Thanks LM, more 'myself' now  occasionally one of those annoying tickles in throat making me cough but thankfully not a 'chesty' virus 

You're on track then Viktoria  stay well ...

Have also caught up with the 'proper' image of the photo Jeff, lovely and a treasure.
No idea what makes the images 'stretch' at times, have had it happen with a very few of my 'umpteen' TOT photos I've posted over the years   

Best Wishes to you and your twin LM, many happy returns 

Back from a few days road trip, we've managed to clock up a fair few kms on the new car in 6 weeks gallivanting here and there with road trips ... still refer to it as mileage 

Lovely catching up with 2 groups of friends at 2 events, 1 absentee at 2nd one who called off having tested positive for covid.

Be well all ... start of another new week for diary, gone 5.20pm Monday 3rd for us NZ 

You have a good recall for historical events Viktoria  I'm more interested in historical stuff than in school years though not a lot on offer really then and mostly limited to particular NZ events and then not chosen as a subject at senior level.

Very petite you are too!! that is a bit ancient history for me  I was 6st 10lb when I met husband but was probably eating like a sparrow then, eating out and socialising more after that, then home cooking and feeding family and these days just trying to keep a bit moderate. I don't usually do much in way of baking or puddings for just the two of us, always something husband can have to eat for afters if he wants it but he is trying to be a bit moderate too. I did make an apple and fig crumble this week, mainly to use the preserved figs taking up room in the fridge. Daughter's friend gave us a huge jar but they are too syrupy and sweet for us really and only slowly getting through them and nearly gave up as struggled with lid of jar this time and thought I was going to break it. I had already cut up some Granny Smith apples ( granny sniff as daughter's goddaughter calls them  ) so persevered and nice but still just a small portion each time.

Holiday weekend NZ and things to do around home really, a few days away for us next week ... enjoy your weekend all ...

Easy does it Viktoria ... a week down now and plenty of rest and some more comfort and pampering your way required for a few weeks yet, not easy to break the mould eh

Birthdays here and there, friends and several family. A happy get-together last Saturday for middle granddaughter turned 6, catch up with husband's only sister and baby of his family after 4 boys, she's just had her 8th grandchild and the 5th boy born 9 days before her birthday this week. My eldest sister next week, she was a great grandmother before I was a grandma with all her grandchildren 20's and 30's now, one grandson abroad for a few months and in London at present.

Back to another week closing in though the days lengthening daylight hours for us, Friday has come around quickly, our youngest and her husband are coming over tomorrow which is always lovely.

Happy days all and be well or as well as can be  ...
   

Changeable/fickle Spring days for us ... layer on/layer off 

Awaiting a delivery, hopefully sooner rather than later
