Brighter..

Actually a lot brighter today, noticed that a few of the bulbs that Vin planted in the barrel outside our front door have started to come up. hope we don't have a frost now to do them damage.
We went into crosby this morning because we wanted to get some photos printed off at the photo shop there. Vin took the card with him, andand we selected some of the ones that have been taken over Christmas and new year and some of the loft that he had been working on last year. got about 14 done and that was around £3.30 not too bad. We then had a look in Martins because I wanted to get John an up to date motor cycle magazine so he could compare it to the old one that we sent for Christmas. Got that, then went to Sainsbury's for our weekly veggies. Quite quiet actually, so we got round quickly for a change. Got everything we needed and were home for a coffee as usual. So, we have now got a good selection of things for John for his birthday and if we post them off tomorrow they should get there in tim e for his birthday on Feb 2nd. At least he should be having a nice warm day over there, hope it isn't too warm.

My orchid plant that Vin has carefully been tending has sprouted another shoot. When it finished flowering last time he cut it right back to the first codule and it is growing a little bit more each day. What a Star!
Tonight we are having:
gruyere cheese escalopes
Mixed veggies,
baby baked potatoes
Mushroom sauce.
