There have been some wonderful moments shared with family this last week. In between the routine of work and chores we have had some lovely times.
The Husband and I went for dinner and a gig with my parents on Monday. It was great to meet them all from work. What really stuck in my mind was the waiter asking what we were celebrating as we clinked glasses and said cheers. We weren't celebrating anything in particular, just the joy of sharing the evening together. The gig was fabulous and it felt like a brilliant start to the week.
On Tuesday I was working from home and something went wrong with the study door. Millie and I were stuck in the room as the handle had stopped working. I called mum who promptly dispatched Mal who turned up a moment later, opened the door with ease, walked in and shut it behind him to see what the problem was. Suffice to say mum then had to come down to let us both out. It was a perfect comedy moment, and Mal immediately redeemed himself by fixing the door before I'd even had time to put the kettle on.
Yesterday would have been my grandparents diamond wedding anniversary and so my lovely mum did a special dinner for my grandad and us to mark the occasion. It was a perfect way to commemorate such a significant date. It has been a week filled with family, and that is my favourite kind of week.
Sounds like a lovely, and special, week. It's great to have family close by, and clearly needed too with the study door moment (that did make me laugh!). Thanks for sharing with #WotW
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by :) there are so many times I am so grateful to have them just round the corner, this being one of them! It made me giggle so much!
DeleteSpending time with family is lovely, and it's great you have them close by. You made me laugh with your story of getting stuck, especially because your help came and did the same thing! When I was a student we got locked in our living room because the door had hammed, and had to phone the letting agency to send someone round to help us!
ReplyDeleteit was very funny indeed, my stepdad didn't realise why I was laughing so much at first, and then he tried the handle! hope your letting agency were quick to rescue you!! thank you for commenting - lovely to have a new visitor
DeleteIt sounds like a lovely week. Glad that you got rescued - even though the rescuer had to be rescued too! xx
ReplyDeleteyes - it was a multi-stage rescue attempt! x
DeleteThe rescuer requiring to be rescued! Love that story! Family is just the best, I agree. I'd love to think my boys would still want to spend time with me when they are all grown up X
ReplyDeleteit was so much fun. I'm sure they will Penny, there is nothing quite as good as home and family xx
