Pinkers Pink Patio.

Another Gray day that needs filling with PINK .

In stead of looking out to sea to day , to see what we can see , I am confined to the back wondering what to pack . I have tried on this and tried on that . I want something to make me look summery and pretty , incase I see other people on holiday , looking summery and pretty . The bed is covered and I am getting no where , apart from the summery bit ;-) so I have taken to my bed , squashing all the garments.

I have already had a "trying " morning , encouraging my 14 year old to pack up his rucksack for his qualifying Duke of Edinburgh expedition tomorrow . Any one would think it was me that was earning my bronze by having to source this and having to source that . ;-). It seems to be I , that is ticking off the items and worrying about him having all the equipment . The poor lamb is reclining on the sofa exhausted from being a passenger on a trip to town yesterday to buy new go faster, non feet aching walking boots, .
(emmm I felt a bit guilty when I found out that his old ones which I only bought a few weeks ago, and have only been worn twice , were a size 9 and he needed a size 12, GULP BLOOMING BOYS FEET WONT STOP GROWING .)

Still he is on his X box 360 conversing with some one from a foreign land . Ahhhhhh well that must be of some educational value , I hope .
My other cheeky chappie is out making music with a friend , so that leave Mama alone as usual on a flat sunday afternoon wanting some excitement .

I HAVE JUST SEEN IT .A glimmer of excitement . All is not lost with my day .. I feel the corners of my mouth starting to make that upward turn . The turn that adds those laughter lines that we wished we didn't have . ;-)

A wonderland of Pink and Lilac amongst the green weeds on my G&T deck. I think weeds can be wonderful .

Yes I have a deck for serving G&Ts. It is at the back of my cottage because I lose the sun from the front with the view at about 5 ish every afternoon , yet my back deck holds on to the sun until about 9 pm. So a few cans of lilac and pink paint , a few pink solar lights and a white sheep , makes a smile for Pinkers on a gray lazy day .
