Friday Fragments

It is an understatement to say that my week has been bitsy.  I have put on my different personalities (Don't worry I am still whole) and varied attires on and off.

My husband was in Japan/Korea since very early on Sunday morning, which left me to do my mothering role on my own, I do not have a problem with him travelling, I have never minded being on my own. I love my husband but I acquired early on in our marriage the understanding that it is a myth that we had to do everything together. I actually like being on my own, I am still an only child after all. My youngest daughter fares less well, she finds it more difficult not to see her Dad and catch up with him in the evening.  The energy is different and the rhythm is more centered around her activities.

Worship service on Sunday morning was awesome.  And I had a busy afternoon meeting a lovely couple I am doing wedding photos for in July.  Exciting new projects...  Sunday night I went to a talk about "Keep Sunday Special".  The laws in Great Britain seem to more and more allow Sunday to pass as any other days in the week.  I love those talks at our church where the interactions are thoughtful and thoughts provoking.

Monday I went for a beautiful walk in the morning in the woods not far from where I live.  Spring is so much later this year because winter had been so much colder and harder than previous year.  I am enjoying looking at the blossoms and the warmer weather at the same time.

I also went to watch my daughter's last rounders match of the season, later on in the afternoon.  Her team came second.  Well done!

Tuesday I hold my regular Connect Group in the morning.
In blog land I participated in a Tuesday Tag-Along and met lovely bloggers and in the process have more followers.
Also my daughter has extra rehearsals to get ready for her show at the beginning of June in a new location, so a new routine was implemented to be carried out till the end of May.  And I received a "good news" phone call, my husband had had good meetings and was coming back earlier from Japan/Korea.

After a trip to the supermarket in the morning, to fill cupboards and fridge on Wednesday morning,

in the afternoon I went to my neighbour's funeral, an extremely talented watercolour painter and very kind gentle man.  You will be missed J.  I have always appreciated your steadiness and very helpful manner.  And as you would want life carries on...

Thursday I have been baking non stop:  I have made banana bread and fruit cakes, the banana bread recipe is already up and the fruit cake recipe will follow on Tasty Tuesday.  Since my oven was on the go I have cooked a delicious beef stew with barley.

That is for a very busy week.
I am looking forward to the extra day off work on Monday that we are enjoying in England as a Bank Holiday.
