A wee late night blog post from my comfy bed. I am loving my new duvet cover which is mainly white with the lower half decorated with colourful spring flowers. It cheers me up just to look at it. It has been a really good weekend despite the dubious weather, and we have got lots done. James has continued his project to teak oil the garden benches, and James and Ally cleaned and re-proofed and sorted out all their climbing gear after their walk yesterday. We had home made soup (made by me) and freshly made bread (made by James) for lunch. I walked down to Morrisons and did a grocery shopping including Grandma’s and we all visited her this afternoon and had a jolly time, she was on good form. James has also planted out his new primroses to replace the ones that have been eaten by squirrels. The cats absolutely love us being out in the garden so they were flitting in and out of the house keeping an eye on us. I’m planning to start gardening soon and I have asked James to teach me how, because I have no idea where to start. However I’m keen to try it because Heather assures me that it is a very pleasurable activity. I have so far purchased my own trowel, fork, knee pads and cute gardening gloves, and a gorgeous green gardening bag to keep them in. When I showed them to James today he was speechless.
This evening I was talking to Ally and he paid me the most lovely compliment, kind of back-handedly and by accident, but I was thrilled. He said that he only criticises me because he has high expectations of me. When he saw how moved I was, he quickly said “Don’t take that as a compliment!” but it was too late. I had already taken it! A good weekend indeed.
