What a week! It was a good job I only had to work 1 shift, and I had to swap that as it clashed with one of the 3 games of golf I had to play. It was quite a week for cyber mom too.  She had difficulty breathing at 3am one morning so dad rushed her to A&E – didn’t like to ring 999 despite both daughters being paramedics!!! She wasn’t sure if it was a real emergency! After a 2 night stay they diagnosed her with asthma and she’s got some inhalers and whatavyer, and is back firing on all cylinders.  Phew! As well as golf I also had a day out in Birmingham when I attended Sewbrum No 3 which was just the best day ever – separate blog post with lots of pics to follow! About the golf.  3 games and a bridesmaid every time.  Monday I played in the final of the mixed knockout and we lost 😦  Tuesday I came 2nd in the ladies weekly competition 😦   And Thursday is …

I’ve just been looking back through my Sunday Sevens folder of photos on my Mac, going back to the beginning when I started in March ’15.  I think it’s one of the best things I ever did – joining in Natalie’s Sunday Sevens.  It’s the diary I would always liked to have kept, but wouldn’t have kept up to.  All the photos remind my of little moments which would otherwise have been forgotten. Last week started with our final Works Golf Society outing of the years.  The fellas tend to hit the ball further but a bit wilder than the ladies so a lot of time is spent looking for balls.  On a positive note the blackberries were ripe so when we deviated from the fairway I was able to pick and eat them. This is an old pic of my car (from a previous SS post).  My car went in for it’s MOT and I’ve not seen it since.  It’s 14 years old and failed miserably.  It’s been sold and I’m in the process of …

Oops a bit late!  The weekend was a bit hectic and yesterday I was in bed for 7pm so finally finding time to share my antics of last weeks. There’s not much variety this week. I played a lot of golf (4 rounds!) so not much time for anything else on those days. Monday was our Lady Captains Trip.  We didn’t venture far, only to Bradford Golf club which is a fantastic course who looked after us and fed us very well.   My team came a close 2nd and we each won a lovely toiletries bag with 2 other matching smaller zipper bags.   In golf if you have the same score as another person or team the one with the best back 9 wins.  Unfortunately we didn’t have the best back 9. Tuesday more golf.  H joined in the ladies comp. Ripped out the naff zip on my dress and added an invisible one, thinking I was going to be wearing it for the races on Thursday. Wednesday – more golf.  H bet me for …

Hello! Hope you’ve all had a lovely week and the weather’s been kind to you wherever you are.  I really don’t know how I did what I did last week.   There’s no way in a month of Sundays than I could narrow it down to just 7 photos for you – so what’s new! Natalie from Threads and Bobbins thought up the Sunday Sevens nearly 2 years ago as a way of posting snippets of your week that maybe wouldn’t warrant a blog post all on their own.  You don’t have to sign your life away to join in – just jump in and out as you please – or go for the long haul like me. Monday I got stuck into making my Belize shorts as a fitting lesson for making the skort. I spent all day and night sewing. It was ace! I made the shorts and almost finished the skort too. Here’s a tip if for any reason you need to stop sewing, for example when sewing the waistbank on the belize …

A Sunday Sevens Double Bill, on time if you count this one as this weeks and not last weeks, ……..my Sunday Sevens as thought up by the lovely Natalie over at Threads and Bobbins…..   1.  Watching Yorkshire play cricket at Headingley, Leeds. This should have been in my last Sunday sevens post but it got missed.  The sky was too amazing to not share it with you.  I’ve not edited this pic at all, but I think the spot lights have cause a bit of havoc with exposure.  1. Pokemon even at the golf club!  2.  Time for me to touch up cyber mims roots.  Can’t imagine why she was camera shy!  3.   Last year the cricket club was turned into a cafe through the week and it’s a lovely place for lunch, with scrummy homemade cakes.  4. This last academic year I’ve been a  mentor to a first year student paramedic. Here’s Matt on his last shift with me. Next year he’ll be stationed elsewhere – all the best Matt!  5.  Saturday 30th …

It’s a good job there’s no hard and fast rules with Natalie’s Sunday Sevens as I think I’d have well and truly broken them in the last month.  If you want to share snippets of what goes on outside the sewing room, join in too!  Head over to Nat’s blog or her Pinterest Board to see what it’s all about. After being late off and coming home from work starving I whipped up a quick tea – leftover veg, beans and dry fried eggs.  Not everyones cup of tea, but did the trick! Rory’s found a new bed….. Standing by in Salterhebble, Halifax…. I was a bit disappointed with this pic taken at Meltham Golf Club – I was hitting onto the green (where the yellow flag in) and behind it it drops away to a river – a scary shot!  it doesn’t look quite as dramatic here. I finally finished off  my first proper quilt….. it went everywhere with me for about a week until I finished hand stitching the binding. My dad had a …

Or so I’m hoping.   What’s normal though!?  Posting my Sunday Sevens on a Sunday wouldn’t be normal for me! Well anyway, here’s a final catchup, a sort of extended Sunday Sevens and then I’m hoping to get some order into my life blog.  So without any more waffling on or excuses….. H had his annual football (soccer) presentation night.  It’s a big event and the kids range from 6 to 18.   Each year they hire out the Frontier Nightclub in Batley, more famously in the past known as the Batley Variety Club where Shirley Bassey and the Jackson Five and loads of other famous people performed back in the day! You can tell H was mortified that I’d snook up to take his photo.  He won the award for “players’ player”, voted by him fellow team mates.  #proudmum! Topped up the tan wearing my bikini whilst doing the ironing. Harrison had his birthday.  Alfie his cousin made him a birthday cake.  (that’s not his cousin in the pic tho!) Me & my sis’ One of H’s …

Slightly earlier than last week’s Sunday Sevens but only just! I spotted this lady whilst doing a road side stand by at work.  It’s not  just me that has busy days – at least i usually have time to get dressed before I go out!!  I think the onesie craze changed everyone’s view of night wear and it’s seen out and about more and more! H had a problem with his foot, but luckily big H (my H is little H – or was!!) loves manky feet and had him walking on fresh air in no time!  (it’s my sister if anyone’s local and is in need of any foot care, or just a tidy up ready for summer). Sometimes I just can’t help taking snaps of a suddenly unexpected views – another one from Happy Valley. And here’s something else unexpected which made me chuckle, this time in Huddersfield – you can just about make the sign out in the bottom right hand window. The weekend was I think my busiest ever.  We had an …
