Still Moments.......

.........from this week.....

This week has been a mixed bag weather wise. We've had beautiful sunny days, mixed with wet weather days. I have LOVED the warm weather days. Sunshine, warm breezes, open windows and doors. Yet, the cooler, wetter days have been quite nice. It's still been mild. I have walked to school and loved the big trees against the blue skies, and I have loved the walk to school with the pitter patter of rain and the smell of wet, warm pavements.

It has been a relaxing week, yet a productive week. Things made, things put up on walls, paint colours decided upon(!), Spring cleaning done, lots of walks, and good healthy food eaten. It's a start. I will have walked 28 miles (by the end of today) for this week, so not bad.

I have been listening to the soundtrack of 'The Lakehouse' all week. Oh, I ♥︎ that film. The score is lovely and it's just been perfect to listen to on a beautiful sunny morning whilst I potter about. Somehow the daily chores don't seem to have been so 'chore-ish' this week.

I've tidied up more nerf darts than I care to count. 

I've loved how a bunch of 80p tulips have radiated all week and given me so much pleasure.

I've loved seeing new growth and buds in the garden. It's pleasing to see that I'm not a total gardening loser.

I've snuggled under blankets and eiderdowns and loved every minute of crocheting.

I've squeeled (ever so slightly under my breath) at finding the peachiest pink pots with lovely grapefruit scented wax candles in.

I've loved a coffee treat, savouring it's aroma and loving every sip of it. It's been a little piece of heaven.

I've baked fudge brownie muffins.....the Bear's favourite. The aroma is gorgeous and I have had to summon up willpower not to taste one, as you do, but I have amazed myself at how mega good I am being! I even said 'no' to dipping into a big box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts that were cheekily wafted in front of me to see if I caved. Oh so tempting, as I just love those naughty treats........wow, I've SERIOUSLY been a good girl.

I have also seen a few of my favourite films this week. Happy, feel good films. 'It's Complicated' has just finished playing. I had it on in the background whilst I caught up on a few things. I think it's so funny. I love Meryl Streep in it......and her house........sigh.......

I've had company all week from a furry friend. A neighbour's cat seems to have suddenly decided that he likes our little abode. Being an outdoor cat, and never really bothering with us for 10 years, he has suddenly decided that he likes it here. I am not so much a cat person, but I have taken pity on him. He is an old chap of 21. He has bad arthritis in his hips and he seems to want more attention. In the mornings he is at our door meowing to come in, and when I come back from the school walk he is there ready and waiting to be let in for attention and a snuggle. The Bear's are fairly happy with this little arrangement.

So....little moments.

Happy moments. 

Have a beautiful weekend all.
