WARMER WEDNESDAY

 

Pink azalea with colours inverted

Hello Everyone.....it`s Wednesday at last,  Kerry`s coming home....  yippee!  Jim will be collecting her from the airport at around 6pm.  Her flight lands at Heathrow at 5.20 and she will call us when she can.  We only live 20mins away so he`ll just jump in the car and go and get her.  I`m going to make her a nice dinner , as much as she likes Russian food, it`s not quite like a western diet and very different from what we are used to.  Danny told us that when he was there for Kerry`s wedding he hardly ate at all.  Cold cabbage, beetroot and mayonnaise soup didn`t exactly tempt his appetite.  It isn`t possible to drink the water as there is so much bacteria, parasites and `heavy metals` in it.  Read into that what you will! 

The weather has improved very slightly today, though still very windy it is a bit warmer, and the forecast for Friday is for very warm weather indeed....hmm..we shall have to wait and see.  I decided after taking Jake for his walk, that I would have my morning coffee sitting on the garden bench.  I just love sitting there, weather permitting as it is so peaceful and I can just relax and look around, usually with Jake`s head firmly in my lap!  I can`t wait for the jasmines and summer clematis`s to flower.  As most of the plants in the garden are fairly young, it will be a couple of years before we see them at their best.  Still, I can wait, it is something for me to look forward too, as long as Jake doesn`t get it into his head to dig them up!

Last evening, I came downstairs because I could hear a loud crunching noise. I found Jake with what was left of a small garden ornament in his mouth.  It WAS a little badger that sat in an outside planter....not any more it`s not, it was almost beyond recognition. In fact I`m surprised that he didn`t break any teeth......daft animal!

I`m off now as Jim is home and Jake is ready for another walk.  Have a great day and take care.
