Well we keep saying it but where are the weeks going to?  I find that no sooner have we started a new week on Monday it seems to be Sunday evening again and I honestly don’t know where that week has gone to!

Work has been really busy which I am greatful for, especially with all the uncertainty about at the moment with the political situation.  As you know I do not watch the news and am trying to avoid it at the moment as I think it really can make you very depressed.

We have had a few days where the temperatures were getting into the 90’s and that means that nothing gets done.  DH is lucky that if he is in the truck or the offices they are generally air conditioned, Coco and I just have to cope at home and our den where I work is at the back of our home where it gets the sun all day!  I do try and get things done early in the morning and then stop around lunch.  I did that today as it was Home jobs day so I got the cleaning done really early before it go too hot.  Coco has spent the day mostly outside or lying on the mat in the back door looking out at the garden.  

Over the last few days I have been feeling a little off.  I cannot decide if it is a bug, or the result of some tablets I am having to take at the moment!  I have felt a little better this afternoon.  I did manage to get all the home jobs done and tomorrow Miss Coco is having her Spa Day!  DH has a swimming event in the evening and then Saturday we are hoping to get some jobs done in the garden, because Sunday is the start of Carnival Week.  100 Years of Carnival so not only is the normal events on but a few extra ones too.  At the moment the week looks good weather wise.  DH is out most evenings and will be there all day from early a week on Saturday and then Sunday we are having a chill day!  

On my nice to do list I have managed to get the baby quilts made, quilted and am now sewing the binding down.  I still have the bed quilt to quilt but I will be tackling that over the next few weeks.  I have been keeping up with my reading aims this year and not only reading but also listening to audiobooks whilst working.  Some of the audiobooks have been successful and some not so much.  I will be reviewing a few tomorrow for Book Club Friday, which I know I am late with!  The Fridays fly past too!

During Carnival Week I am also determined to get my decluttering finished!  I have quite a lot of boxes in our garage to get through but by the time they are done, we just have the attic to do and then we will be decluttered!  

I had a wonderful Birthday with all the family last Friday and we had a takeaway. we even managed to sit outside for dinner which was lovely.  Little Man had a great time going up and down the garden and The Girls also enjoyed playing outside.   I had some lovely gifts :

These are a selection of the Hermes fragrance lines.  They are very light and definitely for summer.

DH bought me this lovely pouch which you can use when travelling for all sorts of things.

DH bought me some of my most favourite perfume, lotion and a new compact.

Also had a new mug from Eldest & Partner and some new oven gloves from Fortnum & Mason.

Youngest & Fiancé bought me this Porta Puzzle where you can put your puzzles in,  but then zip them up when not in use.  

I hope you lovely lot are having a good week and a terrific weekend to come. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco
