Last weekend H was off to his Dad’s and he wanted to take the VR Headset that we are reviewing. It’s an enthusiasm he shares with his Dad, so I wasn’t expecting the headset to come back. Time then for a quick photo shoot before he went so that I have some pictures for my blog post. I think he’s trying to be all cool here and this was his favourite shot from the session.
I spent a big chuck of the weekend in the garden. I washed the greenhouse which was a major undertaking as I had to get the big step-ladder down from the loft to do it. It hasn’t had a really good clean since we got it (probably because of the need to get the step-ladder down from the loft), although each year it’s had some attention. The windows are nice and clean now ready for the new plants. I’ve tried to do a bit in the garden most days this week and it’s looking pretty good as a result. There’s still more to do though, but the lawn has had its first cut and I have some seeds planted for my vegetable patch.
Over the last few weeks we have been doing some juicing which we will be featuring on the blog soon. I really liked this juice with its nectarine, pineapple and lemon combination.
This week I went to a restaurant opening. It was a bit further afield than usual for me as most of the restaurant openings tend to be in the city centre, but this was in Sutton Coldfield which is a few miles out of the city. I had a lovely time sampling the Asian cuisine on offer and catching up with Chris from Mummy of 3 Diaries, who had helpfully suggested that I go by train thus saving myself the joys of sitting in traffic for ages.
H is looking very grown up in that first photo. We have a VR headset, the boys love it. It makes me feel a little sick, but think it’s because of my eye sight. Sounds like a good week out for dinner and the juicing sounds good. x
H looks so cool in that photo! The juice sounds delicious and the restaurant sounds even better! 🙂

Oh I want a VR headset -loving your week never actually been to Sutton
H looks so much older whilst he’s posing there and the VR headset sounds really good. Well done on doing so much on the greenhouse. We’ve been here 8 years and ours has never been touched!

fresh fruit and vegetables are expensive in Dubai as they are all imported and while I recognise it’s healthier, I’d rather eat the fruit than juice it and besides it takes too long to clean our juicer after using it

When I see a VR headset it always reminds me of the guy on the BBC, who was wearing one when he bent down to pick something up and steadied himself on a virtual desk, and of course fell over because there wasn’t anything there! Made me lol anyway… 🙂
lovely photo of H with his headset. all I had no idea that you and his Dad were not living together anymore – sorry to read that. well done on the greenhouse work – I am not green fingered in the slightest x

Did it come back from his dads? We are not bothering growing anything this year, too much hard work for little reward.

Aw, he looks super cool in that picture.
I know Sutton Coldfield well, so next time I’m down I’ll look this place up – My Mom grew up there!
I am presently on celery juice every morning to sort out my stomach, very interesting!
H pulls off cool so very well in that fab photo! I love it and I don’t even get gaming!#365

Love that first photo, he looks very cool and very grown up! Sounds like a lovely week. I’m useless in the garden, always have big plans but never get round to doing any of it!

H does look cool!
I don’t mind gardening, but I don’t do ladders at all..
Glad you had a nice evening at the restaurant.

Oh I love juices but fresh fruit is really expensive here! Yours sounds lovely. Yay to being able to get out into the garden, we need the rain to stop here so we can clear our tiny patch up! I really like your first photo of H, looks like an advertising photo!

Washing the greenhouse sounds like a tough job; such a good idea to have got it done before the weather got too hot! I bet it looks wonderful now.
H looks pleased with his headset and his pose is cool, my children would love one too, and I’m sure their daddy would have to try it too, I wish I had a garden like yours I’d love a vegetable plot, what a lovely way to end the week with a restaurant review xxx
