Starting the week by writing the Monday Happy List  is something I’ve been doing for a while. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to write.

Monday Happy List {Week 348}

It felt like a long week after an amazing half term away. It was hard to get back into work, especially as I had a short week. I had an interview on Friday for a job I really wanted. It is hard to put yourself out there and I was so disappointed not to get the job. I had to do an admin task which went well but I got really tongue-tied in the interview. Hopefully the interview will give me confidence for next time.

My daughter had a really fun playdate with a friend after school. They have an inflatable pool and they spent hours plashing in the water. It was such a fun way to cool down in the hot weather and tired her out too!

On Saturday we went for a walk along the canal at Harefield and had lunch at the Coy Carp. We found loads of elderflower along the way so picked elderflower blossoms to make our own elderflower cordial. It’s easy to make and you can store in ice cubes to use throughout the summer months.

I picked up a few sewing projects last week but felt a little meh about them. I bought a few pre-printed panels from Kit & Co. so stitched the poppy embroidery panel. It gave me all the satisfaction of some sewing I needed, but without having to think too much about it.

Have a great week!
