So, after breakfast Doug was able to carry on working on his "Sculpture". I made an apple and blueberry crumble and then some Anzac biscuits for Doug. We decided to opt out of going to the gym.
His daughter arrived at about 12.30 and we had some soup followed by the crumble and then later on a cup of tea with the biscuits.
It was good to catch up. She only lives at the other side of town but as she works such long hours as a Rural Delivery driver we don't get to see her that often.
As she was leaving I went down to the letterbox to see if there was any junk mail and was surprised to find three letters - the mail must have been delivered really late yesterday. One of the letters was some bean seeds from fellow blogger "All Points of the Compass" they are very unusual - thank you Jean.
Sounds like a very full day.
ReplyDeleteOnce again.
DeleteThey look like Borlotti Beans.

DeleteHi Sue, glad they arrive3d. The beans are green, stringless, and we called them " Triffid" as they grew so quickly once the plants were about 12 inches high. Very prolific, and I have shared so many. They originally came from a lady at our local OP Shop, but no-one knew the variety.
ReplyDeleteDid you receive my emails about them?
DeleteSounds like you've had a good day. It will be fun to watch those beans and see what you get!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am looking forward to them.
DeleteIt is always nice to get "real" mail, especially with unexpected gifts!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how much "real mail" we get.
DeleteMaybe we need to hear more about Anzac biscuits. I know about ANZAC but where do the biscuits come in?
ReplyDeleteWhen I get some time I will try and do a post.
