The best & worst lately.
09:54Honestly, so far this year, it's been one thing after another and one illness after another. Lets start with the worst things lately.
I've been really poorly with like flu/cold thing. I had such a sore throat and my ears were blocked. Everything felt achy and it wasn't nice. I am however feeling a lot better now. Thank goodness. I suffer with a rare brain disease and have had a bit of a headache the last couple of days. Nothing bad and it has been much worse, it's just annoying more than anything.
Yesterday my camera decided it wasn't going to work and would keep freezing. I couldn't even turn it off because it had just completely froze. I managed to change the lens and that solved the problem, it works fine with another lens, it's a little noisy when I try to focus though. I'm super worried my camera is on it's way out. There is NO WAY I can afford another one. If anyone has had this problem with there DSLR camera, please do let me know if it's fixable. That camera was a gift and is honestly my pride and joy.
Anyway, lets not dwell on that, enough with the worst parts, let's focus on the good!
I am super proud of the kids, for many reasons which you can read about here.
Its just two days until half term and the break will be more than welcome here. I've got no plans set in stone yet but we are hoping to visit a big park and spend lots of time outside in the fresh air, as long as the weather isn't horrendous that is. We're also hoping for a chilled out day, with movies and board games, arts and crafts and just general relaxing. We may get some things from our February bucket list ticked off, hehe.
We've spotted the first sign of spring! The daffodils are starting to shoot up from the ground. We've been seeing them everywhere we go! We are SO excited for the better weather ahead. Hoorah!
I've also taken up colouring! I got an adult coulring book and some markers for Christmas and hadn't had much of a chance to sit down and use them! I can officially say I'm addicted to colouring now, haha. It really does help me relax.
What are your best and worst parts of the week? What's made you happy lately?

ReplyDeleteOOh glad you feel better. Can be so rubbish being ill. The pancakes looks brill. Hubby made us some and I had chocolate chips. Enjoy the colouring; meant to be so relaxing!! Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst x
ReplyDeleteBad bits....I've been ill with a cold since before Christmas, it seems to have got worse not better. I blame having to go outside and then coming in to a warm house, I can't seem to shift it...Although doesn't help that my little boy has got it too.
ReplyDeleteGoods: been eating healthy, doing more exercise and concentrating more on my blog.
Aww I hope you feel better now! I had the dreaded lurgy last week and it was horrible :(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better now, horrible news about your camera, perhaps take it into a shop and get someone to look at it before it gets worse x
ReplyDeleteoh hope the camera isn't too poorly! Colouring is so therapeutic. Love those pancake smiles. Have a super half term and thanks for joining in
ReplyDeleteglad to hear your on the mend and I too have taken up adult colouring ooks and finding it rather therapeutic
ReplyDeleteSorry that you haven't been feeling very well :(
ReplyDeleteI love a classic lemon and sugar pancake, but we forget to buy lemon for pancake day this year.
so with you on the adult colouring books! love them. I find them so relaxing when my mind doesn't want to shut down
ReplyDeleteAdult colouring is all the rage now, I actually saw a Vogue one last week in Waterstones! Looked so cool :)

Aww get well soon :). Try any of these 6 for your cold : Thyme tea, black pepper tea, almond, flax-lemon-honey, suck a lemon, and warm milk :) And I love coloring too! :P
ReplyDeleteYour strawberries look so delish! Finally, sounds like you have great kids, tlc! xx
Hope you're feeling better soon! I really must try adult colouring, everyone I know loves it!
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you on wishing Spring would hurry up with warmer days. I too am getting into colouring and picked up some of those adult colouring books in charity shops recently. Ever the bargain-hunter. I do find that it is when you have had yucky stuff going on that this linky is at its most powerful. Pancake Day seems to be lasting all week here with various filling experiments and favourites. Have yourself a lovely week
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your brain disease I hope you are ok and feel a little better? xxx
ReplyDeleteAdult colouring has taken off in a big way. I work in a bookshop and we have about 50 different varieties and they are all really popular. I started doing it on maternity leave before it was "cool". It's a fun hobby.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! i am quite into colouring myself. Spring really is just around the corner, and I, for one, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAdult colouring seems to be very therapeutic doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that I've already got two daffodils in bloom, I love daffsand can't wait for some warmer weather. Sorry about your camera, I hope you can fix it.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the bad bits. I hope you are starting to feel better now. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I love colouring as well - there is something so relaxing about it. x
ReplyDeleteI like this idea of focusing on the best and the worst. So often the bad seem to outweigh the good until we look at it properly and then realise that there is so much good stuff to be grateful for
ReplyDeleteHopefully your camera is okay! I've been enjoying colouring recently too.
ReplyDeleteAhh, loving your reasons to smile! :) Sorry you've been ill though. I hope you have a wonderful half term. :)
ReplyDeleteI too have seen the daffodils and did a little dance! Soooo happy! I bought my daughter one of those adult colouring books for Christmas and she loves it (perhaps not as much as I do though, lol) Great post. x #fartglitter
ReplyDeletePeople keep buying me colouring books but actually I find them a bit stressful. Between choosing colours and staying in the lines- not actually for me :-(

Colouring in is sooo relaxing, it's brilliant. Sounds like you've had a fairly good week.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better now and glad that colouring is helping to relax you
