You have lots of good reasons to be cheerful, sounds like you had a very good week. Your new fence looks great and you have wonderful family, friends and neighbours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. It wasn't the sort of week I'd planned but was improved immensely by meeting up with family and friends.
DeleteThat looks so lovely and cosy. Isn't it wonderful that we can spend the weekend resting, reading, cross stitching, watching telly, whatever we like, without having to think about work for the following week. Of all the things I appreciate about no longer working, I think taking back ownership of the weekend is one of the biggest.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a good week for you.

I have to agree with you. Regaining my weekends to do exactly what I want to do is probably top of my list for the best bits of retirement. xx
DeleteEven if you didn't spend the week doing quite what you had planned to do, you still found a lot of things to be cheerful and grateful about. It sounds like a good week to spend time with family and friends. Hope you'll have some good weather in the new week and you've have even more reasons to be cheerful and grateful. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been a really good week thanks Bless. I'm having to get used to having visitors at home again but I am enjoying the changes. I suppose the lockdowns have affected me more than I'd thought and I'm just so used to being on my own!
DeleteWe're dealing with another storm today but the weather is supposed to improves towards the end of the week.
Sending hugs and good vibes for your knee!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyssa. It's slowly improving but I still haven't been able to see my doctor about it.
DeleteNice lists. I love that photo! It's a great one with a unique perspective.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon x
