It felt that in this week we transitioned from winter to spring. The week started cold and very wet yet by the end sunny, warm days had returned as we entered March. Here’s hoping it wasn’t a blip and spring is here after a very grey, cold and wet winter. It was a busy but productive week and here’s my five things of the week.

1. Some things are never quite as simple as they could be and this was the case with selling my car. Now, we know for certain Mr S will never drive again following his ABU, we made the decision to sell one of our cars, I can only drive one at a time! We started this process during half term on what we expected to be a morning job. Instead after two visits and IT problem after IT problem with a v well known used car sales website, we finally sold it to the main car dealer, my patience will only last so long. I photographed the wall painting, be bright, be happy, be you on my walk back to the bus station to get home after the sale and the sentiment just sang to me.
2. Whilst World Book day is not until next week, I’ve been busy planning my costume this week. My class team are dressing as characters from the Wizard of Oz and I’m the tin man. Vinted has been amazing for my costume and I’ve been able to source my costume very reasonably. I love WBD, it was one of my favourite days when the children were at primary school and I’m pretty proud of our home made creations over the years.
3. The rain.. the photo of the plant is from my classroom and I swapped the photo with my daughter whose view was quite different as she was spending a week in Morocco with my parents. Morocco looked lovely and well worth a little visit.
4. The sun .. this was from Saturday morning where I had a great morning. My running progress continued, it must have been my new trail shoes and then I had a really enjoyable coffee in the cafe. It was a morning full of feel good vibes.
5. Such feel good vibes continued into the afternoon. As the boys were at football I decided to take myself to the next town and go to watch the new Bridget Jones as a Saturday matinee. I love the old cinema, entirely run by volunteers and with a brilliant old fashioned atmosphere. It was full and I thoroughly enjoyed the film. It made me realise that I have grown up with Bridget Jones and how life has changed since the publication of the first diary book when I was in my early 20s. It was the best of the film adaptions, full of humour, sadness and life, well worth a watch.
