This time a week ago, we were on holiday. We’d packed up our bags and were making the last of a full day Levante. Team Weston was united – doing our best jumps in, holding hands, twirling in the air and literally trying to soak it all up one last time.
A week later, and we’re home, and facing this….
It’s a mountain of shoes, trainers, wellies, flippers, flip flops and slippers. And this is what’s left AFTER we got rid of two bin bags that were no longer of use to use. They’ve gone to the recycling bin in the village. It felt good to get something done. There was lots of other things we did as well though.. And it’s given me the opportunity to appreciate again, what a lovely life we have, and how blessed we all are to have each other.
The boys went to Kung Fu. I took coffee and drafted some work for a project for a new client. And yes, that mug is that cool – it came as a gift from Snap Dragon Online after I helped Jane, the owner, with something a while ago.
We tackled the shoes, as soon as we got home. Then W sat on Lovely Bloke’s head to watch Big Bang Theory, as you do…..
And then I took the boys to Little Shelford Feast, which was an inpromptu afternoon out that turned out to be brilliant. E got to handle 2 birds – I don’t remember what they were called, but he knew lots of facts about them and have a very intellingent conversation with the handler, who was surprised at E’s questions and observations about them!
And they got to hang out with friends as well. Here’s my two, with two more. Mine are on the left, and the ones on the right are W’s best friend and his little sister. Don’t worry though, E keeps an eye out for the littlest. Actually, it’s not really needed – she can more than hold her own against the boys. She’s brilliant.
And then it was home for tea – curry “made” by Lovely Bloke who threw chicken breasts in the slow cooker with a sauce. Literally whole, he didn’t even chop them up. And then rice in the microwave. We all woofed it down and watched TV together. So although it wasn’t a day at Levante, and didn’t involve jumping in pools together, it was a pretty good day.
I’m documenting all this because E and I were chatting about this kind of thing yesterday – enjoying being in the moment. Appreciating all the lovely things we have in our lives. He’s very thoughtful, caring and thinks a lot. Just like me 😉
It’s important to focus on the good stuff in the everyday, don’t you think?
