The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

1. The Eldest got word that she was to start her new job at the hospital laboratory this week.

2. Saturday was baking day: white bread, cinnamon raisin bread, and blueberry pie cookies.

3. After sitting in the driveway for over a month, Himself's car started right up.

4. A friend suggested I watch Cadfael with Derek Jacobi. I'm really enjoying the series.

5. New, blue gloves for calligraphy arrived.

How was your week?

  2. Sounds like another good week. I didn't even think about the car battery going dead until I think one of the T Gang mentioned it, so I started my car yesterday, just to charge the battery. I like those calligraphy gloves. I assume they help keep your hands from smearing not quite dry ink. I'm glad you guys are enjoying Cadfael.

    1. The gloves are to keep the oils from my hand being absorbed into the paper

  4. Great news on the job front. I am starting making my bread shortly. Going to make 2 of the Farmhouse White. I want to make a cinnamon raisin one as well. The Blueberry pie cookies sound intriguing. Never heard of pie cookies before. Good rainy baking sort of day. Hugs

  5. Awesome news about your eldest! Hope she absolutely loves the new job! Good to hear about the other good things, too - especially those gloves. And thanks for the Cadfael recommendation. We're almost ready to cancel our streaming service - so much junk.

  7. Is this your first time through Cadfael? I almost envy you :) Wonderful adaptation! The books are good reads, and since the adaptation is perfectly cast the books are fun whether you read them before or after the tv series.

    Congrats again to your daughter on the job! The bread sounds tasty. You must have the Battery of all batteries for it to start after so long :) Happy May Day!

  9. What a great week! I'm so happy for your eldest, was this the job you mentioned that she wanted? Your baking sounds yummy, I've not been able to get flour so I've been making things like rice crispy cakes (so yummy) instead...lol 😉. Glad the car started first time and that you enjoyed your TV series too. The gloves look great, I'm not sure why you use them is it something to do with marking the paper? Happy May wishes and weekend! Stay safe and keep well! Hugs, Jo x

  10. Nice week CJ. I hope we really see the sun this weekend. The clouds and rain were downers for sure. My week wasn't bad but I am really ready for the school year to be done. Happy new month.

    1. The weekend forecast has changed and it sounds like for the better. When school is done, you'll join the retirement crowd. What a way to end your school career!

    1. She is. She said they're taking the temperature of everyone that comes through the door, and they have masks and face shields for the techs to use. "Plus hand-washing and disinfecting surfaces but that's something us labbies do anyway."

    1. Yes, it was a worry with her being unemployed for a year so a relief that she's gainfully employed again.
