Morning, and welcome to this week’s #MMBC! I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend.
We had a very lazy one here, and I think we all needed it! My eldest had a bit of a nasty accident on Friday after rushing and walking straight into a length of wood sticking out from the back of Craig’s truck. His glasses cut his face, missing his actual eye by millimetres! Thankfully he’s absolutely fine, and the lovely A&E staff soon got him sorted.
So, we decided a quiet weekend was definitely in order. We’ve played board games, watched movies, pottered around the garden and generally done very little, and it’s actually been really nice!
Before we get started, a big thank you to everyone who links up with #MMBC each week, and also to those who simply pop by for a read. It’s always lovely having you here.
Right then, grab a cuppa and let’s see what everyone’s been up to!
Features of the Week
Kim shared her latest 365 Days of Gratitude post. It’s such a nice way to document all of those little everyday things that make us happy, and to look back on them afterwards.
Pat celebrated Colorado’s 150th birthday with a look back at some of the state’s history and beautiful scenery, what a beautiful place to call home.
Have a lovely week, everyone. x 😊

Accidents happen and I am so glad that your son wasn’t seriously hurt!
Thank you for linking my post from last week. This week we have stayed inside quite a but as there has been poor air quality fromm all the wildfires burning here in the Western US. Our part of the country needs rain and cooler temperatures.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
Thanks, Pat. It’s awful, isn’t it? We’ve had a few local fires in our nature reserves over here. Fingers crossed we get some rain soon. Have a wonderful week too.
oh I hope your boy is ok. The bonus was a quiet weekend – which is can be a very nice welcome thing. Back in 2018 when we had a bus tour in Italy, my son was sick one day, and it was nice to just laze in our hotel room for the do not much. Enjoy your week ahead and thankyou again for the linkup!
Aw, thanks, Jill. It is nice to have a lazy one now and again. You’re very welcome, and have a lovely week. 🙂
You really needed a slow weekend after that! So relieved that all was well at the end.

Thanks, Soma. Have a lovely week. 🙂
Oh wow! I am glad your son is okay. Mine did something similar when he was young. We were told to go to a plastic surgeon because it was so near his eye! Scary stuff.
Thanks, Lisa. It’s such a worry, isn’t it?! Thankfully, there was no long-term damage done.
Oh gosh! What a scare for you all with your eldest! It sounds like he was really lucky not to hurt his eye more. Sending love and hugs. I hope he makes a speedy recovery!
Thank you for the mention and for hosting each week!
Thanks, lovely. Yes, he was so very lucky. Have a fab week, and you’re very welcome! 🙂
Oh my goodness, Jayne. I’m so glad to hear your son is ok. That must have been so frightening. Sending warm hugs xx
Aw, thanks, Ruth. I was a bag of nerves! So relieved he is OK. xx
It sounds like a quiet weekend was definitely in order after the stresses of Friday! I’m so glad your son is okay and that his eye is, too! That was a close call! Wishing you and your sweet family an uneventful week ahead, Jayne! Thanks so much for the party!
There is nothing like one of your loved ones, being hurt. Glad it went well and so did your weekend, no doubt everyone needed it. Jayne thanks for hosting us all, one of my favorite breaks on Monday morning is coming back around to visit each blog. Have a great week ahead.
OMG, I did not finish my thought, LOL…went as well as could be hoped for.
Yikes, that does sound like a scary accident! I totally get everyone could use some quiet time at home after that.
Hope everyone has fun – another heatwave so indoors for me
Cant believe the summer holidays are nearly over – enjoy the last weeks
