It has been a gorgeous Bank Holiday here and the weather has been perfect. We have had a couple of days out and a new addition to the family in the form of a great niece who arrived on the 27th. I don't know when we will get to actually meet her but we did call round to the proud grandparents to drop a few gifts off as Mum and baby were still in hospital and they don't live locally.
The Weather
Much improved on the previous weeks. A chance to sit in the garden after work and enjoy the birdsong and the sound of children playing.
Looking around the house and garden
I have managed to get the weeds pulled up from the front garden and the gardener has been to mow the lawn and turn the soil over in the back garden. Craig has pulled up a couple of bushes that died and I have got some plants to replace them which I just need to put in the ground once it has cooled down in the evening.
The house is looking in good shape as I have caught up with housework after two days out. Just a huge pile of ironing to do.
On the Menu
With the weather getting warmer the meals are going to be lighter this week.
Monday - picnic at home
Tuesday- turkey fajitas with either a tortilla or lettuce wrap
Wednesday - Parma pork with squash mash
Thursday - Pan fried fish with Mediterranean vegetables
Friday - Chicken, pepper and chorizo bake
Saturday -Ramen (which we didn't have last week)
Sunday - Meal out with father and stepmother in law
On my to do list this week.
Book appointments for hair and eyebrows
Cut out fabric for circle skirt
Do another square for my knitted blanket.
From the camera
As I can't really share a photo of my great niece then I thought I would share some photos of new animals I have seen whilst out on walks this last few weeks.
Wishing you all a wonderful week.
Checking out Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom and Katy to see what they have planned for future inspiration.
Congrats on the new grand niece. I like the idea of a picnic at home.
