It is
immensely sad what is going on in the Ukraine and I absolutely respect those Ukrainians
who are staying to defend their homes. Like the rest of the world it was with sadness
and disbelief when I heard that Russia had actually invaded and I am proud of
the way the world has reacted and condemned these actions. Even the majority of
Russians did not want this to happen. Hoping and praying that it does not
escalate and it is over quickly.
We had a
glorious weekend weather wise, much needed after the storms of the last few weeks.
Today, however it is back to grey and dull. It does look like it is getting
brighter towards the end of the week however.
It is a
nice, simple menu plan this week with Pancake Day and Ash Wednesday taking care
of two days. Craig and I are at a Masonic Ladies Weekend in Lytham St Anne’s
which we are both looking forward to. Emma is going to be cooking for her and
Matthew as neither wanted to come along.
Monday – Chicken Caesar Salad
Tuesday –
Pancakes
Wednesday
– Tatty Ash
Thursday
– Ikea meatballs (need to take a trip to Ikea)
Friday,
Saturday, Sunday- Away for the weekend
Starting on
the Dumbo element of the Disney Cross Stitch this week once I have purchased a
smaller hoop. There are also got some needle felted love birds to finish off and I have cast on a new dishcloth pattern.
A couple of
months ago Craig and I caught an episode of ‘Death in Paradise’ on TV and we
both enjoyed it, so this week we have started watching the programme from the first
episode with Ben Millar.
I have
about halfway through ‘The Crafternoon Sewcial Club’ by J Williams which is an easy read. The book
club choice this month is ‘If you could see me now’ by Cecilia Aherne. I have
also got ‘The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting’ by Evanna Lynch (Luna from Harry
Potter) where she retells her life with anorexia when she was a child.
Wishing you
all a peaceful week.
Linking up with Karen and Sandra as usual.
The world has been pretty amazing when it comes to the situation in Ukraine. I have been avoiding the news for my sanity but from what I have seen things seem to be getting worse.
ReplyDeleteIt's rained here most of the day which is a shame after the lovely weekend we had.
Fab meal plan! I had to Google what Tatty Ash was. hehehe Yum, yum. Have a great week x
Tatty Ash is one of my husband's favourite meals. I tend to do mine in the oven and make it a bit 'wetter' than the recipes seem to be. It is still very tasty especially with a crust and red cabbage.
DeleteI agree it is heartbreaking I listened to radio 4 on the way home this morning and listening to a lady speak about her and her daughter i was in tears. Your meals sound lovely and enjoy your time away
ReplyDeleteWar is never good. It breaks my heart, and I've in prayer for both Ukraine and Russia, for the people of Ukraine and for the people of Russia who also don't have a say in what is happening, and are just as upset about it.
ReplyDeleteYummy meals on your menu. Hope you have a wonderful time at the Masonic Lodge.
Have a blessed week.
Hello Friend!
ReplyDeleteCould not agree more about feeling so sad for the folks of Ukraine and praying for everyone to find their way to peace. I worry for our world and pray every day for change and the Light to cast out the Dark from so many places.
I was thinking of tackling a cross stitch project too. I bet the Disney one is adorable! The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting book sounds good. I love biographies of that sort.
Your menu sounds delish! Pancakes here today too 😋 Have a blessed week. xo
The Disney cross stitch is a part works magazine which I am so far behind with. There are 4 samplers that you are provided with the materials for and plenty of other projects that you can make.
DeleteHugs to Ukraine. would like to see the cross stitch project
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
Thank you. I will be posting a picture of the progress I have made soon, hopefully.
DeleteHow was your week? I am like you, don't like to listen to the news too much... I had to google Tatty Ash too! Looks yum :) xx
