Eddie is my shopping companion, whether he likes it or not. Like many men, he gets bored with grocery shopping, and tries to amuse himself when he has a chance, like sitting among the toiler paper rolls. I told him that at £6.70, he is a real bargain.
On Monday I walked to Sainsbury's to get more trading cards for Eddie, but the promotion has ended, drat.
More pics of St Mary's church, from a different angle, on the way to Sainsbury's.
Tuesday started like a
I find it hard to see him so stressed, my poor boy.
I was on the verge of tears that morning, and after taking Eddie to school, decided I need just a mindless half an hour for myself, and went to one of the local cafes for a cup of latte and playing games on my iPhone and checking social media.
On the way home from school, it was raining, with bursts of sunshine, and we saw a rainbow.
I looked up at it, and made a wish for a calmer week for us all.
This is the second photo from Tuesday, but as I realised I don't have any photos for Thursday, I'm adding this one to the seven-pics round of the week.
Having popped into the local Oxfam, I've spotted this vintage embroidered matchbox. Fancy that, embroidering matchboxes?!
Playing with my iPhone camera settings, this is a portrait stage setting, with a dramatic black background. Pretty good to hide a messy sofa, with one million cushions.
I guess you're never too old to go to the playground. It was raining earlier today, and the playground was wet, but we just had to stop by for 10 minutes on the way home from grocery shopping.
Ahh! I have been indulging in the mince pies. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI won't take my two food shopping because they get up to antics like Eddie.
Poor Sasha. It must be so hard for you and him. Sending hugs.
That matchbox is beautiful and something a little different. x
Thank you, Kim, I was tempted by the mince pies. I might buy them this week.
DeleteLove the last photo - Eddie looks like a Minion ! Hope things settle down with Sash's meds too. And as for you, you deserve more than half an hour - give yourself a whole day off to just do whatever you want, the rest can wait ! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl, I know what you mean but sometimes even half an hour is enough to just change the mood and feel perkier.
DeleteSo sorry to hear about Sash and the medication. It must be so hard on you all. I hope things settle down for him (and for you!).
ReplyDeleteThe photo with the black background is very dramatic.
It's funny that you think they're never too old for the playground, then all of a sudden, they are! I can't quite remember when it was for my kids - probably around year 4 or 5. Suddenly they looked big and the equipment looked small. It was quite sad to leave it behind.
Thank you, Sarah, yes, some equipment looks tiny, but we have a big playground with very tall climbing frames, which look pretty scary.
DeleteHope things improve with Sasha and the medication. I do like the look of that picture with the black blackground. Not sure I can do that on my old iphone, but I am thinking of upgrading.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica, my iPhone is not the latest generation, but the camera is not bad at all.
Deletelaughed at the last picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame the new med regime is not working well for Sasha and you are also getting the fall out.
Great rainbow picture.
Thank you, Elaine, he's still adjusting to the meds, can't say there's much of an improvement over the last week.
DeleteThat is a fun photo Eddie looks like a Minion. I really hope things settle down with Sash's meds, that isn't ideal. Take time for you too x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan, alas, there's not much improvement with meds so far, it's taking time to find the right balance.
DeleteSorry to hear about Sash and the medication. I hope it all settles down soon for you. Good on you for taking the time out for yourself.
ReplyDeleteThat matchbox looks interesting!
Thank you, the matchbox is fascinating. I was tempted to buy it, but then thought I don't have anywhere to display it.
DeleteI hope Sasha will adjust soon to his new medication. I love the photo with the black background.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anca, we've been playing a lot with my camera, trying different settings.
DeleteHope Sasha's meds get sorted out and he gets on a more even keel now. Some lovely photos of Eddie here too
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma, Eddie is an easy model for me. He doesn't mind me taking lots of photos.
DeleteI wish I lived closer, it sounds like you could do with a good chat and a cup of tea to take you away from it all for an hour or two. I hope Sasha's reaction to the meds sorts itself out quickly for you both #365
ReplyDeleteSome timeout sounds well needed and over due, will the medication work long term or is it worth trying something new?
ReplyDeleteIt is strange that Halloween and Christmas are both in the shops at the same time. As a cross stitch fan I love the embroidery #project365
ReplyDeleteWe were collecting the trading cards too and have not managed a whole set. So I am in the dog house. Sorry to hear about Sashas meds, I hope you manage to sort it out. That matchbox is very pretty. They must have had a lot more time on their hands than our generation. x
