it's Thursday again,
where has the week gone,
blink and you'd miss it!
Busy busy days here in Raindrops land!
My hydrangea is doing nicely
I drag it into the porch everytime it rains
so the flowers still look fresh
maybe that's the secret of
a good garden in Ireland....
cover all your plants with a giant umbrella??
I had a lovely surprise yesterday
I found some sweetpeas
hidden behind a hedge
I didn't plant them so they must have drifted in from somewhere else
and so I put them on the kitchen table
in my favourite jug!
and while the sun shone(for an hour or so)
I took a photo of poppies in the garden
unfortunately they don't look quite so healthy today after another downpour....
but these cute little guys seem very happy with the weather that we are having....
Sometimes I wonder why my flowers are flattened down and bashed
I always blame the dreaded rain
but
today in the flowerbed I discovered
Mister Charlie in a bid to find a ball!
Mum has been here for a few days so I'm on the go as she likes to be on the move
(all of the time, every minute of everyday)
we did a lot of looking around the shops,
yummy coffees, lunches out
and just enjoying our time together
but
where she gets her energy from I don't know.
She has just gone home and I'm exhausted
she is like a 5 year old skipping and jumping around the place and she is 75!
She must be doing something right as she looks fantastic
- I better start skipping and jumping
watch this space.....
has awarded me the Liebster award.
I am so delighted to receive it
and have a big smile on my face
I have to pass it onto 3 blogs
this is proving to be a very difficult job
so I have decided to award the Liebster
to blogs that have under 30 followers
they defintely should have more
as they make lovely reading.
Please check them out!
So in no particular order -
finally
(flippity flippity flippity flip) ....
we have been invited to a very special party next Sunday
and so I wanted to get a bag and shoes to go with the dress I intended to wear.
When out shopping with "on the go" Mum
and "still sad" daughter
I got the perfect bag and these lovely shoes
they were the only pair in the shop
and were my size
so obviously I had to have them!
(How I'll walk in them is anyone's guess)
anyway....
I put the bag and shoes with the dress
all looked absolutely wonderful and perfect
happy happy me
I was so delighted with my choice (and taste) yippee
until....
I tried to get into the dress
and to tell you it was snug is an understatement
even if I let nothing but water pass my lips
for the next few days (months)
It won't fit
so
I have to go shopping again tomorrow
and am going to buy a pair of those
huge ginormous monstrous pull me in knickers
suck my breath
in and in....
and in and in....
(and very very very deeply)
and hope for the best!
Fingers crossed!!!
Wishing you all a healthy, happy week
full of
sunshine, smiles and lovely things ♥
