Evening all, Glad you got the leak sorted Hazel. Sorry to hear your OH is in pain Rubee, it must be awful not to get any relief.
I've had a very busy day today. This morning was spent in the garden sowing more carrot, radish and spring onion seeds. I also moved my bulb pots so they can continue to die down and planted up 6 new pots with annuals grown from seed.
Hubby spent some time relaxing on the sun lounger.
This afternoon Firstborn came over with her Hubby, Merri and Mabel. We had a lovely time in the garden. The girls helped Hubby practice his speech, regularly bursting into laughter when he couldn't get it right. Hubby joined in the laughter and didn't mind at all. I think he's just happy to be home. We ordered take away from a local greek restaurant. It was nice to relax.
Good morning all, beautiful sunny morning here I am popping to a local nursery later with my sister to pick up plants for the wall baskets and window boxes she has in her front garden. She likes a mix of bright colours. I wasn’t tempted yesterday but doubt I will resist today it’s a local nursery that’s much more reasonably priced and I have a few gaps for bedding plants.
Nice to see ex MIL, she lives in sheltered housing and my daughter and I were trying to persuade her to brighten up the outside area and invest in a comfortable bench. It could look nice with a bit of TLC.
@Yviestevie good to hear things are easier. Family and home are the best cure I think.
Good morning Debs and everyone who arrives later. I overslept this morning which is very unusual for me. All that hard graft in the garden yesterday must have done the trick. I could not, however, maintain that level of work everyday just to get a good sleep. Caught between a rocj and a hard place!
Yvie, I agree wholeheartedly with Debs. The granddaughters will make the best recupery therapists ever! Its looking gorgeous again today so that bodes well for the street party. Whatever you are doing today have a lovely one.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good morning Debs, LB and all to follow. There’s a chill in the air this morning. Yvie the granddaughters will have brightened your day with their bubbliness. Debs enjoy your time at the nursery with your sister. I wonder what you’ll get. The bench is a good idea. LB I hope you enjoyed your sleep but don’t overdo it. Take it steady and have a regular cuppa. I’m just about to make a cuppa.
Good morning everyone .Debs enjoy your trip to the garden centre .LB I hope you have lovely day . Have an easier afternoon if you intend to work in the garden.Bluebell enjoy your cuppa.
Morning everyone, bit cloudy here at the moment, but feels warm. Lovely photo @Ladybird4 nice mix of colours. Are they yours. OH is very happy after watching the footie last night! ⚽️⚽️ @Yviestevie I agree, being home and seeing the family will do wonders for your OH......and you of course. Seeing ours yesterday certainly helped us too. 😍 Hope everyone has a good day either gardening, seeing friends and family or just having a restful day. Hope the weather is kind to you all.
Good Morning everyone, a slow start here, Debs Hope you have a lovely time with your sister at the Nursery today, the bench is a nice idea for your ex MIL to have, LB Glad you had a good nights sleep, hope you have a day to enjoy your garden, Bluebells The wet things are hanging out and there was a nip in the air, hoping it warms up later, Rubee I hope you & OH had a better nights rest, Biglad Sounds like the right temperatures to try out the new BBQ, Yvie Lovely to see your daughter & granddaughters yesterday and how they helped your OH with his speech, some light relief after all the stress, Hope you have a good day everyone.
Sorry SGL I meant to say before have a lovely time with your poppet 3 today, I’m sure he will be full of smiles too when he sees you both enjoy the day 🤗
I've had a late start today. It's French Mother's Day. I've had good long chats on the phone with daughter 1, Son 2 and OH. Daughter 1 and family, 3 sons, are having a week in a campsite cabin by the sea, Atlantic coast, France. They live near Poitiers so it's not too far. I looked up the campsite, looks great, all mod cons and really good value.
