Indigo Iris

I was true to my word and in bed not long after 10.30...... woke just after 4, the birds were just stirring, as day was breaking. I did go back to sleep, woke up at 6.15 and from then on just dozed and tossed and turned until I got up just after 8! I did have a few tears before I got up......just feeling a bit sorry for myself :-/

Decided to have porridge for breakfast with some raspberries and blueberries scattered on top, with a cup of tea.

Forced myself to walk in to town, as not had much exercise lately with all the rain. Got a biethday present, a couple of cards and a coffee.......settled myself at a table outside and rang my sis in law for a catch up chat. By the time we had finished, id drank my coffee, my hands were freezing, so I needed to get moving.....walked home at pace!

Decided it was time to clean the inside of the car, I have been hearing hubs voice in my head, nagging me to get it done lol ;-) he would never have let it get so messy! Anyhow its spic and span now! Cleaned all the insides of the windows too.

A quick scrambled eggs on toast cor my lunch before poppong round to D&Es nextdoor, as they had invited me to join them on a little gardening expedition.......two lovely little nurseries visited resulting in some plants being bought obviously ;-) A third stop for coffee and cake too! We chatted about hub quite a bit, none of us are finding it easy to accept whats happened even six weeks on, still doesnt seem real :-(

We didnt get back until 5.30....... put the plants into the back garden on the decking near the patio doors, for shelter. I also bought a couple of new bird feeders, which I filled and hung up, then I pottered, swept, emptied some spent compost onto the back border, binned a tree root, and before I knew it, it was 7pm! Pleased to say I have clocked up over 11k steps today!! Took this blip whilst I was pottering, hadnt noticed these irises were open, not sure how, considering their fabulous colour!! Had to be for Flower Friday.

No tea again, just some cheese and crackers with cherry tomatoes, and a slice of malt loaf.
Watched some tv tonight, wrapped 3 birthday presents up, ready to take them tomorrow to other DiL and Olivia & Isabella, whose birthdays are also in May!

Off to bed shortly, wish you all a nice & safe weekend.
