Another Week Already!

Hello Everyone,

I can`t believe it`s been a week since my last entry,  I thought it was just a few days ago. Oh well, time passes when you`re having fun so they say. Only I`ve not been having fun at all really. The family crises is still very much in evidence and I still can`t tell you about it for the moment...but I will, of that you can be sure.

I`ve been in an awful mood for most of the week and I`ve no idea why. I`ve gone from being very irratable and snappy to everyone to downright tearful though I feel a bit better today. It hasn`t helped that I`ve had difficulting sleepy all week, that is, more like not being able to go back to sleep once I`ve woken up. It can be really hard waking at 4.30am when you have to get up for work at 6. Anyway, I`ve caught up on my sleep this weekend and I should be fighting fit for work tomorrow, well not exactly fighting fit but with enough energy to do my job...lol!

I finished the planting yesterday and I am very pleased with the garden now. Jim has done all the weeding for me this morning so there is nothing left for me to do for a couple of days at least, apart from some dead heading. On Friday I bought myself another orchid.......I know..lol!   It WAS half price before my discount so I just had to buy it and I had no intention of buying another this month. What happened was that I went into the houseplant section with the intention of buying a couple of pots for my existing orchids. However....I just happened to glace across to the 50% off table and that was it..... Anyway I haven`t got a white one and this one is in excellent condition with lots of new growth, plus the flowers that are covering one of the spikes. I`ll take a photo so you can see for yourself. Oh dear, I think I do protest too much...lol!

I had Roman all week as Kerry had her days off at the weekend. He seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds and he just doesn`t stop talking. It`s Nanna this and Nanna that. He has recently spotted my hanging basket that I grow strawberries in, now it`s "Nanna strawberries!" and he usually gets one a day (after I`ve washed them that is!).  He is still a little darling but he certainly tires me out these days, this afternoon Slava brought him round and he and Danny went for a quck drink. Roman wanted me to push him around in his little wheel barrow. Something I could easily do a couple of months ago but he`s far too big for me now. He wasn`t at all impressed and was starting to get quite cross when he was distracted by a pigeon that landed in the tree, crisis over he was soon his happy little self again as he kept calling "Nanna, penguin!"   ....lol!

Jim and I have our visas for Russia and they look really impressive too. We can`t understand what they say but they look very official I can tell you. I know we have a fortnight but I`m starting to plan what to pack for the week. The weather is really nice at the moment but I`m going prepared for anything the weather will throw at us, just in case. It will be very strange not having dark nights but I`m sure we`ll get used to it. On night we`re going on a midnight cruise along the river though it will still be light. Mind you it should be easier to spot the mosquitos that are out in droves at this time of the year, I for one will spend much of the time covered in insect repellent or I`ll get eaten alive by the things. As we`re staying in Slava`s sister`s apartment in a highrise we won`t have to worry about being bitten there, Slava says for some reason they don`t fly that high...lol!

Anyway my friends, I`m off now, have a lovely evening and I`ll be back again soon. Bye for now and take care. :o)

 

Thanks to Indigo for sending me this lovely name tag.
