What a lovely weekend this has been! A weekend of good news, sorting, buying and eating. Just about perfect. A weekend for being inside, cos baby it was cold outside. Was it just last weekend it was so mild I had the windows wide open?
1. On Friday Myles had news from Corpus Christi, Oxford. He had an interview there in December and it was a long wait to find out if he got in. He did! Now it is a small matter of 3 A grades at A level. He is going to study PPE and I know that he is going to be brilliant.
2. A new lampshade for the dining room. It was a long search and much stroking of this one. However Iapetus had a bit of a sale, we had built up loyalty points and suddenly our vows to SPEND NOTHING this month were broken. My children think I'm weird but that skeleton makes me smile...
3. Shadows this morning. Am obsessed with shadows at the minute; you're just going to have to put up with it.
4. We are rearranging our music this weekend. We have recently bought new Hi-Fi components and are on the look out for a turntable. We are also sorting through the vinyl and CDs, (there are hundreds) and getting rid of the ones we do not listen to. Mark is going to struggle with this more than me.
5. & 6. There have been germs in this house this week. Some were of the type that you do not want to know about. I am looking to boost our immune systems with lots of vegetables and fruit. A bit of ice cream to use up some ageing oranges and lemons counts doesn't it? Those oranges have reminded me, I need to get cracking on the marmalade making.
Hope you all had good weekends too - and wishing us a safe, calm week. Wrap up warm; 'Countryfile' told me that it is going to be a chilly one!
I am trying not to be jealous that you have produced Oxford material -twice! George has had one offer of 2 Bs and a C from Hull to read physics. I think he will be very lucky to get Bs -sigh. Big congratulations to Myles!
ReplyDeleteI promise that no one is more amazed than me - they have had the good luck to inherit their father's capacity to do exams...
DeleteWow that is great new for Myles! You must be so proud!!! Love the lamp too hon.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab week,

Lovely news Karen and well done to Myles. We're waiting to hear about uni offers too - worse than childbirth this whole exam business! Might try marmalade making this year - I keep missing the marmalade window. Keep warm xo
ReplyDeleteWell done to Myles! Well done to you too, for supporting him! :) x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend Karen. That is great news for Myles, you must be so pleased. Love the new lampshade. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat great news that is! And a lovely shade you have there too!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news, wow, so hearty congratulations to the brainy boy!
ReplyDeleteKeep warm Karen, it's so icy here it's actually dangerous being outside at the moment. x
I love that you've made ice cream while it has been freezing and snowing! Love the lampshade - and what good oxford news!x
