So firstly, my apologies for being utterly cack at keeping up with this mini series. Life just gets so busy. Still at least having such a break allows me a plethora of small but wonderful things to choose from! Here are a few of my favourites:
• My daughter crawling to me when I ask her. At first I thought this was a fluke but over the past week it has become a daily occurance. It's just the best feeling to watch her wobbly crawls towards me whilst she beams at me with her dribbly giggly smile.
• Getting out into the garden. I have one of the most overlooked gardens in the world (seriously) but I love getting out into the garden and having a potter. Being a bit of a fairweather gardener has meant that I've been lapping up the dry and slightly sunny weather and spent time planting roses, a lilac, some irises, alstromeria and a few other goodies. I've been deadheading my gorgeous roses and weaving honeysuckle, passion flower and clematis onto my new trellises. It's one of my favourite hobbies as I can completely detach myself from the stresses of life and just be.
• Free dental care whilst on maternity leave. I don't particularly enjoy visiting the dentist, (although I do find it amusing to listen to her and the dental nurse answering the radio 2 quiz whilst I'm sat in the chair) but I have been fortunate to be able to coincide some expensive dental treatment with maternity leave which means its free! Wahoo, I don't have to pay to be terrified and in pain!
• New clothes. With lent over and the pregnancy weight slowly coming off (about half a stone so far) I have delighted in buying myself some new clothes and taking full advantage of the spring sales :-)
• The slow cooker. A brilliant invention that allows me to chuck a load of meat and veg into a pot, bathe it in red wine and herbs and create a delicious and low fat dinner that looks like I've made loads of effort when I really haven't :-)
Any small but wonderful things happened to you this week?
