Well it has been a very very quiet week overall, we went from the craziness of Storm Ciara to the equally awful Storm Dennis, I'm not so sure about naming these storm as they really aren't nice, high winds lots and lots of rain and to be honest we really didn't want to move much.
Hubby took last Friday off given that it was Valentine's day, but more so that it was his birthday (and my Mums). We had arranged an impromptu breakfast catch up at Ikea to start the day off right.
So photo of the birthday girl with lil bro, as she reached a milestone birthday
We had a lovely catch up and my sister had kept it a surprise so my Mum was a little overwhelmed and teary at first, there was a present exchange given that we had two birthday people around the table and we had a thoroughly good catch up.
At home hubby had treated me to the most exquisite flowers and I used them in a red vase to make a change.
They really are beautiful and are still going strong at the moment.
The rest of the weekend was quiet, we shared a meal from the Chinese takeaway on hubby's birthday and had a meal deal for two on Saturday night rather than going out.
Hubby got some new films for his birthday and with no six nation's rugby being played he had time to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Ad Astra, I used the time to scrapbook, still ploughing through 2017 photos I'm now up to around July, so I'm doing well all things considered, I am going to have to consider the next photo order at this rate which will be hard work because the photo folders are quite honestly in a mess, but it's of my own doing, so I'll just keep on plodding with them. I therefore sort of half watched the films, both very strange and very thought provoking if truth be told.
Work has been technically quiet due to half term but that has just meant more intensive days which means I come home feeling very tired albeit mental tiredness.
I am enjoying scrapbooking again but I am irritated that the weather is scuppering plans to go out and do things at weekends and we have another front of high winds for this weekend.
And that my lovely people is the week that was, if you fancy joining in pop a post together come back and link up so we can come and visit.

Well, a belated happy birthday to hubby and to your mum! It must be so nice to have Ikea nearby. My husband would be there almost every day (in the cafe that is) given half the chance.
Those roses are gorgeous! And bought just before valentine's day they must have cost a small fortune! He's a keeper!
What a lovely photo of your mum and bro. She looks gorgeous (yr mum)
I've not heard of those film. But I'll go and read up on them.
Well done you for doing so much scrapbooking. I must do some myself. Like you I have just finished 2016 and haven't got the photos ready or printed at all. I must get moving on that one.
I hope you will have a good weekend in spite of the bad weather. (I won't mention our weather... that would be cruel)
Hugs,
Lisca
You sound as though as you have been hard hit by the storms as have my boys in the Shrewsbury area. I hope the worst has passed for you now.
The birthday breakfast sounds lovely. Your mum is looking good.
I love your flowers and their red vase Hopefully they will give you pleasure for a while yet.
I don't know either of the films. Chris and I have very different tastes in films so we don't get to watch them together very often.
I hope work doesn't pick up too intensely now half term is over. take care. Kate x
the flowers are beautiful, what a day full of celebrations! Your mum looks fab. Hoping for some better weather soon I must say, I've had enough of wind and rain to last a lifetime! Have a lovely weekend
