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 …

      Is Thursday the new Sunday? I considered doing a double bill this coming Sunday as I’m so late with last weeks’ Sunday Sevens but I thought better of it and here I am. Monday and Tuesday were non-eventful – I worked.  Then Wednesday I met with a few of the Yorkshire Spoolettes in Halifax – separate post to come soon.  Thursday I had my first A team match (and won!) ……… the bluebells around the 10th green were in full bloom and smelt gorgeous too. I resisted steak pie and chips after golf as I was meeting some work buddies and going out for a Chinese in the evening.  We’ve decided that we’re going to have night out the first Thursday of the month and celebrate birthdays or just have a night out.  We had 4 birthdays last week, including David who was over from America who is mad into horses.  Look at this for a birthday cake! And here we all are……… I was driving at I’d arranged to attend a Atrial …

  Here’s my Sunday Sevens – a few photos from my last week, linking in with Natalie from Threads and Bobbins, and all the other lovely Sunday Seveners. A little bit late I’m afraid but I thought I’d best update my blog otherwise those of you who read regularly might think I’ve done a Shirley Valentine and stayed in Portugal! Here we are then, if even you thought golf was boring and didn’t fancy it, read on…. it might be a good walk spoilt to some but it’s also a great excuse to jump on a plane for some sunshine! The view from our apartment on the first morning……. the view from inside reception as we waited for our minibus to take us to the golf course. I won on the first day! The winner had to wear pink deely boppers for the whole evening and at breakfast the next morning.   I didn’t have to wear the doggy eye covers though! Helen sadly came last on the first day and had to wear the golf ball deely …

I’m being prepared and writing my Sunday Sevens on Friday night with a glass of wine.  I’m all packed up, except for my making bag and setting off to the airport at 5:30 in the morning.  So I’m hoping this scheduling lark will work and it’s Sunday when you’re reading this. The week started with our first works Golf Day, which also happened to be Captain’s Day.  For some crazy unknown reason I took no photos, which is really stupid as I’m captain so should at least have had one of me presenting the trophy to the winner. Tuesday was the high light of my week.  Already told you all about it but still worth another mention! Wednesday before work at 4pm I had my hair “done”! Bit of a lovely sunset going on Wednesday evening. I toyed with the idea or shortening some wide leg pants and love the result – hopefully will have a pic of them being worn for you next week. Had my nails done all sparkly ready for my hols. …

Hello! Hope you’ve all had a lovely week!  I’ve been crazy busy doing all sorts and not even had time to catch up on my blog reader at all.  I don’t think I’ve even caught up from last weekends Sunday Sevens.  Hopefully this week will be a little more sedate.   At the start of the week I met one of my lovely work buddies who left a couple of years ago.  I won’t say retired as she doesn’t seem old enough.  I met her in between the first and second coat of paint I was giving my mums downstairs loo!   And just for a change we went to Jeremy’s bar.  Chicken salad – and no pudding!!  I was thinking about my waistline as Portugal is only around the corner.   Just arriving at my mums for the second coat.  Luckily I’d put plenty of dust sheets down – I managed to catch the open tin of paint in mid flight but there was still enough on the floor to use for the second …

There’s no rules to Natalie’s Sunday Sevens!  Head over to Threads & Bobbins if you want to read more about it, and join in too! This week has been all action packed!  H has been to Austria skiing, I’ve walked/jogged 42 km in 7 days making a conscious effort to get out there at least 45 minutes a day, and the hubby’s been busy in the garden! Apologies for the next photo – it’s not mine, it’s an advert for my golf club.  But after organising the Spoolette trips I’ve been really surprised to find out just how many people read my blog who are almost on my doorstep.  So to those of you who aren’t so far away I thought you may be interested in this……  Free taster sessions and cheap golf for those who fancy trying it.  You don’t need clubs or golf shoes or anything. A visit to Jeremy’s bar again in Brighouse.  This time with Glennis, cyber-mum and MIL.  I really can’t think of anywhere with a better view. H skiing….. Earlier in the …

Hello and Happy Easter!  Hope you’ve all had a lovely week!  We’ve had some good news – the plans have been pleased for our house extension, so now all we have to do is find a builder!  I’ve just enjoyed a late breakfast of coffee and chocolate before heading off to work.  With a bit of luck your Easter Sunday will be more nutritious and you’ll have time to spend  with your loved ones. Natalie from Threads and Bobbins thought up the Sunday Sevens as a way of posting snippets of your week that maybe wouldn’t warrant a blog post all on their own.   As usual for me there’s one or two foodie photos! I really can’t help proper laughing every time I see this photo.  It was taken last Sunday evening whilst waiting to go into the hotel restaurant for dinner. I asked the hubby to take my photo, which he obviously did. We were sat in a beautiful quiet room with huge high ceilings. As he took the photo the anti red eye …

Another lovely week!  I am lucky – it even surprises me when I come to write my Sunday Sevens just what I manage to get up to in only 7 days! Click on the image below to head to Natalie’s blog – the creator of Sunday Sevens! On Monday after school H and I called into a kitchen and bathroom showroom to look for ideas for when we have our extension built.  Have you ever seen karaoke in the shower before!!?? Cherry and custard pizza….. scrummy! Made the amazing fit simplicity 1696 pants.  Can’t wait to show you these, but need some sunshine and a photographer! We did have an abundance of sunshine on Thursday for golf….. (cont below) I played at Bingley St Ives in between Bradford and Keighley.   It was a team event raising money for our local hospice.   Below is the 18th hole.  A par 3 where we have to hit over the road.  The road is only open to people and horses.  We had to wait until the riders passed …

Hello from a tropical part of the world – Yorkshire!  Temperatures are well into double figures (12 degrees C) and everyone is smiling, despite H loosing his football match 5-0. Here’s my Sunday Sevens – a few photos from my last week, linking in with Natalie from Threads and Bobbins, and all the other lovely Sunday Seveners. I started the week on my blog with a Vlog – egged on by one or 2 o you (you know who you are!).  I don’t think vlogging will be a regular feature here on my blog but I’m a sucker for trying anything once! 1  The few from the back of our local co-op where the car park is.  I popped in and was almost blinded as I parked my car.  Quick photo…. and when I came out of the shop the sun had disappeared, so I was lucky to catch it. 2  I didn’t get any running in this week but did manage 2 rounds of golf.  In winter we put the ball on a little plastic …
