Well Wimbledon is over for another year and to be honest I did not watch as much as I normally do.  The Women’s draw I had no idea who most of the players were and had never heard of the two finalists.  I was actually out when they played their final.  I did see the Men’s final yesterday, a repeat of last year, and also the same winner, Alcaraz.  It was not the most thrilling of matches to watch.  I also got a little fed up this year that the reports of Wimbledon were more interested in who was attending and what they were wearing rather than the tennis!  I despair sometimes at the media’s attention of so called celebs!  It was great to see The Princess of Wales there though.

We don’t watch or follow Football but England lost in the final of the European Cup to Spain, so Spain had two celebrations yesterday!

DH and The Boys were at Goodwood Festival of Speed over the weekend and the event was on this year, after the high winds last year meant it was cancelled.  This is when they arrived first thing in the morning waiting for breakfast!

Partner, Girlfriend and I had a lovely evening together on Saturday, with Little Man of course.  I decided rather than getting a Takeaway I would have a go at making some Chinese dishes.  I made Chicken Chow Mein. spicey beef, sweet & sour chicken with rice.  It was good but I have respect for Chinese takeaways every where that produce all these meals in ten minutes when it took me about four hours to make all the dishes!!  Next time we will have a Takeaway!

The Boys got back about 1.00pm on Sunday and we got a few jobs done and then had an early dinner and went to bed as we were all shattered!!! 

This week is a quiet week work wise.  Jayne and I are going for lunch to a new pub tomorrow and then we have friends coming for dinner on Saturday night.  This weekend and next DH is not at any swimming events so we can get a few jobs done and also have a couple of days off too.  I am hoping that the weather is going to be nice so we can do a bit of gardening and also have some time to sit outside.  The weather this summer has been awful, with quite a bit of rain and cloudy cool days and it looks like it is going to be like this for the rest of the summer.  We are away soon on vacation and although it is great to have sun and lovely weather, I am not that bothered I just want to be away for two weeks from work!  Youngest & Girlfriend unfortunately are not able to come up and see us but they will be home sitting for us and looking after little Coco.

Now I have my sewing set up in Eldest’s Room I won’t be taking that with me but I will be taking lots of books to read.  It will be great as I won’t get too many interruptions!  I will show you the books I am going to take with me and also do Book Club Friday this coming week, it was a little busy last Friday!

Have a lovely week. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

As DH was not here for two nights, Madam made use of his side of the bed!
