A mixed bag of a week

Wednesday Weekly

I ended last week (Sunday Evening) on a walk up on the Poldens. 

With the nicer weather, I'm trying to get out for a walk after tea, even if it's just once around the block. It was too nice an evening not to take advantage of, and get out for a longer walk.

I'd given myself Bank Holiday Monday off, Jeff still had to work!!

As it was dry, I headed over to ham Wall, as it's been a while.

I managed to get this capture. 

Sadly the two kingfishers I spotted were far too fast to capture. 

I did hear a cuckoo too

It's so good for me to get outside for a walk.

I feel the weight of the world lift off my shoulders and I feel so calm and content.

I always feel so restrained by work and not being able to get out and make the most of any dry weather, particularly at this time of year. 

I had a short exam on Thursday afternoon, so popped over to Sainsbury's to collect my Argos order. A few bits and pieces for Sam's new flat. Glad I'd amassed a few Nectar points to spread the cost!

And then on Saturday we headed to IKEA bright and early! 

It was a successful trip!

Bed frame and mattress were top of the 'must buy' list. 

I shouldn't of laid down!!

It was a cheap trip for me, just coffee and a muffin!

Sam on the other hand is mourning the dwindling of his funds! 

The joys of being an independent young adult!!

He has a delivery booked in for next Saturday and then a few days of putting it all together!

He went out to friends in the evening and Jeff and I got to enjoy tea out in the garden. 

Always feels like such a treat x

I then sat out the front, enjoying the last of the sun, whilst Jeff prepared the front planters... 

....ready for planting out the geraniums today.

Sadly we're not planting out sunflowers this year, even though it's our 30th Wedding Anniversary. We'll be away for too long, when they need a little care and attention, so it will look a little different this summer. I wonder if anyone will notice!

This week marked the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. 

This mural has been done in Bristol in his honour. I must go and see it! 

I can always go and see Sam too once he's all settled in.

So we go into week four of exams, slightly more pressure as these are 'real' exams now, rather than mocks. I am doing 7 out of 10 available slots. I'm hoping to get a walk with Sam before he moves out and I have a couple of coffee catch-ups booked in with friends. Then I think Jeff and I are booked in to help build Ikea furniture on Sunday! So another busy week ahead.
