A little trip to Dobbies today, mainly because Vin had coupons for free coffees, and he wanted to get some stuff for the gardenm compost etc. So we had a bit of a look round, I look at frippery things, and he goes off to look at plants and composts etc. I think it's a man thing, looking at composts!!
We met up for our coffee after about a few minutes, and he dispatched me over to the naughty corner, right in the far corner of the restraunt bit, which was quite nicve actually because there was a large fish tank and the fish are really cvalming to watch. I'd love a fish tank if we had the space, they are so relaxing to watch.
He then went off to get his compost stuff and I went round the food hall. Got some lovely little meringue cases for our bumper crop of so far one strawberry.. and some after dinner mints.And a new pot for my beloved orchid..in guess what colour..PURPLE.. Well the orchid is purple so it is now very smartly colour co-ordinated.
At this point I was trying to post a picture of my orchid but can't seem to retreive them.. the computer won't do what I want it to as usual. Anyway Vin bought it for my birthday almost exactly two years ago and it flowered for weeks and weeks. Expected it to flower again the next year but it didn't until December the 1st !! which was strange. and it stayed in flower till March the first.. Then it flowered again on July 1st this year and it is in full bloom again. What a strange plant..beautiful to look at though, it was a great birthday present.
Looks like we are getting new neighbours again. Last night the landlord showed a couple around and apparently they are taking it. He is a plumber/electricial/handyman and she is working. So all change again next door. Hope they are ok.
Tonight we are having:
Pasta with a tomato sauce and a bit of garlic bread
Mixed green vegetables.

I like it 'the naughty corner' lol - yes it's man thing compost - Nigel has a compost bin at the end of garden and goes to various gardening clubs demonstrating 'how to make good compost' and what's so sad is that these folk in the gardening clubs find the topic so exciting!!! and he takes his worms with him too!!!
We live in a cul-du-sac in the middle of an estate and so, somehow, everyone sales/charity/clothing bag and Jehovah Witnesses seem to gravite to us. We are now a 'No Cold Calling' area so their ploy now is that they are not collecting the £2 today but will come back in a couple weeks time. They are just informing us.. crafty
Well I hope all goes well with your new neighbours :)) Judyx
