Mixed bag of bits and bobs

Another week has gone by. The weekend has arrived and so has the rain. Its been a couple of weeks since we had rain and we were just thinking we would have to water the barrels and pots this weekend. Still put us off going for a walk if we had actually gotten ourselves motivated that is! Didn’t even get out of bed until 10am and that just disgusting!

So after such a late rising we decided we had to go out and have breakfast. Another meal where we managed to beat ourselves up about being over weight and “we have to get going with this!”

Then we did the ultimate sin……we went to a garden shop…..its like a drug with us the minute we step inside the building out comes the wallet! and what was it this time well the dahlia bulbs and gladioli bulbs are out! Oh the dahlia’s are just beautiful, deep reds, bright yellows and three varieties with beautiful coloured petals and white tips. So 20 Glad bulbs and 9 dahlia bulbs later we slunk out of the garden centre. We just can not resist! We came home and went into the garage to look at our stash of dahlia bulbs and begonia’s. DD seems to think the dahlia bulbs are a bit to dry so we will have to water them tomorrow. We have stored them in sawdust so wont be to difficult to wet them down again I hope, but I’m not the expert on this DD is, so I shall follow his lead.

We are now thinking of getting rid of the lawn and create another bordered garden in the middle of the other boarded gardens with a pathway between them all. Might take us awhile to get there but once DD thinks it I usually go about making it happen (well getting the material in etc and DD uses his brute strength to create 🙂

The week seemed to crawl this time as DD didn’t come back until Friday when its normally Thursday….but to make up we took the afternoon off and had a late lunch in a cafe at Oriental bay over looking the harbour. It was so nice and relaxing and the most delicious mussel dish between us…yummmmmm.

SAE is at the boyfriends again although she made this huge statement to me this week about spending more time with her girlfriends but I see that hasn’t happened!!!

The BF mothers have come home from a trip to England and Singapore and apparently want to have a video evening tomorrow and want SAE to be there as they apparently mention her in the video. She has obviously made a hit with the mums that’s for sure. I do know of couples who have been together for absolute years starting from when they were teenagers going to school, I do wonder if SAE is going to end up being like this?? A good thing or a bad thing, so hard to say as everyone is different. For me it was a bad thing to have met ex-DH early in life at 18 married at 19, divorced at 35. I personally don’t recommend it but would never force that on SAE. One of my biggest regrets about the ex was that I never listened to my Mum who tried to make me slow down in the relationship I wish now I had!! Oh well if I wasn’t the person I am today and went through the things I did I would never have met DD, so bad start to a great ending is how I see it 🙂

Just a bit of rambling today diary, till next time
