Whilst I made the collage a week ago, it’s been a difficult and challenging time again at home (birthday season for adopted children is triggering) So here are a few sentences to go with the photos until normal service is resumed …

– After an 8 hour online queue, I got my first choice tickets for the Chanel exhibition at the V&A. We’re off to see it in October half term.

– Watermelon nails as in this nail cycle we’re off to see the Dirty Dancing live show. It amuses me to have matched my nails to the iconic line.

– The Ted Lasso finale was perfect. It was true to its ethos and whilst we may have wanted some neat happy pairings, they wouldn’t have been true to the characters’ development. Please, please can we have a spin off series.

– Finally after years of trying, we have the most beautiful sweet peas in our garden. They make me smile every time I see them.

– We had school sports day and the Olivia Newton John photo was one shared in our group chat as we decided on outfits. I went for blue shorts and our school polo. We had a lovely afternoon in the sun with students and parents.

– On Saturday night, my son and I had a great evening watching the Champions League final. I do know my football so we have pretty good banter, just a simple and relaxed night.
