Oops sorry about that, I disappeared for a while there. It wasn’t planned. Just the same old busy life excuse, so bad in fact that I haven’t even read or commented on any of the lovely blogs I read. I will catch up!
I could get used to all these long weekends we are having lately! And the weather is beautiful, we've had sun for 3 weeks, unbelievable!
I loved watching the Royal Wedding, I got really excited about it the day before. We didn't have a street party but I did put some bunting up!
I have had a most relaxing, enjoyable weekend at the coast. It was wet. Rain all day Friday and Sunday, lots and lots of rain. However, Saturday was a bright, fresh and sometimes even sunny. We had a lovely walk around the harbour at Bridlington and even managed to have lunch at an outdoor cafe. Blimey!
Even while the rain lashed down on the caravan during the rest of the weekend, I still enjoyed having some time to relax. It has been so hectic at home and work (especially work!) for the past month. Going back to full time hours after the six week summer holiday and being thrown back into life at full speed ahead is a bit of a shock to the system.
I spent some much needed time reading while Mr Fuzz enjoyed the golf. Then enjoyed a glass or 2 of red wine while we watched these...
So now I am back at home, unpacked, jobs done, dog walked, candles lit, butternut squash soup warmed, in time to watch the second episode of Downton Abbey...yes I intend to enjoy every minute of the weekend. The madness of Monday morning will be here soon enough!
And it's still raining!
Eastenders - I am a TV addict and Eastenders is my favourite soap at the moment. Loved the live episode of Friday, it was so good not knowing what will happen for a change! Poor Bradders though - sniff sniff. I'm also enjoying Shameless, Material Girl, Silent Witness, Nurse Jackie, Desp Housewives, Come Dine With me and Lark Rise to Candleford.
Old Fairy bottles are back! So retro. These have taken me right back to the 70s. I am in the kitchen washing up at the kitchen sink with my Mum after the sunday lunch again.
Making chocolate butterfly buns and coconut cupcakes, then not eating any because I've given up chocolate and biscuits for Lent. The family were only too happy to help polish them off.
It's that time of the week again - FRIDAY - I'm sure you know by now that I live for the weekends, especially Fridays after a long week at work (and believe me this week as been longgggg!)
No seaside this weekend so I am planning a relaxing Friday evening, with a little blog time, a couple of glasses of wine, and watching a lot of silly people acting daft and wearing red noses. We had a cake stall at work but they weren't as cute as these (How clever!) We still sold out though. We did buy too many boxes of noses though so I ended up in the street, pestering the passing public to buy the last few (the things you have to do!).
I've been thinking a lot about my blog lately. It frustrates me that I don't have enough time to spend blogging. I do try my best and I still love to blog. I am a bit frustrated with typepad and have been thinking about moving over to blogger but I can't face transferring all the posts. So I've decided to stay put and try to 'tart' my blog up a bit. I really want to make a banner but in order to do this I would need to upgrade my typepad account (I only have the basic one at present). I really don't want to spend any extra though so I will have to re-think that one.
