A GOOD THREE DAYS

On Thursday my car was booked in for a service,  while we were in town we went into Mitre 10 next door as Doug wanted some bits and pieces for future sculptures and we bought a few other odds and ends.  We then went to the Warehouse where we bought a Pieris Japonica and some seedlings, plants for bees, a couple of daisies (chrysanthemums) and some rosemary, a couple of other shops were visited and we were just about to head home when we got the call that the car was ready so it saved another trip into town.

Yesterday,  we spent quietly at home which was how Doug wanted to spend his birthday.  He had lots of phone calls and then his youngest daughter came for a late lunch.  It was late as she had a puncture in her van and had to use the ute instead as the wheels are too heavy for her to change.  

After Christine had gone I was just finishing the dishes and Doug had just got back from taking Sophie for a short walk when his Grand daughter arrived.  We had just heard that she has applied for and got a new job in A. & E.  She would have liked that when she qualified but has been working on the Orthopaedic Ward.  We had a good chat to her then her younger brother arrived.  By the time they left it was time to start thinking about feeding the animals and getting our evening meal.  A very pleasant day.

Today has been a lovely day, a bit chilly to start, but we have been busy getting most of the plants in the ground including the Pieris.  It should be lovely when it grows.
