Still Waiting.......

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  The weather is nice and sunny at the moment but apparently it`s not supposed to last......nothing new there then! I had a lovely lie-in this morning but as is always the case I find I`m in the rush getting the housework finished before the afternoon but I did get finished sooner than expected so I could spend some time in the garden. I`ve pruned all the roses except one. The red climber doesn`t need anything done to it at all so I`ll have to see if anything needs doing come Spring. One of them looked really straggly so I`ve pruned it right back, it should grow into a better shape now and another one I have redirected along garden wire and should look much tidier than it does now. After I`d done that I cleared everything away and come back inside as there isn`t much to do out there now, just a few bits of summer bedding to pull up once it`s stopped flowering, I still have a basket of petunias that are showing no sign of dying off!

As I told you my car went into the garage yesterday to have the sunroof fixed.....oh dear, what a fiasco that was. We arrived there eventually, the traffic was horrendous yesterday morning and I thought I`d be late for work despite leaving 45 minutes early. Once there they told me that they were going to INVESTIGATE it to see if there was a leak.  Jim said there was nothing to investigate and there was a very bad leak..."we have to investigate" said the boy of about 12 at the service desk. Later in the afternoon Jim rang them to see if we could collect the car...."we rang you at 1.50 but you didn`t answer the phone"...."No you didn`t," said Jim "we were home then and the phone didn`t ring"......"yes we did"     "no you didn`t"   and so it went on!  Eventually they agreed to differ and we went to collect a car that stilled leaked. It needs a new sunroof as the present one has a bent frame and the whole thing has to be replaced. It should arrive by next friday and is booked in for Monday 22nd when the work should be completed without charge.....I should think so too, I`ve become quite the expert at covering my roof at night so not a drop gets through the sunroof....sigh.

This afternoon we`re looking after Roman while his daddy goes to a company dinner and Kerry is at work. They gave me a lovely box of chocolates for my trouble, which they didn`t have to do but it was very sweet of them. Earlier I gave Danny a playful slap and Roman burst into tears and was really upset with me. "Don`t slap Danny!" he said between sobs. " Oh darling are you cross with me?" says I " Yes Nana, cross!" he said. I had to give Danny a big cuddle  to convince Roman there wasn`t a problem and he cheered up completely after that. "Better not slap me again Mother" says Dan, "Just wait until later says I!"  lol!

Anyway, that`s it for today my friends. For those of you who watch Strictly Come Dancing it`s the turn of the ladies this evening, should be good! :o)
