Sunday Scribbles

Hello everyone,

I hope you`re all having a good weekend. The weather has been really nice here and I`ve been getting a lot of work done in the garden. I`ve pulled up the bedding plants that have seen better days but decided to leave those that still have a lot of life left. I emtied the hanging baskets and many of the containers leaving the way clear to plant the Spring bulbs. As I got so much done yesterday I will give it a miss this afternoon as I have a roast dinner to prepare and cook and perhaps I`ll go dog walking with Jim. I may or may not have mentioned that we`ve had Marshall for the weekend so we went for a long walk yesterday to make sure both dogs were wwell exercised. The only problem is the children next door, well they are teenagers now but very annoying all the same. They keep on calling the dogs, swearing and making barking noises at them. Consequently they have been barking back at them and I`ve had to bring them in from the garden several times. I have asked them to leave them alone which they do...for all of ten minutes before they start again. It`s no use telling the parents as they don`t care what they do so you can understand that I can`t wait for them to sell their house and move. So far no-one wants to pay the asking price for the property and for that I don`t blame them, I wouldn`t pay what they want for it either...sigh.

Apart from that matter I`ve enjoyed the weekend so far and am looking forward to a quiet week. Kerry has a week off work and I won`t have Roman. I will however be going out with them tomorrow afternoon so I will still see them. I must admit I will miss not looking after Roman when Kerry starts working mornings instead of evenings but I`m sure I`ll do my fair share of baby-sitting as and when I`m needed, I can`t imagine life without seeing him.

I know it may seem early but I`m seriously thinking about Christmas. Not the day itself but of buying cards and presents saving me the task of fighting my way through the crowds later on. I lose all enthusiasm if I have to rush things. It will be really nice this year as Kerry wants to be hostess this year and I can be waited on for a change, a luxury for me as it`s something I`m not at all used to.

Jim has arrived home from work and he`s just asked me go walkies in Black Park with the dogs. I think I will as the sun is shining and I`d like to make the most of it before the colder weather sets in. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon my friends. Bye for now. :o)
