting tribute. I've really missed the football. That corn on the cob is fab.
ReplyDeleteHigh Fives on the sweetcorn. :-) I did not grow sweetcorn this year.
ReplyDeleteI love the T-shirt. ;-)
I had to laugh at that t-shirt because Brian totally needs one of those from Olivia! There's just something about little girls and their daddies! It's a special relationship for sure!
ReplyDeleteLovely to have a family night in front of the TV – I can’t remember the last time we did that. Love Stu’s cards and T-shirt. Well done on successfully growing sweetcorn. That is a very old tax disc – my birth year too! I see that Hull did manage to beat Man Utd – what a great result for them. #project365
