Weekend in a post

I've had a long weekend, no work except my domestic goddess duties and its been a bit weird. I've purposely not written any lists to achieve or planned any activities so that anything that happens is spontaneous but it is hard to get out of the thinking that I need to be doing something structured and not leisurely.  With hindsight, I realise that I need to get a life!

So this weekend, I've managed to do all my washing and take advantage of the two days of sunshine we've actually had. So I have a batch of fresh-dryed washing to sort.  What is it about fresh bedsheets that's just so perfect? I found this great site with tips of creating those fresh summery scents all year round, so rather than use up the earth's natural resources to keep things fresh, I can create some natural scents to pep up my laundry.

I also 'camped out' in front of the TV and watched Glastonbury, and was blown away by Beyonce. Despite 'the contraversy' of Beyonce being the headline act at the festival by a number of stalwart critics, she performed a fantastic set to around 170,000 people who looked like they wouldn't be asking for their money back. Although, I have to say that my favourite performance was Biffy Clyro Mountains.

I managed to read half of Her fearful symmetry by Audrey Niffengegger, who also wrote the Time Travelers Wife. I'd definitely recommend it.  I'm not a massive fan of her first book but this book based around Highgate Cemetery is really good. I have two more books to read before I can fill up my kindle with new reads, so any recommendations are gratefully received.

My Sky Plus planner has also been greatly reduced and I've caught up on The Game of Thrones, repeatedly watched the final, ever episode of Brothers and Sisters

I'd also not been out for a few months so when I finally went out on Saturday night with a couple of friends for some early evening drinks, I managed to get easily tipsy. Hence I wrote a drunken post! Not sure how I managed to write something while under the influence and not incur spelling mistakes.

I've also been a bit behind with my blogging so am busy taking some pictures and normal posting will resume shortly.

Please may I? It was a really cheap night, I only speak £20! Thank goodness the bar doesn't do cocktails! x

Beyonce was great! You've done really well getting all that done. I have a stack of washing I should be doing and both my Sky+ machines are almost full. I need to deal with it!

Love the tips for the laundry, I shall make the linen spray.

Hope you're having a good weekend xx

Brassed Off (1996)- Danny's speech

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
