.....is much the same as all the recent weeks hahaha.
Sunday was lovely weather and when Son, Daughter and R came over we had lunch outside. Later M and O came over as O had built a rocket so they wanted to launch it in our garden with an audience. It was very successful but they stopped after the fourth time when it came down in a neighbours garden onto their conservatory roof. Phew no damage done and the neighbour didn't seem cross. Oops!
Lunch today (Wednesday) was a beautifully crispy toasted cheese sandwich. You may remember the mini saga of the broken sandwich toaster, well yesterday I finally got a reply from Russell Hobbs to say as it's within the six months it's the retailers responsibility and to quote their reference number to prove that I've spoken to them. So off we went to Argos with the sandwich toaster and removable plates in a makeshift box together with all the long conversations about it printed out as proof........ and they replaced it without question! So of course once home I washed it and tested it out and working just fine.
With all the lockdown gardening Hubby has been doing he's gone through the knees of all his scruffy jeans and has even relegated a semi-decent pair to scruffy status. So I've done some patching and tried three different methods. In the middle l used fabric glue (which feels a bit stiff), on the right l unpicked the side seams and machined with a stretchy zigzag stitch then had to machine the side seams twice as don't have any strong thread and finally on the left is the very slow hand sewing which is still in progress!
Plus there was all the usual...... outside coffee morning with the neighbours, shopping by click-and-collect, quiz night, Daughter with R and dog coming over for garden cuppas etc.
And now it's Jewish New Year, so here's wishing you all happier, healthier, safer, sweeter times ahead. Shana Tova!

Saw the film of the rocket - no mention there about he 4th attempt. Impressively high - I enjoyed that and it reminded me of my brother's rocket making attempts with the 2 part fuel cell but the delay was slightly too much between the first and second so the rocket had turned before the second cell ignited and became an air to earth missile. We scattered! It was actually quite scary at the time but we laughed afterwards once no one had been hurt!
Adding The Good Liar to our film list.
Like the jean repair experiment. Will you ensure he wears each equally to see which method is the most durable rather than preferring one pair over the others?
And hurrah for toasties being on the menu again :-)
Wow these rocket experiments teach lots of lessons although safety isn't usually the main one for young lads. Sounds like a very near miss on your brother's one.
I did mention about jeans rotation but I'm sure he'll always grab the most comfortable so that will be the decider.
