Good afternoon Bloggets. Gosh it is another boiling day. I so
wish I could sit outside, but waiting in for my painting, Don’t know when it is
due but I bet it comes tomorrow when I have to be out?
I’m so afraid in case
the post man leaves it outside?
Gosh, today I have had a task indeed. Well normally I would
get a voucher on line for my friend as it’s her birthday. Before most years Hub
and I have travelled to see her but this year we can’t. The shop I normally use
the one she likes is now not accessible. M&S. So I ordered her some
flowers. I must say the website for those was really accessible. It is a local
one near her. But I think it is linked with interflora. There are pictures of course, but
at least they tell you in words how many flowers and what kind? It’s about £33
for ten small flowers in a basket. The one I loved the sound of you only got
seven flowers, and a vase, but I just think that amount of money for only seven
flowers is shocking as one, she has loads of vases and two, she is a great
flower arranger. I liked the ones I picked as they had some dry lavender in
them. And the basket she can use to do her own flower arranging in the future.
She is worth every penny, but the hours I spent looking?
Haha. Yeah, she’s worth that too. I’m just saying, five hours!
Oh when I was looking, I was dreaming about those lilies’ that
sadly stain unless you remove the centres but they smell amazing. I love so
much flowers. I wish to have flowers every week in my house, but as I keep
saying, my Lottery numbers didn’t come up again.
Looks like our summer is due to end soon. Winter will return
by the weekend. My gardener kindly agreed to come to our rescue today. I tried
to plant our flowers yesterday and failed miserably. Not a chance teen will do
it, I asked. And no way Hub will. He says it’s my garden…. I think if it were
up to him, we would have concrete from fence to fence. Well, whilst we are
living on a motorway, I don’t want to be in a concrete jungle as well.
For dinner I’m making skampy and sweet fried potatoes. With
a side salad. Easy. Teen been home for his two feeds today. I made him salmon
pasta. With a lovely tomato and basil sauce topped off with parmesan cheese. He
ate, appreciated drank coffee ate some cake from our quiz night and after a
shower, yes, in between lunch from work, teen takes a shower.
His top boss came in
and was so disappointed to see teen back on trade. Teen told him it was the car
insurance but he said the bosses face was so sad. I so wished teen could have
got the same position here?
So, I halved the pasta he ate half then two hours later,
came back for the other half… Two hours from now, he is due back in. He will
expect food. I will say no, he can wait another hour and a half. He will
grumble like mad, but tough…
I wouldn’t mind if he
would eat a salad or pasta with cheese but no, it has to have a steak of salmon
or tuna. Or a tin of tuna. Or chicken of course…
Oh, I’m so anxious about tomorrow. I have to go out in the
morning meeting people I don’t know and it’s at a very posh place… So much to
remember to take and I pray Wagga will be a good girl… Oh my word, she never
does her business in these situations, just watch tomorrow? I hope my next blog
will be saying how well it went and how amazing Waggs was?
Had a lovely long chat today with my fab friend. It was
great to catch up. Apart from two of my friends, the rest of them all live away
miles away if not abroad. What does that say about me? Hahahaha.
Sadly, last night saw the last in the series of my most favourite
drama ever. If you can get it on DVD, and you are fed up of this modern world
and would like a true story about times gone by, try to look out for “The Durrell’s”
Already this year it has been voted the best drama and a second series has been
promised. Here is a link to a preview.
Following that was another drama called Home fires. Oh we
loved that too, but again, it was not quite so innocent was rather tragic, but
such a brilliant drama. The UK do the best dramas in the world. Home fires is a
British period television drama about the life of women’s institute members on
the home front, during the second world war. Set in a rural Cheshire community.
Again here is a link to a page that will
show you the trailer.
Well, what will the rest of the day bring? I have learned
that you just never know. You can have a plan and suddenly because of kids or
other reasons, your plans totally change… And, it is 3 in the afternoon, I have
just realised that I have not had anything to eat today. So off now to make
something so very simple. Lots of love till later. And, again, thank you for
your emails today. It is always lovely to hear from you. X
