Lovely Day!

I had a lovely day yesterday, lots of nice things arrived in the post and by delivery.
Firstly the post came and I had two small parcels the first full of seed from a friend on the Hardy Tropicals Forum, I had sent her a cutting of a Brugmansia so she had very kindly sent me a selection of seeds to try! Hmmm could be interesting!

Then Teresa @ Christmas in Progerss sent me a little parcel with some goodies in to make. Now I know you may think me daft joining this group but I must admit I was really well organised last year and in fact practically had my feet up from the middle of November!!! Definately recommended!

Then a knock at the door in the afternoon and a man stood holding these

Then later still my friend came round with these

and later still we ate,what ever this was supposed to be????

The flowers where from my mum in my most favourite colours

The roses are a most lovely dusky pink and the gerberas are the deepest fuschia pink and the lilies scent is amazing. I think this has been one of the bestest bouquets I have ever recieved!
As for the dolop in the pan this is the person responsible

and I can assure you they did get better!

Housework?!?! & Post

As you know I would much rather play in the garden than have anything to do with housework!!!! On the Potting Shed (link on the right) they have started a new housekeeping thread and each day the moderator has set us a 10 -15 minute task! So I thought, I'm sure I can find 10 -15 mins each day and even if you really hate housework its over quickly. Today we had to wash the front door and frame! So here is the before photo



and here is the after...



Can you see any difference??? No neither could I!! But hey ho! its done now, but it will need a coat of paint this year!! As I had the bucket out the front I took the opportunity to wash round the window as well
before



now after...



I don't know if you can see it, but there is definately a difference here! We paid alot of money to have these put in, I should have sanded and painted them last year but I really, really hate this job. I HAVE to do it this year, so when the warmer weather starts give me a nudge to remind me and accept no excuses!!!

I recieved this in the post yesterday

even if my neighbour, his daughter hasn't the common courtesey to thank me, he has!! I wonder if she would be upset if I invited him round for lunch?? I'm sure she would be, so I will do it anyway!!!! lol!!

Right can't spend all day on the computer, bloggin, e-mailing and chatting to kathryn, I must go and do something!! Back Later!!
