Sunday sunshine

Had  a lovely dinner last night round my folks - tomato & basil soup, lamb chops and veggies, then josterberry crumble and custard. And not forgetting good company.... although when we went and sat down afterwards I found it very difficult to keep my eyes open!
Today we went to a toy fair and bought....nothing, we were looking for Xmas presents. Came home for a bacon butty before mum turned up with the bulbs (not light bulbs!).
I helped dig the trench whilst she was digging up part of the lawn, then we planted tulips, crocus's, tete a tete and February Gold daffs, minnows and Ipheiom, primroses and some type of black grass. So come the spring I should have a lovely colourful border.
Follow all that with spaghetti bolognese, then I managed to actual make scrummy custard (it usually goes lumpy or so thick the spoon stands up in it) which we had with fresh pineapple and we actually managed to have it all done before 8pm!! We're usually struggling by the to get it on the table in time for Top Gear. Watched lots of TV this evening which is a nice ending to a good day, especially after just a rubbish day yesterday.

Cars

The car went couple of weeks ago and first the garage couldn't find anything wrong, so it went to another one. Then it was an easy fix and now it's a diffiicult expensive fix. I think I should get a different make....
Not something I need right now, not with still decorating and we're going to have to arrange for the tree in the back garden to be replaced (another £400!). Then there's all the housework I've not been able to do. It's all really rather energy draining.
At least my pink carnations are pretty, and soon it'll be xmas and I get some days off work to do what I like (or the housework!).

Lethaaargy

My get up and go got up and went, and there I was doing quite well today.
Was ill for a couple of days during the week.... well I was unwell longer but had a couple of days off work. I'm still coughing quite well now and rather gunked up when I get up in the morning but lots better.
I got up did the washing, sorted through the bills and managed to dust some, before I decided for some lunch and reading other people's blogs, and now I am run out of energy. Naught on the box (I have the Red Bull Air race on - something I usually like but I'd much rather just go to sleep (only I wont sleep tonight if I do). Ho hum.
1940's Jive night tonight... should be fun if I can muster the enthusiasm and energy, hopefully all the dancing will get me going.
