It has been a pretty good week. SJ was well enough to go back to nursery, which was a big relief! On Wednesday was my first day back at work after my holiday. I am not gonna lie – I could have done with another week off, especially after SJ being ill. However, I do love my work and I enjoyed the time at my desk.
However, I was a bit all over the place though. I think I was just out of routine a bit. I managed to practice piano exactly once and somehow I had forgotten to go grocery shopping. What I need is a day to reset, I think. Clean the flat, do some laundry and make a bunch of lists! Does anyone else feel like their constantly chasing their tales? It seems like as soon as I manage to get on top of things in one area, things fall apart in another. But this post is about the things I am grateful for, so let’s focus on that!
This week’s highlights
- On Sunday it was Edd’s birthday. We had such a lovely day. In the morning we had church at our house together with our friends Esther and Mo from England. It’s always so nice when we have visitors and have a few more people in the room.
- Edd celebrated with a BBQ in our garden. It started raining as soon as we sat down to eat, but we were under the balcony, so stayed dry! And it was actually super cozy.
- Esther and Mo stayed until Monday night, so we still had the day with them on Monday. In the afternoon we headed to one of our favourite restaurants for a late lunch. They have a big playground outside, so SJ is a fan of the place, too!
- Every now and then, my dad and I make music together, he plays guitar and I sing. We had a couple of gigs already and always got such positive feedback, which was kind of unexpected for me! Monday night he and I met to practice some new songs and it was a lot of fun.
- Tuesday was my last day off from work and I spent the whole morning while SJ was at nursery sewing. I finished my All Well Full Moon Bag (you can see some pictures of it here). I can’t quite describe how happy those few hours made me. Sewing is such a wonderful hobby.
- In the afternoon, SJ, my mum and I spend some time in the garden. We repotted some of our seedling. It’s so cool to see how a plant grows from a little speck. Life is a miracle!
- I sent out a newsletter! If you like you can sign up for it. My plan is to send one every Thursday during my 100 Day project with links to all the posts I published that week.
- Before work on Wednesday I went for an early morning swim which was the best start to the day.
- One of my oldest and best friends came to visit us one afternoon. We sat on our balcony, enjoyed the sun and caught up with one another. It was lovely.
- I saw a rainbow!
- Speaking of sunshine: The arrival of spring makes me SO HAPPY. Here is a little springtime appreciation post from this week.
- With the weather getting slightly warmer I have been craving summer foods. So, on Friday I made a salad to take to small group and one for Edd and me. DELICIOUS.
- SJ and I also made Pizza. She refused to eat it in the end, but if I had let her, she would have eaten the entire dough raw.
- Friday morning I caught up with one of my best friends in England. Video calls are not the same as meeting in person but I am so grateful to be able to connect with my friends in the UK so easily.
