Good morning lovely people tis Friday time for
Well Friday last week despite the silly temperatures outside me, hubby and at one point my sister had a busy day out in the garden trying to put things right after hubby recently building a new planter. This is due to the foot of garden we have gained since they took the hedge out next door. Technically we thought we had done with major garden projects when we did it several years ago, but we appear to be having to re-establish our boundary on the left once more. However, the change has meant that we've created a lovely nook and moved the fire pit over, we are hoping that we might use it a little more frequently, the next stage is building a giant wood store (given the expected massive rises in power costs we think we may become more reliant on the wood burner over the next few years unless someone does something about it) and this will provide a pretty view than I currently have, by the end of the day we were both really pleased with what we had achieved and were very grateful for the help of little sis.
Said 21 year old and his fiancee popped over on their way back from Leeds, they had been to stay with my niece for a catch up and also to find wedding rings which was a successful jaunt out, so it was really lovely to see them.
We had some really sad news about a first cousin of hubby who had passed away recently, despite being next of kin we haven't been notified and found out after the funeral, which seems really strange. She was such a wonderful lady, I can still hear her beautiful voice in my head, she always dressed beautifully and was forever smiling, she simply lit up a room. As with anything I think funerals provide part of the grieving process, so you might ask why on earth am I talking about it here, well as I was planting out our new garden planter on Saturday, I chose pink and white flowers entirely to remember this wonderful lady by. Hopefully every time I see them bloom over the next few months it will give us all time to process and reminisce and remember fun times.
After a very busy few days, we sat out on the back of the house on Saturday night and I enjoyed a 0% pink gin and lemonade which was lovely.
Hubby covered a boat trip for work on Saturday afternoon, the weather looks glorious but really very hot for managing a boat which is predominantly metal.
I stayed at home and put the second series of Bridgerton on again, which I prefer to the first and did some scrapbooking, it was nice to just sit and enjoy my favourite hobby. You will no doubt recognise most of the photos from the last few months posts as I'm on with June's photos currently, the majority relate to our trip to Center Parcs.
Sunday and hubby went food shopping and dropped me at my Mum's house so we could catch up. We had a lovely natter which was great, she had some news that they need to change her treatment again in the week as the current course isn't resolving the issue in her lungs which is why she is so much more breathless which is a real worry, but I'm grateful that they are looking at another course of medication that may benefit her, if there is something we should never take for granted it is our health and our amazing NHS.
Monday and back to work this time with hubby our CEO had decided it was time to paint the offices, unfortunately we were a little devoid of people but those of us that could get on and paint did.
The rest of the week has been the usual blur, I hope you've had a great week.
Hugs
