Getting back into the swing

This morning I went along to the shops early and saw the man in the second hand shop. The blanket box is now fully paid for and as I have to be in for other deliveries tomorrow, and for the washing machine to be fixed, he says he will bring it then.
Rob came to do some pruning and clearing all the stuff we have pruned away. We can now see the mahonia clearly as it was being swamped by another shrub. Not the best photo, my camera has got temperamental in certain lights these days.

There are pink flowers appearing in the garden now and it won't be long before we have some daffodils.

Looks like I will get at least one flower on each of the magnolia trees I bought last year and the willow is looking healthier too.

I was going to put something out the back, and through the window I thought that a suicidal frog had decided to come and be a sitting target for Blue. But when I went out to remove it to safety I soon realised that it was dead!

I do like cats most of the time but have always hated the playing and killing, a major downside for me.
When I went up onto the street to be picked up for the craft group there was a lorry parked right near our entrance, luckily it moved just before the lady giving me the lift arrived.

About seven of us at the craft group, next month I am taking a turn at hosting it which will be good. I had bought a hand lettering book a couple of months back, not using calligraphy pens but some fine tip pens, brush pens and even felt pens. I tried a couple of alphabets with the fine tip pens and one with a brush pen.

Doreen dropped me off before the traffic lights rather than turn into Newbegin so I walked past the churchyard, looking very colourful now.

Then past the hole in the road that is still there from when they were trying to get the power reconnected!

I will clear a space for the blanket box and then settle down to a couple of tv programs that I watch regularly.
