Last Saturday

Had an "exciting" week this last week.
Last Friday I went to bed very very late, way too late really considering I had to get up 4 hours later to nip on down to Gatwick.... where of course the plane was delayed by about 40 minutes. We only had an hours flight. Go on have a guess where... how far can you go on an hours flight? And it was one of those propeller planes as well.... we half expected someone to nip out and give them a turn or two to get them going!
The flight wasn't bad (no nibbles just a drink), we went up and up and then came down and down. Guessed where yet? Well we didn't leave the British Isles, Sterling is used but they do have their own coins which aren't acceptable on the "mainland", they took a hammering during the storm last Monday-Tuesday whilst we were there but apparently it wasn't covered here at home, and what else can I say about them..... petrol's gone up from 50p to 88p!

Guessed it....?

Good afternoon

And so far the afternoon has been.
Things are cheery, not sure if its the extra little bit of sunshine we get, or that things in the house finally look like they've moved towards the finishing posts, or possibly because I managed to get an extra hours kip plus get out to plant some more seeds - that'll be lettuces of various sorts, rocket, spinach, carrots and violas. Chuffed with myself, oh just a little.
I'll admit it's all potted as the actual piece of garden isn't really cleared and ready, I guess also all that planting pots is a way out for me not actually getting round to measuring the garden to actually plan where everything goes... or the dusting.... or clearing out the next room to decorate.
We got a venue and set a date, now its dresses and suits, flowers and cake, oh and not forgetting guests!
I guess I better spend some time plotting and planning things.
