HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Welcome back, Odin!!!

  • Good Morning

    A fairly bright day here, today. Apart from having a shower etc, I seem to have been on the phone a lot! Gas man is coming tomorrow, will do the yearly service and check. No comment made when I complained that the expected visit did not happen, on Saturday :-(  

    I think that my youngest daughter and the granddaughters will come here on Wednesday, for a few days. I'm really looking forward to that! A bit of house cleaning required before then. And food shopping!

    Now to have another look at the garage. I said last night that I almost preferred it untidy, as it used to be. That was down to sentiment, as I hate clutter!

    DIANE - always like to read about the RTHs.

    LINDY - hope that the knees are improving.

    ANNETTE - Your young neighbours will appreciate your advice regarding their garden planting.

    Hopefully back here later - hope all are OK

  • Been busy - another lovely day here: so many flowering plants are out at the same time in the garden that it's wonderful to see.

    Heather - One knee alright now, the other on the mend, thank you. Hope the gas man cometh as promised.

    Off to bed.....

  • Evening all:  Been busy here. Today went to whale count but I think the whales must've decided to have some fun with us. They were blowing in the distance as they approached, but then disappeared.  Very frustrating.

    Lindybird: Cute kitties.  I have nothing but sturdy sandals. "Glam" is not in my vocabulary. :-))

    Heather: Do hope gasman shows up.  Nice that daughter and kiddies will be around.  By the way, how is Amy these days?

    Gray and very cool here today; plan to do more garden work tomorrow.

    Have a good Tuesday everyone.

  • Good Morning, All.  It's a bit damper here as it rained in the night, but just rather grey now.

    Annette - Can't believe you're whale watching again already - the year is rushing by. Hope you see some on your next stint!  Maybe that's why I have so many shoes, as I'm such a chameleon! One minute, sturdy walking boots, next, smart "town" shoes, then when I get the chance, a bit of "glam!" ;-)

    Shocking news about both the Columbian disaster and the Russian bomb: even the Russians have their own terrorist problems.

    I've lots of h.work to do today, to catch up. Have a good day, everyone.

  • By the way, my Youngest sent me a hilarious Mothers Day card: It shows a huge chicken with bright hair, "Edna Everage" glasses and holding a cocktail glass, and it says "Mum, you're one crazy bird!" LOL!!

  • Here's today's pic:

    "It's Spring!!"

  • Pouring with rain at the moment, which means this morning's golf is cancelled.  Not too sorry - still feeling the after-effects of a wonderful round on a very hilly course nearby.  The weather was fantastic, the golf wasn't bad (for a change!) and this morning could have been a bit of an anti-climax.  Oh dear, that means I'll probably have to do some house-work ...

  • Housework very boring but necessary (sometimes)I ventured in to the dining room this morning and made friends with a few dust bunnies.

    The gas man did arrive and all is working fine now. I got the usual talk about the boiler being quite old etc etc and parts becoming difficult to obtain.

  • They always say that, Heather.......

  • Some of my favourite flowers are out....  Here are a couple of pics:

    Fritillaries.  The flowers are really big this year.

    Close up.
