Life This Week 15/6/2020: The Week That Was.


It’s been a week of little moments.

We attempted and conquered our first 500 piece jigsaw together.  After all that time thinking I wasn’t a jigsaw kind of person.  Taking advantage of the momentum, there’s another puzzle coming our way via Amazon this week.

These four got together for a natter and some scooter racing.

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.

You know when life gets a bit nuts and the only thing that will fix your sleep deficit is a slap-up cream tea?  For breakfast.  It worked.

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.

In school mum news, it was make some prisms at home week.  Did you ever learn this trick when you were at school?  Scoring the fold lines on your shape net with one arm of your scissors and the edge of a ruler gives you a sharp fold every time.  

I can’t help with how to make glued flaps stay stuck down, though.  This mum went hard and taped them all down.

Meanwhile at the coalface.  Winter has Arrived.  This week, all those steps taken and flights of stairs climbed have been fuelled by sugared tea (I never drink my tea with sugar at home but needs must) and Tim Tams.  I have my kind resident to thank for the Tim Tams.

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.
