ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY - 6TH OF 2026

 Good morning lovely people tis Friday time for 

Well the weather has not been particularly kind to us this week if I'm honest it has been wall to wall rain, which does make it feel rather dismal out there at the moment.  However, there have been some positive moments in the week. 

Well last Friday me and hubby met family down at Ikea for a breakfast which was lovely.  My niece was celebrating that she had got herself a new job which was fantastic news.  My grandson didn't seem very enamoured with his milk (to be honest they have had issues with milk since he was born).  Thankfully my daughter-in-law trialled a different one later in the day and he was much happier with that, so I'm very grateful on that front. 

Saturday we had a walk and a lovely brunch together and then my son, daughter-in-law and grandson came to visit and we had a lovely catch up for a few hours together which was great.  Hubby had made a slow cooker tea which was lovely and there was enough to cover Sunday night as well. 

On Sunday me and hubby made a St Brigid's cross, I made one out of paper and hubby made one out of ivy, St Brigid is a curious saint in that they aren't quite sure if she was a real person.  We also cleansed some of our crystals in the full moon, I'm hoping the cloud cover won't affect them as it was definitely cloudy that night. 

On Sunday my daughter-in-law sent this photo, it was his first pair of proper dungarees he was wearing as he was off to a baby shower, he looks very cute bless him. .  

Monday arrived and back to work, I worked from home Monday and Wednesday this week and despite my promises to myself that I would finish early on Wednesday I started a job that couldn't be left mid-way through.

Hubby bought me some new flowers when he went shopping, they are opening up beautifully at the moment. 

I've read 'The Simple Things' magazine a number of times and really enjoy it as a read.  It works out that the subscription is good value for money, so I ordered it and my first copy turned up this week, so I enjoyed starting it in front of the fire the other day. 

After work on Wednesday we went for a walk and popped to the pub on the way back which made a nice change and broke the working week. 

My daughter-in-law sent me this gorgoues photo of her and my grandson at his first playgroup this week, I love the 'matching' outfits and the photo makes my heart sing. 

I hope you've had a grand week. 

Hugs

ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY - 17TH OF 2015

Morning all, well it's the first time that I've prepared a Friday post on a Thursday for quite some time!  You can thank the Last Leg for that as I'm now wide awake and watching it again!

So what have the last 7 days had in story!  Well Friday last week meant bag-packing for said 14 year old (almost put 11 year old - having a flashback - LOL) at local supermarket raising money for his expedition to Lesotho.  Saturday was mine and hubby's wedding anniversary, I sat and thought it's not that long ago since we got married - 17 years - let me say that again 17 YEARS!!  I remember my Mum and Dad being married that long and thinking it was forever, in all honesty it was blink and you'd miss it - the time has flown.  I put that down to the amazing life we have together and the time we are together, we both understand how each other ticks, how essential it is to talk about life and how we are and work through any concerns and the most important element to remember the simple things in life and most of all being grateful for what we have!

This is the two of us on our wedding day 17 years ago!

And 17 years later, we learn that taking photos into the sun creates shadows LOL!

We then proceeded to enjoy a 3 course banquet on Saturday!  Homemade mushroom soup, an all in one potato dish with pan fried salmon and a low calorie Eton mess, we did partake in a little vino but on the grounds we were polishing Halo on the food front we weren't too worried!

For our anniversary I bought him some outdoor Shakespeare tickets and he got me a gorgeous fluorite point

And as it was our 17th anniversary an Ametrine heart, which holds an amazing personal meaning!

As well as the tickets he got a double page scrapbook layout, including 'quirky' things from the original day and how our life is today!

Sunday we ventured to Nostell Priory - gorgeous gardens

Family selfies

Including time to discover the lakeside walk!

Wandering around an amazing house!

And me and said 14 year old trying our hand at rag rugging, something my Mum has spoken about frequently!

Monday brought a change in the work scenery for me, it's been an interesting and varied week, not sure how things will pan out but the change has been a positive one and everyone has been really great!

Hubby's meeting with the surgeon confirmed the hernias are sorted but the need for a scan just to resolve any potential issues, he also managed to get back into work on Thursday after many weeks off, so easing himself back into the work scenario, although having said that he is struggling tonight, so fingers crossed he manages tomorrow and the weekend gives him some respite!

Thursday afternoon seeing my old work colleagues as I keep their systems ticking along, it's been lovely and I managed to get loads done during the afternoon as well as catching up with everyone!

And that my lovely people is my list of happies and positives from the week, I hope yours has been as positive and fruitful, if you fancy joining in then write your blog listing/noting your happy/positive moments from the week and then come back, link up leave a message and we shall come and visit.

I hope your week has been lovely!
