Keep On Swimming!

It’s Monday again… How did that happen?!

Been a busy weekend for us. What with Pop’s Birthday and things I knew it would be mad, but certain things you can’t anticipate! I forgot, for a start, that we were meant to be going visiting with the in-laws on Saturday, so my beautifully laid plans for this weekend went out the window! 

Then Lil Man went for his first Cricket training… Amd he totally smashed it! The coach was amazed at his leftie bowling talent, and requested he be signed up for the team to play this coming Friday! He was invited for a one to one nets training session on the Sunday, so we duly went to the shops on Sunday morning to kit him up. Whites bought and his first box! How funny! 

But cricket trousers come with the hem undone, so I would need to hem them before Friday.

The nets went brilliantly… So brilliantly they asked that he be signed up immediately,and play on Monday, as in tonight!!

No pressure!!!

So, trousers hemmed, kit ready for his first match. Just hope that it doesn’t rain, and the match gets cancelled. He is so excited!

It’s also the last week before half term…


I can always tell we are due a holiday as my energy starts to flag, the kids at home and school start getting rattier and rattier. It hasn’t helped that I forgot my Vitamin D tablets recently, and I’ve been flaking out so early in the evenings.

But…


I have a little secret…

I can’t be more specific at the moment. But needless to say, these holidays are going to be a week to remember for a very positive reason!

It may mean I am a little indisposed for few days, challenge entire may be delayed, but they will be done!

I’m so excited! 

And I’ll share very soon!!!

Have a wonderful Monday Peeps!

#SoCS May 21/16 – Brake/Break

It’s Saturday SoCS time!

SoCS badge 2015

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: β€œbrake/break.” Use one, use them both, but whatever you do, enjoy!

Always use your brakes with your emotions… don’t speed off down the emotional highway without checking them. Slow down, make sure you are travelling down the right road… You don’t want to end up with a heart that breaks…

Short and sweet today πŸ™‚

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Blowtorch
Pulling the ramekins out of the oven, I was really pleased with the results.
Dave loved Crème Brulee and I was determined to make this meal the best thing he had ever eaten. Never having made this before, I was following the instructions to the letter.
Now, what was next? Sprinkle sugar, ok.
Then using your blowtorch, caramelise the sugar.
Blowtorch?! No one told me I needed a blowtorch?!
β€œMum! Dad! Have you got a blowtorch?”
β€œYes love,” Dad answered, β€œit’s in the shed, I’ll just go get it.”
Moments later, Dad arrived with his protective mask and an industrial blowtorch. β€œRight love, what needs welding?”

The prompt word wasΒ Blowtorch.
