Saturday


Greetings Human-beings!

I hope that all is well with you.  I write at the end of a pleasant day.  We started out the day with a house-viewing but with washing up done before. The house was in a lovely location but very expensive and it has really low-ceilings and just a bit neglected. I wish I could like those boxy 1960's or 1970's buildings more but I am just drawn to 1930's houses.
After that, we had lunch in a delightful cafe in a nearby village.

 I wrote a letter to a penpal accompanied by Tropical Grey tea.
 Then ate Avocado on toast with olives, sundried tomatoes and chilli flakes with an extra of bacon!
I didn't give into the temptation of these...

We then went to fetch a prescription for me and then came home where I did some useful chores and put a few things away.  Finally, CBC booked us into a really lovely Gastropub which won an award in Turling. It was MILES and MILES away from home but was really worth it!

Oh yes, I forgot about this!
I haven't really done loads of outfit posts in recent times- Winter always makes that hard but I thought I'd share this simple comfortable outfit.  I am more of a fan of Skater dresses as they suit my shape better but I have to say this cotton Smock dress (Primark) is always a comfy winner worn with leggings.  And I'm wearing CBC's shoes here! I was comfy and cosy all day!

Oh yes, and some accessories!!! 

I am so thankful to be on holiday now. It has been a hard term and I am going to make the most of this rest.

Things I am thankful for this week:

  • The joy of joining together with my old Gamelan group and performing a fabulous concert. I missed those guys!
  • The amazing Indonesian food box that one of the dancers prepared for us- I HAD TEMPEH!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • The pains, discomfort, cramps and consequently, the anxiety I have been having for the past month have been much less this week. I don't know if it is the antibiotics I have been taking or it is hormonally linked or what, but I am thankful and pray that the residural pains etc will go completely.
  • Time spent with CBC enjoying it!
  • Great fun and hilarity at school with the Easter Bonnet parade.
  • The joy of having decided to take on an extra boy as one of my individual readers. He's a right pain in class but I do feel sorry for him.  Reading with him was painfully slow, but the animation with which he responded to my questioning and asking his predictions for the book made the sacrifice of time worth it. He WILL enjoy reading! It shall happen.
  • Enjoying reading the final Laura Ingalls Wilder book.
Good night to ye!

  6. Boxy 60s houses are amazing! They're all about the light and efficient use of space. I understand why people might not be drawn to them straight away but they were designed in the spirit of optimism and looking to the future, that always cheers me up!

  9. So lovely seeing your writing that letter. I'm a big fan of letters...there is something special in putting one thoughts in writing. We should be pen pals too. My husband always says my handwriting is terrible, but I don't think it's that bad. I'm pretty sure that you would be able to read it.

    You look lovely in that dress. Good luck with house hunting!
