Week 37 of 2020: Supercars
Now the boys are at school I don’t feel I have as much to write about. I did manage to catch up with a friend for a brisk walk to complete our daily steps quota. We felt so pleased with our progress we then had a cooked breakfast to celebrate – which probably defeated the point! But it was very nice all the same. Most days are passing in a blur, getting the boys things sorted for school. Then catching up with the washing, the rest of the housework and a few blog chores. However, the main highlight of the week had to be supercars.
Jigsaw
Finally completed this boat jigsaw. It was quite a challenge. I am pleased I carried on though. I still have another jigsaw to complete but then I might pause jigsaws for a while! Just because I don’t get as many chores done when I am working on one.
Supercars
My eldest son had his supercar experience this week. It was on hold during lockdown, his original date cancelled. So, he was delighted he managed to go finally. He drove a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, an Audi, and a Jaguar. It was a wonderful experience for him. We have lots of lovely photos from the day.
He had some nice compliments about his driving from the instructors, which he was happy about. All the cars were special for their own reasons. Some my son liked for the speed, others for the handling. With the talk of another possible lockdown on its way, I was very pleased we had managed to rearrange before that happened. He did have to be kitted out in gloves and mask when driving, but that’s to be expected given the current circumstances.
We have missed quite a few things over lockdown (as I am sure many other families have too) least his Supercars experience wasn’t one of those things in the end.
Eating Out
Although I mentioned last week about trying to get active, this week I have had a few naughty treats and my good intentions have slipped. We went to TGI Fridays and I had the sesame chicken strips in their gorgeous Jack Daniel’s glaze! Then we went to Creams and I had a very indulgent piece of chocolate fudge cake with cream. The boys had massive ice cream cones.
I loved the flower wall they had in Creams. Naturally, I couldn’t resist a picture.
I don’t think I have anything else to mention. Next week I will have to make sure I take more photos otherwise it will get to the weekend and I will panic I don’t have enough for my next weekly update! Life certainly is very different without my constant companions. Although the house is probably cleaner!
The cooked breakfast sounds like a great reward for the walk. hehehe
How exciting for your eldest to drive the supercars! They look amazing!
Ahh! I love TGI Fridays but we don’t have one near us. I miss it. x
Wow that supercar experience sounds amazing, glad you were able to rearrange it during covid
What an awesome week and you do have loads to talk and write about!
That jigsaw is amazing, it really does look look like a proper picture! We still have a few jigsaws to crack on with, however they do take up far too much floor space!
Super jealous you ate out at TGI, love their seasame chicken – that floral back drop is lovely check you out, ickle angel! 🙂
So glad he had a fab time speeding around in the cars, it’s such an awesome experience!
Hope you are all having the best week! Sim xx
Love the jigsaw. I never get anything done when we have a jigsaw on the go – I can’t resist constantly going back to it and doing a bit more until it’s finished. That supercars experience sounds like it was a lot of fun. Love the flower wall photo. #project366
The cooked breakfast sounds like a great reward for the walk. The supercars looks amazing. We got that for my oldest but was cancelled as they aren’t open here yet. Looks fab though. xx
What an amazing supercar experience. Glad he managed to fit it in. Love that flower wall. I never have anyone to take photos of me against pretty walls, so I have to get out the selfie stick. Not quite the same!
A cooked breakfast after an exercise sounds like a good balance to me. Glad your son enjoyed his experience day with the cars.
The puzzle is fab! I can imagine it was quite tricky. I haven’t done any puzzles in over a year, they do tend to distract me from doing anything else. Great fun though.
Oh I love the flower wall! I need one, although I am not sure i would be able to convince the boys to pose. Those supercars look amazing what a great experience. It does feel like another lockdown is on its way doesn’t it?
My hubby loves the sesame chicken from TGIs, the odd treat can’t hurt! Fab supercars, my eldest would love seeing them #project366
That is a stunning flower wall, perfect for a picture. The supercar day looks fun too, I would love to do that
Cooked breakfast as a reward for your steps sounds like perfect logic to me ! The Supercars day out sounds amazing – definitely something to remember. I hope we don’t have to go into lockdown again. I’ve never eaten at TGI Fridays but it sounds delicious to me – yum !
