Breaking My Stride

“I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.”
Albert Einstein

Woo hoo the weekend is here, finally!

 I just caught the last 40 minutes of "The Sounds of the 60s".

We all got up, dressed.

All ready to face the world!

 We parks in Car Park 4.

The views...↓

 We got what we needed from the shops.

Coffee and read in the Library↓

 I got some bargain price curtains from one of the charity shops from town.

They covered 4 windows for £12

 

 We then did our food shopping.

We picked our favourite tea bags for £5!

 While my oldest son was tidying his bedroom.

He discovered his youngest brother's hat he used to wear. :)

Ready,Willing & Able....

Welcome to my hump of the week!

I decided to give the walk around the running track a miss this week..

Instead I was going for a walk around the lake with my kids...

Nice to have some coffee and toast...

I did some job hunting.

Applied for two jobs.

Lots of copying and pasting my qualifications from one application form to another.... 

Off to see my dad in the Sexy Beast.

 

 

  Big big sunglasses back on...

Saw my dad for a bit.

Back home for a light lunch before our walk.

 Dark clouds coming over..

Fingers crossed it's not going to rain..

 

 Waits around for the people to walk around the lake with. By 1pm no one appeared, so we started to walk as a trio.

 Those dark clouds are coming nearer.

 Smoke coming off my trainers...

 The clouds coming nearer...

 Finished!

 Gets home before the rain starts...

Comes back from Job with some tubes for our Gerbils...

 

 Enjoyed a ice lolly...↓↓
