Come join Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday
The weather.....
We've had a nice few days. On Friday I spent time with my mum sat in her garden! It was lovely to feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
As I look outside my window...
It's cloudy but bright. I've just walked to meet with B after her shift at an animal shelter that she volunteers at. I'm absolutely shattered. I've been taken off HRT for a while while I have some health tests run and it's really messed with my sleep. I am struggling to get to sleep before 4am. So getting out in the natural light and fresh air is good. I've also started couch to 5K on the NHS app...my legs are sore!

| Lovely oak tree - isn't he handsome? |

| I don’t know what lies around the bend [in the road], but I’m going to believe that the best does - Anne of Green Gables |
Right now I am....
Listening to the tumble dryer - too tired to faff with washing today lol. B chatting to me as I type.
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip)...
The Merlin bird app is fun, totally recommend. As soon as you hear bird song set it to listen and it will tell you which birds are around. Today on my walk I listened to skylarks, blue tits and robins. Robins have a very pretty birdsong.
Thinking and pondering...
Not being able to sleep!
On my reading pile....
Just finished Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. Next read is From Venice with Love by Rosanna Ley. I've never read this author before but the book cover looked very summery so I picked it up at the library.
On my TV.....
Just watched episode 7 of season 2 Severance! INTRIGUING!! We watched some old Malcolm in the Middle this weekend. A film called Elevation, which was fun. Still working through Modern Family too.
Listening to....
The tumble dryer. I listened to a running playlist on Spotify yesterday - full of thumping good tunes :). I'm quite enjoying The Temperance Movement band at the moment (British blues/rock band).
On the menu for this week....
Monday: Pasta with tomato sauce, parmasan and some bacon that needs using up.
Tuesday: Lentil coconut curry
Wednesday: Tofu with something... lol I'm not very planned this week.
Thursday: Turkey pasta
Friday: Pizza night
Saturday: dunno
Sunday: dunno
On my to do list....
I literally have no energy due to lack of sleep. But I've put a load of washing on. Cleaned out Coco's litter trays. Done a quick clean of the sink and toilet in the bathroom. I need to do our weekly shop and I'm going to pop over to mum and dad's for a brew as a letter has come from mum's consultant that dad wants me to look at. Main item on list: SLEEP!!
Happening this week....
Not a lot to be honest. We had a lovely weekend. After a library visit we went out for the afternoon with L & B as L was visiting from uni on Saturday - always lovely to see her. Sunday we had a chilled day at home. Tuesday I have a docs appointment. I usually do mum and dad's cleaning on a Thursday. Next weekend we have a 50th birthday party to go. But that's about it... I think.
My simple pleasure....
Playing with Coco, she has a couple of mad half hours during the day. We have laminate floor down in the hallway and when she's running on that it's like she's in a cartoon running on the spot haha. She loves to chase an old ribbon - all the expensive cat toys we've bought and she prefers an old ribbon 😂
Lesson learned the past week....
How much I love sleep!! I may have mentioned my recent sleep issue already a million times haha.
Looking around the house....
Just a bit of tidying. The kitchen needs sorting and the dishwasher emptying, but otherwise it's not too bad.
From the camera....

On my prayer list.....
Mum and dad and mum's health issues. For me not to be awake until 4am!
Bible verse, Devotional....
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14
