So another month has gone past in fast forward mode and suddenly here we are with British Summer Time beginning in a few days. Here's a brief resume of how my month progressed, noting that I ended the month a whole year older than when it started 🎉
Watching and Reading
I managed to read a variety of books this month and you can see my reviews of those in a couple of days time. On TV we watched the Netflix drama that everyone is talking about, Adolescence. What a powerful performance from everyone concerned. It makes me grateful that the online world was not as compulsive when my children were growing up but concerned for my grandchildren. I think that it should be viewed by all parents of young children and teenagers to forewarn them of the dangers that they may be vulnerable to experience. We are also watching Protection which we are enjoying and we've also just finished The Bay. I am watching White Lotus (Paul has given up with that one!)
Eating
We are still enjoying experimenting with the recipe spice box that our son arranged for our Christmas present - tonight it is the turn of lamb rogan josh. We were sent all the herbs and spices needed, we just have to provide any fresh products. I love Rogan Josh in Indian restaurants so have high hopes for this one!
We have been to lunch twice at friends' houses and enjoyed a lovely Sicilian lunch out in Cambridge for my birthday.
Self Care
I'm still continuing with my pilates class and think there may be a tiny improvement in my flexibility. Plus I am managing to hold all the positions a bit longer and don't find them quite so difficult. But ... there is still a long way to go! Still enjoying my Zumba Gold classes, you really do feel lighter and more positive after an hour of dancing.
At the end of last month I was awaiting results of my scan and I cannot put into words how relieved I was to receive a call to say that there was nothing sinister detected and they did not want to send me for more tests.
Days Out
We went to Cambridge on my birthday, it is such a lovely place. Full of character and atmosphere and always somewhere new to discover.
We also went to Walton on the Naze when we went to visit friends who live near there. It's a place of two halves, on one side the seaside resort and pier that was so popular years ago but now looking a little tired, and on the other side a more wild, natural area which is sadly at risk of coastal erosion.
There’s a bit of a story behind the new car I got this month. Let’s just say that I am driving a new car, but it’s not the one I ordered 😬 I'll elaborate more after the garage manage to get the car that I wanted in the first place - hopefully not too long to wait!
Here's the month, 1 Second Everyday
Now please do pop over to Deb's World in Australia who co-hosts this fun monthly round up. Better still, join in the fun and share your month too!

Hello Deb thank you for joining us for the #WBOYC? link up for March. We watched Adolescence and it was such a powerful performance by all of the actors. It is a scary world our children live in. We are visiting the UK in August and may be able to get to Cambridge. Enjoy your April. Sue L x
Wow, we haven't watched Adolescence but I am hearing such good things about it. Need to remedy that. We have gotten stuck watching Dexter which is a series with 8 seasons. Yikes.
I am sorry the car you were delivered isn't the one you ordered. Hmmm. Hope that is quickly addressed by the dealer. Is the blue car in the 1 Sec video the one your have now or the one you wanted? Pretty dusty blue color. I wish I had gone with a color other than white.
Loved seeing the pictures of the family events during the month, and my friend Coco, the grands are growing like weeds!! So thankful for your good news after the health scare early in the month. We are so blessed when we have good health.
Did you make the crocheted stuffed animal? It is adorable. And love the patchwork crocheted quilt with all of its color. You are really whipping out the projects these days.
Our grands are on the way over to soak in the sunshine and hot tub and eat hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring Sunday.
Hi Deb, lovely to read about your month and I'm so pleased the scan were OK and you don't have to see anyone further, you must be so relieved! I haven't seen Adolescence yet but everyone is talking about it. I also had a new car delivered which wasn't what I ordered so I look forward to hearing the story behind it. Thanks for linking up with us for #WBOYC, it's great fun reading how you spent your month.
Wonderful news that your scan was clear. I've read lots about Adolescence but have not seen, we don't get any of the streaming services (by choice). Glad you got to spend your birthday in one of your favourite places.
