I suppose they have an app or something to go round planting ads cos it's just too stupid to advertise a Miami leccy company on a UK garden forum.
Spent the morning being clean and going to the SM for the weekly shop. OH has a new game. Store special offers on his mobile and that gets us extra discounts at the checkout - except that having made a few euros of savings on our bill he then decided, while queuing for Julienne on special offer at the fish counter, to treat us to some prawns.......... Cost more than he'd carefully saved.
Have had a wee potter in the PT watering all the clems and hostas and acers and so on in there and harvesting some red peppers and now it's back to the painting. Fed up with it now and days of it to go but the fiddliest stuff is done.
I hope you're all enjoying this early spring sunshine and winter doesn't come back to bite too hard.

Took OH out for his birthday lunch to a newish restaurant in a nearby town. It was excellent. It's in a hotel which was featured in a programme called "A New Life in the Sun", at least, I think that was it, didn't watch it.
Not OH's birthday until Monday but I will be staying with heavily pregnant daughter then as her OH and 2 children are going skiing with my son and his family. When they booked it they didn't know she would be expecting and she doesn't want to spoil it for them. Anyway, I'll go and keep her company in case the baby comes, it's only 4 days from tomorrow. She only lives 1h15 from me.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Yes, if she's up to it we may go out for a meal. I'll take her a clump of snowdrops and a rooted cutting of the honeysuckle that grows up to her childhood bedroom window.
Just spent the time since my last post clearing a flower bed and pulling pesky ivy off a wall.

Good evening. Friday evening is here at last. Just doing a home-made Chinese for tea - slightly healthier but still a treat. I did buy the prawn crackers and they may not last until the food is ready! Hope all is well with you.
BL - How lovely for your daughter to have her childhood honeysuckle in her family garden. Hope it takes well.
Home-made pork, apple and grainy mustard burgers for dinner here with prawns and cocktail sauce for starters. OH has a new a app on his phone which lets him load our favorite SMs offers which is fine but he then spent more than we'd saved treating us to prawns. Doh! I'm cooking the shells to make stock for a fish stew.
Walls done in the downstairs loo - nightmare covering the beach effect sanded paint but downhill from now on. In theory.

I see the nice folk at Which have rated Waitrose top supermarket for in store experience.
