Bringing New Flowers!

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it

- Terry Pratchett

Welcome to my Sunday 🌷🌹

We had a bit of lie-in.

Still had hugs and kisses

With brew and breakfast.

I put on the thermal vest.

Rain mac.

Out for a ride in Sexy Beast.

Pump up the tyres.

Fill up with fuel.

Then back home we go.

The coffee machine goes on.

So does the washing machine...

Once two loads of washing was done.

On goes the tumble drier.

The meantime I made the red velvet cake for tomorrow.

The oven was turned down low,

While we went out in the rain again.

Checked hubby's tyre pressures.

Filled up with fuel.

Then nipped into the Co-op for some milk.

Roses anyone?

As normal the red light kept going off.

It doesn't like reduced food!

Then off to give my mum and dad's grave a tidy up and put new flowers on.

Then back home to unpack the shopping.

Got the cake out to cool down.

In the meanwhile, finished off the soup.

Then I wrote 2 blog posts.

We had Gammon for tea.

Once finishing my blog posts.

I had to finish the cake as well.

Finally got to look into today's newspaper.
