Sunday 16th
No overtime available this weekend, so I came home and did a baking instead. Made a bakewell cake and topped it with an almond flavoured icing, coloured some of it blue and make a pattern on it.

Monday 17th
It has rained here, rained heavy along with high winds. Sadly most of the rain seems to hit the front of the house, and the living room windows have an issue with that. This is a common sight. New windows are on the cards this summer.

Tuesday 18th
Dropped into daughters on the way back. Bob was in the bath, so I sneaked in to get a photo of the day. He saw me coming and decided to turn his water pistol on me. Loved the way the flash lit up the water as it came to get me.

Wednesday 19th
Saw this parked outside the house. Took this from the upstairs window, it just appealed to me. Not the best picture of a black mini at night with the street light shining down.

Thursday 20th
Bob and I did some baking today. I had defrosted the freezer and found some blackberries we picked last year and decided to use some. Bob made a pear, banana and blackberry crumble and helped me make pear and blackberry pies. He prepared all the fruit, made his own crumble and added the filling to our pies.

Friday 21st
I drop Bob at toddlers on a Friday morning. I got Dinky out of her pram and sat her in the bouncy chair. She loves to watch what is going on. She had been at the doctors during the week as her eczema is getting bad. She now officially has moisturiser and steroids to help it. Wonder what other issues she may have once weaned.
The twins have both been started on baby rice this week, she loves it and sits with her mouth open and it cant be shovelled in quick enough. Minky is not quite as interested just yet.

Saturday 22nd
Using the last week of my work holidays and we went off today to meet with daughter No 2's future in laws. We met on neutral territory for a meal. This was mine, for some strange reason not a plate in sight. This is their steak burger with onion rings coleslaw and a portion of chips. Very nice it was too, as were the in-laws.

Love the water pistol shot, the light is just perfect! Liking the one of Bob cutting up fruit for the pie too, clever boy.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that meal has been salivating - looks delicious! Great shot of your grandson firing the water pistol - cheeky!
ReplyDeleteLove that car, almost looks like its a toy car doesn't it #365
ReplyDeleteFab Photos!!!.. The water pistol picture is great, I love how it captured all the specks of water, looks abit like mist... I could do with a car that totally illuminates bright green when in a carpark, I can never find it hehe x
ReplyDeleteI park mine somewhere obvious. the back wall, or at a sign with a letter on it, will go out of my way to park it somewhere I have a chance of finding it again.
DeleteWhat a wonderful post, so many great photos too. Tuesday and Thursday especially are fabulous although Dinky looks adorable watching what's going on :)
ReplyDeleteglad your daughters new in laws were nice although not so nice with your windows my lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI ought to follow your lead with the baking i just keep putting it off!
go for it Jaime, children love doing this sort of stuff, and dont be afraid of big sharp knives they do less damage than blunt ones.
DeleteNice looking meal, I like it when they present it on wooden slabs like this. Good capture with the water droplets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Project 365.
No hve to say I did not like the slab idea, imo food should be served on a plate.
DeleteThe water photo is brilliant :) x
ReplyDeleteLove the water pistol shot, amazing capture :)
ReplyDeleteLiking the look of that burger and chips. Love the idea of colouring the icing for your bakewell blue too.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of you being shot with a water pistol. Hope your windows get sorted soon!
ReplyDeleteWe have a window that leaks if we have heavy rain and the wind is blowing in the right direction. Mmmm the burger and chips looks soooo yummy! Have a lovely week x #project365
ReplyDeleteThe Bakewell tart cake sounds perfect - I love almonds! The water spray shot is a great snap :)

ReplyDeleteThat meal of yours looks tasty Elaine! I'm loving the bath shot too. Were you very wet?! Lol! #Project365
ReplyDeletethankfully he did not have a huge amount of water in the water pistol.....wee monkey, but it did make a great picture. I retreated and dried off my camera
DeleteThat water pistol shot is brilliant and your meal looks delicious, Glad it all went well with the future in-laws :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Susie, maybe we are just of the wrong generation as my daughter tells me that its quite normal. Or maybe I just dont eat out in the right places very often
ReplyDeleteThey were great company, and really nice people.
