KitKat, thank you, you're very kind. It's been grey and overcast this morning, but brightening up now, with even some
. I've been doing indoor tasks this morning, including baking flapjack for the Y next week (I had forgotten it was my turn, and I won't have time tomorrow with going out in the evening). Bama, I hope DH's appointment goes well.
Harriet, I think peonies sprout from thick swollen roots (tubers?) and they're *very* fussy about planting depth. I don't have the cat free space to bring on tender annuals indoors, but this year I'm experimenting with direct sowing Virginia stock in the area ( temporarily!) vacated by the forget-me-nots. The early signs are promising!
This morning I've dusted and tidied the bedroom, dusted and hoovered the sitting room, played with Matilda, taken Freddie out, put a few stitches in the neck of my dress that I want to wear to the meal tomorrow evening (the keyhole neck was rather too low), and cleared up where one of the Girls was sick (fortunately on the free newspaper that came with the groceries).
I was interrupted in all this by the JWs, who had evidently decided that a Friday morning was the perfect time to call on people, and that our estate was well overdue for a mass visit. So as well as K (my usual visitor) and her (female) mentor, I could see a whole "field service group" distributing themselves around the neighbourhood. After I had greeted them politely, they asked if I was busy, so I replied truthfully that yes, I was, as l'd just cleared up a pile of cat vomit, and now I was putting a few stitches in the neckline of a dress, as I didn't want my underwear showing when I wore it!!
You can probably imagine the reaction! So, today I have learned that the JWs apparently do not mention their "unmentionables" in polite company.I've made my flapjack for the Y and while the oven was on, I made a coffee cake for us. When that's out of the oven I'll go for my walk and post that card , and then I'll have an afternoon in my garden.
