Good morning,. one and all, welcome to Sunday. I've woken to a wet world this morning; it's obviously been raining a fair amount and looks set to start again at some point soon. It feels quite chilly too. Such a shame for all those hoping to enjoy street parties, etc, today.
I took a couple of flower photos yesterday. One is now at the top as the banner and this is the other. Close-ups can make a garden look an awful lot better than it really is!
Yesterday started dull and we even had just a few spots of rain although I only noticed because I saw them on the car windscreen. Then it cheered up, out came the sun and it was a fine but rather breezy day - perfect for drying my washing on the line. Cheers!
I did my shopping and - as almost always at Sainsbury's - get some extras. Shocking.
I also bought a fold up raincoat that was dead cheap plus some black trainers, seeing as Hotter can't provide.
I now have a list of meals to make this week.
I've already made a ham and yellow split pea soup using the stock from boiling up a small ham yesterday. Ham stock varies so much and sometimes I don't use it but this was a good stock, flavoursome without being too salty. I'll need to portion the soup and freeze it once it has cooled down.
So that's today. How do you plan to spend your day - do you have any Jubilee stuff to go to?
Whatever you do, enjoy and be happy. xx
Very pretty dress. You could order it online and then when it turns up return the one you have to the shop. Alison P
ReplyDeleteI've washed the dress now - it smelled of 'shop'. Oh, well . . .
Deletexx
The dress is just beautiful! Wear it and enjoy and don't worry about the online price. I really enjoyed watching the concert on TV last night from Buckingham Palace. It was a recorded version here in the USA since you are ahead of us in time. I love seeing Prince William with his family. Diana would be so proud of him, and Harry too, I believe, although I know some folks may be unhappy with Harry. Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThe concert was fantastic, wasn't it? Very well done.
DeletePersonally, I think the 'media' (especially the tabloid press) paints a far worse picture of Megan and Harry than most people feel. Personally, I think good for them for managing to escape that particular rat race. William and Catherine seem OK (outwardly, at least) about having their future so out of their own hands and that is good but Harry wasn't and took steps to change things. Good for him for putting his wife and family first. xx
Very pretty dress. Did you buy the raincoat in Sainsbury's as well please? I've emailed you to check something else. xx
ReplyDeleteYes, I did Eileen.
DeleteThanks for the email. xx
I have loved watching the parade today for your Queen.
ReplyDelete'They' organised things extremely well, I think. It's been a good four days. xx
DeleteNot much going on here, just gardening and a walk up to the liquor store. You can't say I haven't got my priorities straight! You seem to have had a busy couple of days, Joy, so I hope you are taking it easy now.
ReplyDeletelol - good for you!
DeleteIt's been an active couple of weeks, one way and another, so a gentle weekend was just the ticket. Real Life starts again now. xx
Love the flower photos. It's a very pretty dress. I hope the weather cooperates and you can wear it. Sounds like you'll be busy before your relaxing day!
ReplyDeletelol - isn't that always the way?
DeleteThanks, Sharon. xx
What a lovely dress, so very feminine. The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's a real summer weather dress and, actually, I don't have many of them so I'm glad I saw and bought it. I still love it. xx
DeleteFinished the Jubilee…loved it…
ReplyDeleteIt was all really good, wasn't it. I hope the Queen was able to enjoy it all, even though she needed to stay in and take things easy. xx
DeleteI love the dress. We just need some warmer weather now. X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jules. Indeed we do, there's no way I can wear it yet. xx
DeleteLovely dress, as our Sainsbury's is too small to sell clothes I always look online at the latest TU offerings, and there is frequently a sale on..
ReplyDeleteMust look online more often. I'm a sucker for a sale! xx
