This week my Word of the Week is:
I've had a busy week doing lots of things that I don't usually do, all good things and I have done a lot of watching of various things over the past week and it wasn't just the TV either!
Becky has had her 2nd week off work and it has been lovely watching her and her sister get along. Her and Ellie are not always the best of friends so when they do get along it warms my heart. The times when they have been getting along have mostly been plotting and ganging up on me, in the nicest possible way, well mostly! At the moment they are obsessed with playing pool, Becky took her dad to the pool bar for Father's Day and this week I decided to go along with them to see what all the fuss was about. It's not my cup of tea but it was nice to see them having fun together even if they did get a bit competitive. It also gave me an idea for Becky's birthday! She has always loved playing pool and has off and on over the years and has always asked or thought about buying her own pool cue, well I said I would get her one. Have you seen the price of them? I thought they would be about £20 with a case, nope! They're a lot more expensive. Eek!
Of course I have been watching TV. The live wrestling event from Saudi Arabia and of course Glastonbury Festival. I thought it was good but not as good as previous years. My highlights were seeing Lewis Capaldi, Alanis Morissette, The Script, Wet Leg and CMAT who was totally new to me but I had seen everyone dancing to her song on TikTok. She is fantastic! What a performer: energetic, entertaining and just a little bit crazy!
I watched all of the latest season of Squid Game over the weekend. I enjoyed it. The hide and seek game was brutal and I still can't believe the final winner. I've watched some of the tennis from Wimbledon and the Women's Euro 2025 football tournament kicked off mid-week and I have seen a couple of matches. It's just another one of those things, girls are better than boys. hehehe There certainly is a lot less dramatics! They seem to fall and they mostly get straight back up without needing medics and magic water sprayed on them.
During the week I met Ellie's boyfriends parents and it was hilarious to watch her and her boyfriends faces while me and his mum were talking about them both. I think if they could have dug themselves a hole and crawled into it they would have. They cringed so hard while us mums were sharing stories and laying down some ground rules for them. hehehe We're all on the same page and it's good to know the boyfriends parents are lovely people!
Over the the past couple of weeks I have watched my garden come to life. One day there was a couple of flowers now there are about 10 different types and colours. It was lovely on Wednesday to watch the rain falling. It wasn't even that fine, rain it was big, real raindrops! I ended up having to run around shutting the windows at the front of the house as it was coming inside. I'd like to say it cooled things down again but by teatime it was hot and sticky again! Hmmf.
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 for her Word of the Week linky!
