This life

We had another BBQ on Saturday, daughter and the two little ones came over, Will had a sleepover with grandma, hubby used his new smaller BBQ, it took us over two hours to put it together in the week, he is really pleased with it, this one has cast iron cooking racks and plate. It was much easier to clean after use, and lighter to wheel out each time.

I loved this book from the start, a poor student looking for a cheap room near campus, just for one term, how bad can it get, who can she rely on, I guessed the twist about half way, which did not stop me enjoying the book, there was a second twist near the end which made complete sense. Book 45 read this year.

I have been stitching on cooler days, I have finished the top lines, I am now working on the sides, I intend to move the work so I can complete both sides and then do the bottom. I will then have the space I need to fill, no plans as yet, just a rough idea of what I would like to stitch again.

Hubby made some super rhubarb flapjacks, they were wonderful, I have asked him to make more, we have plenty of rhubarb in the freezer, this week we are eating lemon cake.

I have been watching the tennis, as always enjoying the matches, so many great players this year, the first week has been less dramatic than last year, Saturday did see a few ladies fall and Sunday the number 1 seed lost her match. Some of the qualifiers and wild cards are playing great tennis, and matches are very enjoyable to watch, Djokovic again is playing silly B's, all his silly antics get on my nerves, I hope he's out soon, same for the hype over Serina Williams return to the game, both talented top quality players, but age catches up with everyone. Arthur Fery's match, over 4 hours of great tennis, hubby and I enjoyed his match, just amazing a brit into week 2. 

I've noticed loads of rat holes in the space behind our garage, they are ever present here, we have 3 very overgrown gardens all close by, we will never be rid of them, they have gotten into my composter, it's another unwanted job for this week.
