Here is one of the tickets I got through the post yesterday, won them from a competition. They are for Thursday night, we will see what the weather is like before we decide if we are going or not.
Monday
After our bedroom move round last weekend, the next easiest room to put back together was the now spare room,this is the room the children used but as the spare room is used weekends more often than not then it made sense not to just swap it with the one we had been in. We bought a new bed for it as the other was a king size and too big for the room.
Daughter No1 had phoned just after 7pm to ask if she could come round. Both the twins had been unsettled most of the day and she wanted out for a while.She brought the twins with her, granddad and I got to cuddle them and they were as good as gold. I like the smile on Dinky's face, she was being so cute.

Tuesday
With the bedroom move going on hubby was trying to create space in the loft for some of the stuff out the cupboards while he was the paint drying in what is now the children's room. He found this in the loft.

Wednesday
I had been in the town and on the way home I had seen a bright rainbow. I just had to pull the car over and photograph it.This picture was taken through the windscreen. The streaks on the window had not been visible through my sun glasses else I would have cleaned the window before I took the picture.

Thursday
We used the tickets (Sunday's picture) that I won as the weather was dry at the time we were in Glasgow. It was a lighting display and this was a light pattern running uphill. Was impossible to get it without people on it as it was just far too busy. The wee boy had seen me with a camera, and so went and posed for me.
Have done a blog post on it if you want to see some more pictures.Have to say the coloured waterfall was amazing.

Friday
I got a wem on Wednesday to tell me I had won a £20 Valentines Dine In meal. Had to pick what I wanted in M&S and then give them a code at the till. I chose the steaks and rosti potatoes as our main course and added some veg to go with them, The whole meal was very nice.

Saturday
Doing a double shift today, so I went out to the car to bring in my notebook that I use to amuse myself in the two hour break between my shift and the overtime shift. Saw these so called evergreen trees at the side of the car park looking decidedly sorry for them selves.

ReplyDeleteLucy week with the ticket and dinner! The twins look too adorable (oh makes me think of my two when they were wee little things)
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow is stunning, and the lighting display looks just amazing. #project365
ReplyDeleteWhat a great rainbow capture! The twins look very sweet. Never knew at all about the lights at Rouken Glen..so upset to be missing out!
ReplyDeletesure they will be back next year, but get in quick as they soon sell out. Think they said 6000 tickets over the 10 days it was on
DeleteWas that butterfly live? Amazing colouring on the wings. The twins are looking so grown-up now, and I'm pleased you get to seem them so often because I know there was a stage last year when you weren't seeing Bob and Fifi so much. Great win, the light show looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Project 365.
yes it was alive, had to warm it up to get it to open its wings.
DeleteThe twins look cosy on teh bed and your dinner looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove the last picture it looks very calm and peaceful

ReplyDeleteHow good does that butterfly photo look! How cute also are the twins testing out the bed. They look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that fractious children become well behaved for grandparents. Perhaps they pick up on a calmer mood.
