Well I never!

Just look what's happened it our downstairs cloakroom whilst we've been on our holibobs!!

I've never had much luck with orchids...I buy them in flower, then they gradually struggle and never flower again......well that was until now :-)

This little beauty has has a new flower spike with about six lovely fat buds waiting to open......how good is that!! In case you can't tell, I'm a little chuffed :-D

Been over to see mum and sis today, they are both struggling with a nasty viral cough, as is BiL too. 1 week, 3 weeks and 5 weeks respectively!!! When I got to mums, she was still in bed, which is not like her.....she'd been awake a lot coughing I think. She rallied but sis and I popped out on our own and left mum in bed for an hour or so.

After a quick sandwich out, we did a bit of grocery shopping then back to mums. She had been up and made herself a sandwich..... but then got back in bed. I think she needed a bit of pampering and attention....she was brighter by the time I left at 6 :-)

Hub has been to the races with our daughter is afternoon, they didn't have a great time, one winner each.......left before the final race, it was chilly and damp too!

We've just had chilli prawns and sea bass, with our homegrown potatoes and stirred tomatoes and mange tout done in chilli oil for dinner, mmmmm!!

If it's drier tomorrow I think a long walk might be in order, fingers crossed!
