There are a lot of food photos this week aren't there??
Having finally got rid of my cold (YAY!!) I'm feeling like a new person! I celebrated with a relaxing bath and pamper session with my new Elemis goodies which I mentioned in my Round Up post a couple of weeks ago. I'd neglected myself a bit whilst I was ill, I was just too tired and achey to bother doing anything that wasn't absolutely necessary, I knew I looked a wreck but I didn't really care!
Big news this week is that one of our three Buff Orpington chickens has decided that it's a boy. It's a bit late bearing in mind that they are nine months old now and it's weird that it's never crowed once and doesn't have much of a comb. But it's definitely a boy. I've caught it getting fruity with the bantam hens, the little devil. So I've floated the idea of getting rid of all three Buffs or just eating the cockerel (!) but Matt's not 100% on board with either idea so we'll see what happens ...
Speaking of chickens, Wilson has been in the bad books this week. I called him in the other day and he didn't appear, I called him a few more times and tried to stay calm - I knew he wouldn't have wandered off (the dogs don't leave the garden even when all the gates are open) and I knew he hadn't been stolen (no one can get near the house without the dogs going crazy at them) so ... where on earth was he? I went out to explore and found him in the shed, eating freshly laid eggs!! The little sod!! He had the telling-off of his life and hasn't set paw near the shed since. Let's hope it stays that way!
I had my hair cut and coloured this week and feel so much better for it. I'd been putting it off because I wasn't sure what colour to go for but my grey roots had got so bad that I had to commit to something! So I went for a dark brown again and I'm really happy with it. The worst of the damaged bits are gone now and the rest of it looks shinier and healthier than it's been in ages :)
This weekend I'll be attacking the painting at the new house again, I'm feeling really positive about it at the moment. I'll be studying my heaps of interiors magazines and books to get ideas for bathroom decor, it's harder than you might imagine. I might have a peek at the websites of our favourite hotels for inspiration too, I need all the help I can get
We'll be chowing down on pizza with my sister, brother in law and nephew tomorrow night, I'm looking forward to seeing them all. We haven't all been together since Christmas so it will be good to catch up
What do you have planned for the weekend?
Hooray for feeling better! Glad your cold's gone, they are a nuisance! I find it so relaxing looking through interior magazines, I love bathrooms with mixes of white and natural wood, maybe a duck egg blue and some wicker storage! xx
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I love duck egg blue xx
DeleteStop eating your children! haha. Loved this post, your weekly round ups always put a smile on my face. A bathroom based on a hotel sounds perfect, I plan to base my future bathroom AND bedroom on my favourite hotels xx
ReplyDeleteHaha! I've been saying they look delicious for months! I'm basing our bedroom n a hotel room too, I'm so unimaginative! But I guess these places pay interior designers so we don't have to, right?? xx
DeleteI adore getting my hair cut - it always feels like a brand new me by the end!! :) And I hope to do a bit of painting this weekend too!! I've had a bit of a cold that past day or two so I hope that goes away soon!! Have a wonderful day Rachael!! xo
ReplyDeleteI knw what you mean, it's a great feeling! Hope you're feeling better soon, enjoy your painting :) xx

DeleteOh God I lurve Jamesons Ruffles and Haribos tangtastics! You have made me rather peckish now ;) I shall be finishing an essay and filling in some job applications this weekend, there are many other things I would rather be doing but needs must. Have a good one :)
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound much fun. Maybe you should get some Ruffles to help things along? xx
DeleteAs ever Rachael, I love these posts! I have a week of work next week, so my weekend will be spent relaxing and dreaming of all the things I might buy on my trip to London next week! x

Interior design magazines always inspire me when I want to rearrange my home! Too bad I'm such a disorganized person! Good luck with it!
