January has 31 days and March has 31 days but somehow the March days whizz by at a faster rate than the January days!
Last Sunday I had a lovely Mother's day meal out with the Suffolk bits of the family and lovely gifts too. Cards and flowers, a book and a cool feel pillow .
On Monday, instead of bread, my machine made a couple of pizza bases. Not round and neat but at less than 20p each that doesn't really matter.
I'm right out of homemade pizza topping so that's a batch make for next week.
Ian, the heating engineer came and got the boiler permanently repaired so now if the pressure drops I can fix it myself, (the bill will arrive next month) on the same day my car went in for it's annual service and MOT and to have the clutch sorted too. Tom, Nathan and Ashley got all that done, the bill arrives on the same day......it was large!
This week I've been grateful for
- My lovely family
- The bread machine
- Sunshine
- Being able to afford to have things repaired!
Hope you have a good weekend - the forecast here in Mid Suffolk is fine and daytime temps between 11 and 15 ℃ right through to next Wednesday, which is not too bad at all.
I too am grateful for all those things. I will also add, being so fortunate to live in beautiful countryside.
ReplyDeleteMy gratitude list this week matches yours exactly. Feeling truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a nice Mother's Day. I did too.
ReplyDeleteGratitude here also for family, sunshine, workman finished and out of the house at last! and grateful we could afford the work done.

March is always much quicker than January, we spend far more time outside which gives the pleasant feel as well.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for all of the above, and also for living in a free democracy, much as we may grumble about it from time to time.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good that everything could be fixed and didn't have to be replaced. We are getting some warmer weather here too and it sure is welcome.
ReplyDeleteGlad that everything is fixed-it was our boiler service this week. Enjoy your weekend too. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good and productive week! Those things are all wonderful things for which to be grateful.
ReplyDeleteHaving everything working properly is always a good accomplishment. Pricey, but all necessary. Good to get done and over with.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to move to nice weather which makes everything better.
I too feel March whizzing by. My daughter stopped in one evening to catch up she said. I was thinking we just did that but it was last week. Time flies!
ReplyDeleteYes , we are fast nearing the end of March also ! 💐x
ReplyDeleteIm grateful for people who can repair things, and then charge a fair price. I was prepared for the worst but pleasantly surprised a plumbing bill was much much over than my head planned for.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to reflect on what we're grateful for. :)
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed a quiet week here too. I protested, but tried not to get overwhelmed by the news.
ReplyDeleteOoh, yummy pizza dough! Must give that a try in my bread machine. March has been a bummer for me so I am hopeful April will be brighter.
ReplyDeleteI am actually making pizza tonight. There will be more than enough for a couple of meals. Using the bread machine does make the prep so much easier.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you had a lovely Mother's Day.
God bless.
tbh, I don't much care for round and neat, I think the more rustic crust and shape far more appealing!
ReplyDeleteWe had a frosty start and a chilly day, but will take that any day over the 40*C and higher that is across much of America, according to the BBC this morning.
My sister in law said the easiest way to clean a bread machine after using the dough setting was to immediately bake a loaf of bread in it!
