Usually, when I get given a potted rose, the leaves dry up and die within days, but I've had this quite a while now, and although the flowers could nearly do with dead-heading, I'm quite chuffed that it still has nearly all it's leaves and they look quite healthy. You watch, they'll all shrivel and die by tomorrow, now that I've said that!

I'm waiting for Paul to wake up at the moment, so that he can help me move his wardrobe and then I can get on with painting the blue wall. He was out at Field Day yesterday and didn't get back until very late so not sure what time he'll surface. In the meantime, I've got another square to produce for the embroidery project, which I'm late with again - it should've been sent on to the next person by now. And I've already received the one for next month too! Puts me to shame.
