Joining in again this week with Sunday Sevens – started by Nathalie at Threads and Bobbins – sharing seven (or so) pictures of the week beyond the blog.
During the week after Christmas I kept looking out of our bedroom window wondering what a small white patch on our back lawn was. On New years eve I finally remembered it while I was out in the garden and went to investigate. It turned out to be this…
Anyone else in the northern hemisphere got daisies blooming?
Unfortunately we were both still so full of cold we didn’t go out on New Years Eve, so no hangover on New Years Day. Still poorly, but determined to do something constructive, we decided to take the Christmas decorations early…
The presents are waiting for Lovely Littlest to return from New Zealand
We still weren’t much cop for the rest of the week, but we did manage a few walks…
The weather has been incredibly wet for weeks, the ground is waterlogged and many paths have turned into rivers…
Of course the weather has been far harsher elsewhere in the world, but we did have a storm pass over on Tuesday Night. It blew a very small tree down in our garden…
The police car at the end of the drive is there because a bough fell from a tree and blocked the road through the village.
Unfortunately being unwell, I missed going to book group. One of the books we were discussing was The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I’ve attempted to read this book twice; once several years ago and this time around. Both times I’ve given up at about the same point. I’m not sure if it’s down to the translation, but I found it very cliched. I could also feel the author manoeuvring characters and the plot tends to move on through happenstance.
We also had a second book to read over Christmas, but I didn’t even open it, because the cover completely put me off…
And that, I’m afraid, was as exciting as my week got!
