Day 1441 something nice about that number.. Good Friday 2024

It’s my day off today and I have zero plans for the next 3 days… nada, diddly squat, nowt.

That usually just opens up before me like a big hole in the ground but despite saying I’ve been freaking out, I’m actually looking forward to the relaxation. It’s been a busy few weeks.

We had a lovely meal last night at The Ship in Irvine. Our table was booked for 6pm coz that’s how we roll these days. It’s a lovely place.

Craig had Cullen Skink for starter and I had garlic mushrooms. Both were lovely.

Craig had fish and chips and I had vegetable pie…. In keeping with my random not eating meat thing.. it was really good.

Pinch my sundae and I’ll punch you. Not quite sure how I captured this random shot but it’s a good one… the dessert is mine.

This is a Tunnocks Ice Cream Sundae.

Tunnocks are a famous Scottish biscuit/cake brand and I have to say it tasted like a Tunnocks Teacake and a snowball all rolled into one!

It’s 1.30pm and I’ve been for a run with Rachel, walked Bhru by myself and walked Khaleesi and Freya with Claire… had a cuppa, tidied the house, hoovered, cleaned, put away washing, marvelled at the sunshine, put two new washings on and had a shower. Then I sat down in the silence and have almost fallen asleep.

The silence is lovely. I’ve only 3 dogs and they are fast asleep.

Showcasing my crochet here. 😂

Rachel and I headed out at 7.30am. It’s a beautiful morning. Here we are running!!

It’s such a lovely morning.

It’s all about the puddle reflections this morning. It must have rained heavily overnight.

There is a tiny reflection in this puddle!

This huge puddle shows how much it’s rained.

Love seeing the sun like this.

Bhru enjoying some one on one!

I headed back home and picked up Claire, Khaleesi & Freya!

We went into Spiers old school grounds and this huge tree has fallen over. As we walked towards it, it looked like a new, muddy pond… then I realised the tree was down and the water is the root bed filling up after the rain.

Freya having a wee chat with Khaleesi.

Freya getting cuddles from her Auntie Claire.

More reflections on the way back.

Claire came in for a cuppa and got kisses from Khaleesi!

So the weather went from warm in the lovely sunshine to torrential rain pretty quickly.

My in-laws came down this afternoon with our nephew this afternoon… to deliver Easter eggs!! We had a lovely catch up.

We also had a guy come out to fix our French doors at the back of the house. For over an hour we had 4 adults and a teenager AND 5 dogs all in one room…. So the guy had free rein to come in and out the house.!

So yeah that’s my Friday. Been a good day.

Hope you all have a great weekend. No Easter break for me as we work Monday but I’m looking forward to the next 2 days to chill.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1424 another busy day in the life!

I had a great sleep but a very restless last few hours. It didn’t feel like a great sleep when I woke, but it really was….

Now this will make you laugh….. I’d heard a good way of getting curly hair was to dry your hair through a colander or a sieve.

It did not work. 😂😂😂 I got the very slightest curl but not what u expected at all. Did make me laugh trying it though and did wash the sieve afterwards. 🤦🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🦱

We were really just at work again today… don’t know where the day went! It’s good to be busy… but I’m really tired today.

It’s a dreich day, very misty and damp. I took a pic of our first daffoildils in the garden… they are not great but I’m proud of them 😂😂

This one looks more like a yellow snow drop!

It’s a smirry rain… that kind that soaks you but I went out anyway as its lovely to connect with nature.

I cooked again tonight. Check me!

Rich & Creamy Cacio E Pepe Butterbeans With Tenderstem Broccoli & Smokey Chipotle Toasted Sunflower Seeds… you so know I copied that don’t you. 😂

It was really lovely and I have some for lunch tomorrow.

The good thing about Planthood meals is that they are much faster to cook than the Green Chef I had last week. I like the 15 minutes rather than 30-40.

Since I don’t have much to say today I also took a photo of all the supplements I am currently taking at the moment.

Most of these are on recommendation but I know the daily vitamins are not the best and could be stronger. I try to take these every day but I do struggle at the weekends outwith my daily routine.

Happy to take any further recommendations! (Just remembered Helen has suggested Tumeric…. Will look into that)

Happy Tuesday night! Oh did anyone know there was a teal heart emoji now?!? I’ve never seen it before?! 🩵🩵🩵

Stay safe everyone 🩵🩵🩵
