Starfish Sunday

[Doggedly]

LOL, trissie, considering how often I lose things in my apartment, I should be inured to the frustrations of playing hide and seek with FedEx. I see that you have played your own round of hide and seek with shoes. WTG on succeeding!

Hello, everyone!

FFB, I hope you enjoyed your tea in the garden with Mr NG. Unfortunately, I'm not the person to give advice about soft drinks.. I don't drink alcohol, but I don't drink many soft drinks either, ( they're either too sweet, or have artificial sweeteners that my stomach can't tolerate, or.contaim.something.else undesirable) , so I usually just request water. My friends are all used to it by now!

Trissie, that's a lovely, sweet fact about sea otters . I'm glad you enjoyed the party.

I hope the rain stops for DDog's walk, KitKat.

I hope you had a nice walk with your friend, L.Ann.

Harriet, thank you for the book recommendation. I shall see if our library stocks it.

Helia, access for emergency vehicles is always provided during these events , and there are also some "access points" ( so I could get down to vet in an emergency), but it's just too much of a headache trying to find a route otherwise. On a brighter note,. today's lunch was roast lamb, roast potatoes, gravy, mint jelly,.carrots.tenderstem broccoli and green beans, followed by lemon posset, blueberries and cream.

Dogged, wishing you success in your wrestling with FedEx!

Laura, is it usual for you to have a frost this late in May?

This morning I did strip the bed right down and change all the protectors as well as the usual sheets. I also gave the bedroom a good clean. When lunch was in the oven I walked to the shop to buy a birthday card for DF HT who we are seeing tomorrow afternoon. It was hot out,. but a lovely dry heat. Trissie is right though, we did indeed hit 30 C earlier,.and I wouldn't want to be running in that! This evening I want to water the garden, once the sun has gone round.

Gym class and dog walking and laundry done--WTG, kitkat!

That is hotter than we picture an English summer, kitkat! We are enjoying spring here: 19 C and raining. I don't mind waiting for the heat.
I remember my second mother's roast lamb with mint sauce. I'm sure that your lunch was delicious.
WTG on stripping the bed. That's a big one.

I'm sorry that your DD33 is not interested in seeing the poppy fields, L.Ann. It sounds like a lovely outing.

You started a rhubarb revolution, kitkat!
That sounds like a pretty outing, L Ann. So, DD33 isn't going with you?
Yum, Kitty, that sounds scrumptious!! Glad you do have emergency access.
Doggedly, did you get your FedEx delivery?
Did you bake today, trissie? Or is it too hot? You have quite the list of garden and outside tasks this weekend. Did you make good progress?
I hope the tomato plants recover, Lauralind. I think we're just about at the last frost date here.

Thinking I haven't see Peaches for a long time. Did she make the move here with us? I hope she's OK.

I'm currently at a coffee shop with dh. I should do some payroll, but I don't really feel like working. I might make lists and read a book instead. Dh and I got home from church around 12:35. I had lunch, cleaned up after lunch, and went for a walk.

Not a peep from FedEx yet, helia. After I've eaten, I'm going to take the recycling down and do a little tour of the main floor to check that they haven't delivered it and not updated the information.
I don't think that I've heard from Peaches since we moved here.
Enjoy the coffee shop! It sounds like a nice weekend outing
