This orchid flowered on the First of December last year. Its flowers have stayed looking beautiful since then, and then..on the First of April the first flower dropped off. What a wonderful buy that was. FOUR MONTHS of flowers and the colour hasn't altered at all. Beautiful. VT gives it a bit of TLC and repotted it and it flowered after eighteen months. I wonder when it will flower again.
Saturday was a normal day, with VT nipping into Crosby to get a couple of things we had forgotten on friday.Namely some baby plum tomatoes, and avocado pears. He is a good shopper and always gets the right thing. He said Sainsbury's was very busy with Mums sitting in cars while Dads went into the shop with children. The woman in front of him was getting the new Adele CD, and a bunch of flowers. I love Adele. wouldn't mind that myself, she has a gorgeous voice.
Sunday was a bit busier with people getting last minute things I suppose, Very April weather actually, showers and sunshine, typical April. The next thing will be Easter , the eggs have been out for weeks now, but the adverts will start in earnest soon.VT got a free kilo bag of sugar today with a voucher from the paper, this is the third now. We don't use sugar, but will when we make marmalade next time. So, that will be cheap marmalade.
The crosswords were quite easy today, we seem to finish them quickly, so did the bedding early..that means a pile of ironing one day next week. No appointments next month much, which makes a change, we seem to have had a lot in March.
Last night we had:
Chinese, spring rolls and nuggets
Sweet and sour sauce,
1/2 a packet of rice
Stir fry vegetables.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with our tomato sauce, portobello mushrooms, pineapple meatfree pepperoni and Emmenthal cheese
potato salad for me and pasta salad for VT
Egg and Potato salad. with avocado.
