End of the week

Posted on by Libby Withnall

Got up at 6.30am and took the dogs for a walk. So nice it’s getting warm enough for an early morning walk.

Later after dropping the girls at school I had some cruskits with spreadable cheese and a much longed for cup of tea. Hopefully next week I’ll be back in the swing of things and making proper breakfasts again.

Then it was off to the beauticians for a mani, pedi and eyelash & eyebrow tint. So good to have eyebrows again :-).

When I got back at 12pm I made a salad with a lentil pattie.

It was rather cold today so my afternoon snack was a warm bowl of veggie soup.

Dinner tonight was a family favourite – sweet bean burritos. I cheated and used an old photo.

Kevin and I ate dinner watching TV, while the girls sat outside on our driveway (in the cold) with the neighbours. Crazy!!!

Definitely had a good nights sleep so felt a lot better this morning. We were running rather behind this morning so I didn’t get my breakfast until after dropping the girls at school. On the menu today – banana on toast and a cup of tea.

I spent the morning getting the house all tidied and organised and in between worked on uploading photos to snapfish. Morning tea was tea and a couple of oatmeal and raisen cookies.

Lunch was a salad featuring egg.

Amy and I had to go into town this afternoon to buy dresses for my cousin’s wedding on Saturday – nothing like leaving it to the last minute. We were successful and stopped by Gloria Jeans on the way home where I got a Iced Chocolate.

When we got home my order from Doorstep Organics had arrived.

This will restock the fridge for sure.

Dinner tonight- pumpkin lasagne (dug out of the freezer) with corn, potato and cauliflower. Hmm.. it all looks very yellow :-).

Supper was a cup of tea and some ginger cream biscuits from the UK.

Holiday Momentos

Slowly getting back into the rhythm that is normal life! I’ve finally got everything sorted and put away and thought I’d share with you what I bought for myself. I think I was very restrained. I saw so many things I’d love to have bought – some were too big, some too heavy :-(.

You might have noticed the new necklace I bought in Sweden.

I also bought this Matt Jonasson glass etching. I’ve already got some wolves and bears. Little did I know how much I’d love the reindeer we saw in Scotland.

These cute handmade wooden flowers and vase were bought at Covent Garden in London. And they match my kitchen perfectly.

My beautiful set at Matruska dolls.

Gorgeous linen cushion covers from Tallinn, Estonia.

Of course I had to buy a highland cow – to replace the one that Amy lost as a child.

Some bunting. It’s everywhere in the UK and I just love it. Have it hanging in the scrapbook room.

Cute paper serviettes. I don’t normally paper ones but these were too cute to leave (and light as well :-))

Calender, pen set and a Celtic Rock CD.

Some Christmas decorations.

Purse and cheese knife.

And, of course, some food essentials! Galaxy Minstrels for me, Magic Stars for the girls. And those ginger crunch biscuits are to die for!

There were also some teas, a tea caddy and a new mug. Plus I  got two pairs of fingerless gloves and those mismatched socks. And a lovely apron.

I’m so happy with everything that I got and it certainly makes me smile and remember some very good times when I see these things around me home.

Now, normal blogging can resume :-).
