Flora day

A bit of a strange day. I thought about clearing leaves but it started to rain, was windy and pretty cold. The gas man was due for the yearly check, he was here ages in the end as not only the boiler and the cooker but also three gas fires. He was finding problems and being left on hold when trying to order parts or check in at his office. I had a bread mix which has been on the side for a long time so made some cheese and onion rolls, they didn’t rise too well but Tina and I ate them for our lunch and I even gave one to the gas man as he was still here when I was getting lunch!

Yesterday I moved the hyacinth bulbs out of the dark cupboard as they are shooting now, maybe flowering in time to give people at Christmas.

Scrabble club day today so I put the Super Scrabble into the trolley to take it with me, the house ai was going to is a twenty minute or so walk away. When I set out it was cold an hailing and that turned into drizzle. Three of us played on the big board and three on a regular game board. We only had one game and it took getting on for three hours, including the ta break! The other ladies had two games and finished before us. Didn’t leave until getting on for five and then walked to Tesco before making my way home. The streets are really dark around here at night!

A while ago I ‘rescued’ a rather poorly begonia plant from a garden centre. It is flourishing and has beautiful flowers.

I borrowed some dies from Ellie yesterday and she gave me some sparkly card. I have nothing to show for it as I had several attempts and just couldn’t get them to cut properly. I may try again with different card or paper.

Holby tonight, was a very dramatic ending last week!
