It's been a week of little moments.
Before we all went on a mini bushwalk together.
I really am so very fortunate to have the friends that I do. The memories we share, the experiences they coax me into sharing.
Retro has been the theme in the humble SSG Manor 2.0 kitchen. Apricot Chicken is the ultimate oldie that's very much a goodie.
You know how I've been bumbling along at home on my knitting looms? I got to wear one of my scarves to work this week. A loud and proud lover of carbs, the stitch was. of course, the brioche.
I can't help with how to make glued flaps stay stuck down, though. This mum went hard and taped them all down.
These are our car park stairs. I'm actually quite attached to them. I bound down them on arriving to work each morning - keen to get a start on things and full of energy and purpose. It's often quite different in the afternoons. In a good way. The working day is done and so am I. The upward climb, though tiring, helps me switch from work to home and mum mode.
And there we have it. The week that was.
I have got right back into jigsaws too. I have 2, 1000 piece puzzles to tackle and I fear I may have taken on too much! I might make some scones too now that my oven is fixed. Thanks for the inspo.
ReplyDeleteOh bushwalk sounds nice. I feel like I'm low on nature even though I was walking by the ocean this morning!
ReplyDeletelife is always better with tea and scones...
ReplyDeleteCream tea for breakfast? Yes please! I've never really got on the jigsaw puzzle craze either, but that flags of the world one does look fun. And apricot chicken has recently been revived in my household too!
ReplyDeleteTim tams with tea sounds perfect. I've definitely been drinking more cups of tea these days though mine are mainly herbal teas. Great work on the jigsaw puzzle - I like puzzles but didn't bother with any during this period. Have a lovely week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHi SSG - apricot chicken brought back some childhood memories - and I loved the jammy breakfast boost. And that jigsaw! Wow and well done :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since we have attempted a jigsaw. Nice to see the children out and having some fun again. My friends and coffee dates was what I missed most in the 'stay at home' call.
ReplyDeleteOh those carpark stairs...yet to return to Westmead car park but know eventually I will be back.
ReplyDeleteGood on the boys getting out together. I have never made Apricot Chicken..maybe time to do so as I am looking for new recipes for me...
