You certainly had a very busy week seaburn! All those motorbike rides must have been very tiring for you but l'm glad you were able to enjoy yourself and your daughter. 👍 |

I had a lie in this morning up at 7.45 rather than at 6 as usual.
Not planning to do much today. I need to finish off a presentation I am giving in a couple of weeks time.

I agree Hywel, it is when the garden smells the best.

Once again I watered the plants I put in the planters around the cash machine this morning. They are looking very good - & so are the weeds! I will have to weed them during the week or they will outgrow the plants I've put in!
Yesterday I took a picture of each of the planters:
 
As you can see there are a few Cosmos flowers open as well as some Morning Glory flowers. The bud on the sunflower will surely be open in a week's time or so.

The white Petunia flower in the first picture is a self-sown Petunia. If it comes from a seed ungerminated from previous years or perhaps from the balcony, I don't know. A few years ago I grew lots of white Petunias on the balcony & I've had a few seedlings grow since then. But as petunias are hybrid plants a random seed could be any colour, including white!

I was in a local Home Bargains shop yesterday and there were FOUR isles of Christmas decorations  For goodness sake what's wrong with people, it's mid August !
I won't be going to H B again for a while, I don't wan the 21st century version of Christmas rammed down my throat in August thank you. I know people 'have to' prepare for it but 'jingleaires' (as my Grampa called them) are not needed in August.

couldn't agree more Hywel. Back to school stuff was in the shops 2 weeks before most schools broke up for summer!
I would like the events to go back to the old days when you have a month max in the run up to Christmas. But I guess if it helps people to budget that is a good thing. Having said that mum had an old tin that was ear marked for Christmas. She saved little bits here and there.

Our plans to go up to London for the week ,staying with one son and hopefully seeing the other two have had to be cancelled.  Hubs became ill late Thur evening and an ambulance had to be called. It's an issue that unfortunately he seems to occasionally go through , but he's home now and his heart meds have been upped and all is behaving as should be...thank goodness. Unbeknownst to us our trip to London was in fact a surprise break for All of us in Paris!! Our 3 had planned and booked everything without us knowing. We are definitely still going later this year or after I have recovered from my surgery that's in Jan. The Eurostar tickets are on hold....so we will get there. What lucky parents we are to have such a thoughtful brood. |

I 'liked' your message not because your hubby has been ill [so glad he is better now and back home] nor that you are due an op, but because family have made such an effort for you. As you say the tickets will keep.
