Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase , hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Storm’ and you can read more about that below.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WISH TO LINK UP! FROM NOW ON, THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL BE DELETED.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Storm
The UK has taken a battering this week, Isha and Jocelyn. We really felt the force of Jocelyn here in the Midlands but it was mostly late in the evening. My patio door in the living room has broken and keeps opening in the wind. We’ve found a way of blocking it now, but are waiting for it to be fixed. Other than that we have faired quite well, no garden damage and even our trampoline is intact.
A few weeks ago the neighbours cut down a large tree in their garden which was growing over our shed, so that was a relief. I’m not too worried about the trees at the bottom of the garden because 1. They would damage the fence but not reach the house and 2. They are actually on a slope that leads away from my garden, so if they did fall it would most likely be in the opposite direction into the canal.
Life has been a bit stormy for us. Everyone seems to be struggling right now. Star is feeling a little better but now I have Boo and The Little Man unwell. Boo hasn’t been to college, and the Little Man has missed his Home Education classes and a trip to Laser Quest. How sad.
Moods have been stormy with lots of arguments inside the house. I’ve also spent far too much effort being annoyed at Graham. I hope it all passes soon.
Yesterday was special though because it was my eldest’s birthday. We usually go out for a meal on his birthday but this year, with the stormy weather and car situation we decided on a take out instead. With lots of lovely cake afterwards.
So now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
The winds this week were bad here too! Luckily we still got done what we needed to but there were lots of overturned bins and rubbish scattered everywhere! That birthday celebration sounds yummy. Hopefully things within the household quieten down soon.
I think all of the words for this week that I have seen I could used, especially storm! I am so over the storms and them keeping me awake on a night. I hope you can get your patio door fixed soon. That is good that the large tree was already cut down.
Oh no! I hope Boo and your Little Man feel better soon.
Happy birthday to your eldest, it sounds like you had a lovely time. You do right staying home and getting a take out. x
Fortunately we didn’t get any damage from the storms. I hope the other storms you’ve had deal with pass and everyone starts to feel better. Take away and cake sounds like a brilliant way to celebrate!
It certainly was stormy last week. Hope your patio door is fixed soon. Sorry that life has been stormy too and hope that Boo and Little Man are feeling better now. Sounds like your eldest had a nice birthday and glad you all enjoyed having a take-out and cake. Hope this week has been a better one for you x #WotW
