This week hasn’t been too bad and quite enjoyable for me as
there were fun things to do. Monday was the Craft club at the WI I go to. I
will admit that there are times the project the group is doing does not appeal
to me so I always take a little project of my own that I can work on. This
session though was felt brooch making so I thought I would join in. I had an
idea of the design but then when I saw an earring that could be used for the
centrepiece I completely changed my mind on the whole design. The brooch was
simple to make as it just involved cutting out the felt, sewing the brooch
fastener on the back piece then because the black piece had a sticky back I
just peeled the backing off and stuck it down. The next piece and the centre
piece were then glued. The little sheep brooch I did cheat with as it was
already made up so all I had to do was sew the brooch fastener on.
We got Matthews SATs results on Tuesday and he passed them
all so as a reward we went to Krispy Kreme and then to see Despicable Me 3 at
the cinema. I love the Minions and because of that I enjoyed the film.
Wednesday was another trip to the cinema (a bit further away
from home). This time it was to see ‘Spiderman-Homecoming’. I definitely
thought it was the best Spiderman film I have seen and what made it even more
enjoyable was the fact that the cinema screen had recently been refurbished and
all the seats were recliners with little movable trays for you to put your
snacks on. I will definitely be going to that cinema again especially if all
the screens are going to be refurbished.
On Thursday I had to catch up with the ironing and make
chocolate brownies for the Wimbledon lunch we were having on Friday at work.
Unfortunately I didn’t get round to making the brownies until 9.30pm as Craig
had asked the local councillor to visit to see the trees that we would like to
be cut back as they are getting too big and we have had a few branches fall and
break the shed roof. She is going to see what can be done and is going to push
to get the whole area cleared and turfed as it is a little bit further down the
street. That would be brilliant and look so much better.
The Wimbledon lunch did not take place as planned as I was
the only person who brought anything in so it was business as usual. Friday
evening I was feeling pretty tired so we just watched The Fast and Furious which I wasn’t overly
interested in.
My plans for Saturday did not come off completely as I
wanted to do a Zone clean in the back and front rooms but as usual Craig had
other ideas so they did not get done. I did manage to order the food shopping
to be picked up on Sunday however so that I didn’t have to worry about not
having time to get that done.
On Sunday we took Emma to get her own DSLR camera which she
is paying for out of the money that she has saved. We ended up with a really
good deal even though it ended up costing us more than we anticipated. Craig
has this habit of wanting to get everything all at once when it comes to
gadgets so she has 3 lenses, 2 camera filters and the accessories bundle that
you get for ½ price if you purchase it with the camera.
Craig and I then had a canal cruise along the Bridgewater
Canal and Manchester Ship Canal from
Castlefield to Salford Quays. It was a very pleasant meal but I have to admit
if I was to do a canal cruise again I would go somewhere more scenic as we saw
mainly graffiti and brick walls.
So all in all a pretty enjoyable week with lots of fun
things but I do need to spend the rest of the month catching up with housework
and doing some zone cleaning so that I can stay calm and happy.
