Saturday

Morning, everyone.
Some more garden photos - sorry.

The clematis will have its first open flower today or tomorrow, I'm pretty sure.





















Thw chives are flowering - I love chive flowers, they are so lovely.






















See what I mean?



















The irises are all in flower.  They don't last long but they are gorgeous for about a week.
This might do for 'Two colours of the rainbow' in the photo scavenger hunt.







And finally, a week or so ago I splurged in a pot of peas (feeling very naughty) and look - I have some pods!  They are peas, not mange tout and they're not pickable yet, but they will be.  Must remember to feed the pot.

If the birds notice they are there, I shall shove the lot into the little cage with the blueberries.






I got myself into town yesterday on the bus and found a curtain shop.  I now have fabric for replacement linings plus the appropriate tape.  I popped into Franklins, the fabric shop and found buttons and some sylko I needed.  Then I strolled into the high street and bought a skirt in M&S (bad me) and those net bags in Lakeland (which now have veg inside them and are in the fridge.
It was lovely and sunny, warm and happy.  Everyone seemed smiley.

When I got home, I set to with needle and assorted thread and stitched up the hem of some trousers, did a bit of mending and sewed the buttons I bought onto that little Aran jacket so that's now finished!

Today I need to go back to B&Q to get the appropriate curtain runner thingies and I might just possibly take a wee peek at the plants at the same time.  Apart from that I have no plans so I might go for a swim as soon as the pool opens (at 8) first.  Other plans involve getting ahead with my planning for next week for those unfortunates whose parents want them not to miss a week!  And I would like to tackle the front patch as those weeds are fighting back, pesky things!
That should be enough to keep me out of trouble!

  2. It's not possible to have too many garden photos so no need to apologise! Well spotted for the two rainbow colours with the irises. I have plenty of buds on both clematis plants but no actual flowers yet. What variety is your clematis?

  4. Beautiful photographs of those flowers! I agree with Eileen and you - you can't have too many flower photographs.
    Sounds like you have plenty to keep out of trouble. :)

The Power of Nice Principle 3One common mistake people make is assuming that you only have to be nice to your peers and their superiors. There's no need to be nice to an assistant or receptionist, much less a security guard or a cleaning person. After all, they can't do anything for you they have no power..
