Sunny Sunday

My friend and her hubby came with me to the Chocolate Shop and this spectacular tree was outside.  It used to be a nursery.  Forgot the food photos.  Do you think I will even remember  :)

 Did remember to take some of the flowers in the old wheelbarrow.  The seeds were planted months and months ago, and have just started to flower.

Two different colours as you can see.  It had also just been raining.  October is our wettest month, and is living up to its reputation  :D

 The water iris is out splendidly this year too, because of the rain.

As you can see, Demi has taken a liking to Joan.  She doesn't do laps normally  :)

This was another occasion, not a very flattering view of Demi though ;D

Saturday (Yesterday) went to see my niece.  It was her  50th birthday earlier this month.  [Makes me feel old  :)]  and I gave her my old engagement ring.  The diamonds came out of my mothers engagement ring, so has lots of sentimental value.  I felt I should give it too her now, as I don't have any girls to pass it on to.

Went over to a friend's and installed her venetian blinds for her.  Her son is too lazy to do them.  Or rather thinks they wont be of any benefit.  But they do look nice.  The tatty (do you know that word, it means old and damaged) blinds that were there, were a disgrace.  Again, a lost photo op, but she might not have appreciated it, as her house is a bit dirty, to put it politely.

Then last night she came over and we watched a film called the Kite Runner.  It is about an Afghanistan boy, who went to America, but is mostly about Afghanistan.  Quite a good movie.  I enjoyed the book too.

Jayden has been with his Dad this weekend, so have had the house to myself.  Quite enjoyable.  Did some gardening, but was getting a bit hot, so came in for a rest.  Will go out and do some more now that I have finished this blog.

Have the wedding next weekend, and may not have time to post again before then. Hope you can get your blog up and running again soon.  Will just keep looking. 

Hope the weekend has been good for you, and the newly-weds are still in a land of bliss. 

Hugs and kisses.
