a blah-di-dah kind of week

It has been fairly safe to say that this week has been blah! Really blah, in so many ways.  So blah that all I've managed to do is lay down and read blogs, not write my own, as I had planned.  Until now- not quite what I had envisaged writing about, but probably an accurate reflection of how I'm currently feeling.
After what had been quite a warm (I think) and pleasant weekend, we woke up Monday morning to rather a lot of rain.  Not the best of weather for an outing to the woods with my friend and her two children.  My little ones are not yet able to articulate themselves fully, but they sort of realized that a trip to the woods was not going to happen, but, after a few phone calls, off to their "auntie's" (my friend) we went and all was good again.  However, by the time we got home, the ache I had in my wrists that morning, which I'd dismissed along with other 'symptoms'  had begun to resemble something more serious and I was beginning to feel quite unwell.  This was confirmed by a very unpleasant night suffered by both me and my husband- oh dear, we were ill!  Cue four days of muddling through our daily routine with the little ones (not easy juggling the demands of two year olds when you feel so blah!) sleeping when they slept and oh yeah, juggling the needs of the people building our conservatory.  Yep, work started on that this week and while this cannot be described as blah, I dislike things happening which are beyond my control and I intensely dislike anything which may interfere with my boys daily routine (like being ill and conservatory building).  Luckily, my hubbie was on hand, albeit as ill as me, to help on this front.


We have only just begun to feel normal again and we did manage to venture out yesterday where I took a quick snap of our magnolia tree in the midst of changing colour, but the weather has remained blah, as has my mood, blah!

One little nugget of brightness (silly I know) but, I've finally worked out how to get a title onto each blog post- yay!  Oh, and I'm about to make a batch of biscuits to trial a recipe I found.  Hopefully, I can post a photo of my attempt.
