Or the weekend, I forgot to take any photos until Sunday!

Friday night was the usual, Friday Night pizza, a G&T and sitting in my lovely tidy living room.

Saturday was a quiet day, I spoke to Ma in the morning, before she went off for her weekend with ‘the ladies’ minus Norma (the one that lives in Scotland) and spent the rest of the morning doing very little except reading and painting my nails. Saturday afternoon, I spent with godchildren 2 and 3 (Helene and Luc) to discuss their last holiday reading book and catch up on Easter holiday happenings.

This Saturday was a Grace day and it’s been far too long since I’ve been to Grace or spent anytime with the people in Grace. The service was called ‘The Story 2.0’ and the theme was the Road to Emmaus and how Jesus rewrites our story, or at least what we think our story is. I also got to catch up with everyone, Jen is off to Bethlehem to run a marathon for the Amos Trust (when I’m a grown up, I want to be just like Jen!), Jonny is back from a week’s silent retreat with monks and has been to more RC masses (eight!) in a week than I’ve managed in about 3 years, Kathy and Adam decided to garden in the rain!, Lincoln and Isabella are growing fast and it was just lovely to pick up threads that I’d put down because of the sick.

Sunday was a beautiful spring day. Finally! I went for a ‘run’, shopped and did prep for the week, I really hate ironing and cleaning floors!

I ended the weekend with dinner (lamb shanks, mashed cauliflower and peas) and wrote this post, caught up with Dr Who and listened to Russell Davies and then it was time for bed and week ahead.

Aims for this week, work hard, go to the gym, do well at team ping pong on Friday evening and help Adam celebrate his birthday, try to avoid the seemingly ever present Margaret Thatcher coverage (seriously, hearing her speaking on the radio is giving me the heebie jeebies – I’m turning into a wreck). I will also be spending some time dreaming of Middleham and Amble because it’s only two more weeks until I’m there!
