Went out this morning to Dobbies, mainly to get some plants for the barrel in the front garden. The daffodils have well finished and looking very straggly. The weather has been so cool though that it has put off putting anything else in just yet. The last time we went to Dobbies the outside garden section was quite bare really, with nothing much to excite the senses. Today though there were plenty of plants to choose from, it was a matter of deciding which would look best. So, we had a cup of coffee and pondered the matter..free coffee that is. VT had a flat white..which he said was lovely, I had my usual black one.
Then we went and got some Cineraria for round the edge of the barrel, with a blue flowered fuschia to alternate, and a really lovely wine coloured geranium for the centre. I haven't seen a geranium that colour before, it's a sort of marroon..beautiful.20% off the bill, so not a bad deal either.
Got a car wash before we went there, because VT's car is just so mucky from the horrible sycamores. Must be lovely to have a garage, except that VT would fill it full of stuff HaHa...
Parcel delivery early this morning. I ordered some things from Debenhams online on Tuesday..in their sale, and it arrived this morning..free P&P too. Excellent deal, would recommend them to anybody. Easy to order, and a user friendly system too. Excellent..full marks Debenhams.
Funny last night. The doorbell went at about five thirty, and VT went to answer it. Apparently it was yet another man asking questions about the census! That is the third now. VT said he had filled in the form correctly, and didn't want to discuss it further thankyou. He said they have probably put a mark on our gate now.. I said GOG Grumpy Old Git !
Tonight we are having:
The rest of the jersey royals, if they haven't gone green!
Courgette sliced and fried in fry light,
Something from the freezer to go with. Maybe a pie of some sort.
