Attempting To Be A Domestic Goddess: Roy North

Coffee isn't my cup of tea - Samuel Goldwyn

Welcome to my Tuesday 🎕

Hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Got my kids up ready for school.

Gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he went off to work.

Gave my kids 💋💋 before they left for school.

I emptied the dishwasher and loaded it back up.

Tidied up the kitchen.

I went outside for some fresh air.

Followed by a much needed cup of coffee.

I needed to get out of this house for half an hour.

So I went to see my parents.

My other brothers hadn't been up to leave any flowers for Mother's Day.

(Not surprised really!)

I tidied up the grave.

I had a quick chat with them.

I went past my late dad's house.

Yellow and blue cars now parked on the drive as well as my brother's limo and his wife's car.

Where is he going to park them all when the house has been sold?

I gets back home.

Time for a little play with Henry.

Now to look in my buttons collection for my son's suit jacket.

Got the buttons sown on.

Time to write yesterday's blog post.

Once published.

Lunchtime.

Then I made a beef stew with dumplings for tea.

In the oven ready to put on.

Tea at 3.

Then I started to have a sort out of things that are under the sideboard in the living room.

Once the Droitwich Lions start up again, I have loads of books from my late dad's house to give them.

More big sorting out tomorrow as well.

Hubby comes home.

I give him a big sloppy 💋

He gives me the newspaper.
