Last week
was the last half term that Matthew will have in school and Craig and I had a
few days off. We went to Blackpool to see the fireworks and find out who had
won the competition. Normally the fireworks were set up on the North Pier but
this display was on the beach. Craig and Matthew had a day on various steam
trains and a trip to the cinema and we went to RHS Bridgewater. Matthew was
most pleased that a visit to Pizza Hut also occurred.
I didn’t do
a menu plan as we were not together as a family once during the week so things
were a bit ‘off the cuff’ and decided in the morning once the day’s activities
were confirmed.
Menu plan
I am glad
that things are a bit more normal this week but the weekend is going to be busy
and we will be eating out both days.
Tuesday – Coke
chicken
Wednesday- Pea
and Ham Soup
Thursday- Sausage
and Mash potato
Friday- Mushroom risotto
Looking out
of the window.
It is
raining quite heavily at the moment and the garden is full of leaves that need
clearing up. This will probably have to wait until Saturday morning when we
have a bit of time to be able to do it.
How I am
feeling
My digestive system doesn’t feel quite right and I am a little tired but apart from that I am feeling motivated to get things done and looking forward to a day out on Sunday.
On my reading
pile
I have the
new book club choice which is ‘Restless’ by William Boyd. I have also started
reading the third of the Bridgerton series ‘An Offer From a Gentleman’ by Julia
Quinn which is reminding of Cinderella. It is an easy read and hopefully one to
get me back into my reading groove again.
Menu plan,
shopping list and order shopping for delivery on Sunday evening.
Post quilted
advent calendar to friends in America.
Get rid of
leaves in garden
Clean
inside of cars.
Finish 1st
mini Christmas cross stitch.
Wishing you
all a good week.
It sounds like a good half term.

Thank you. This is the 3rd Julia Quinn book I have read and it was because of the Bridgerton series on Netflix. Looking forward to reading the rest at some point.
