DOUBLE DIGITS

 

FIRST thing for today, it is Archer's birthday.

He hits DOUBLE DIGITS... the big TEN.

HAPPY TENTH BIRTHDAY ARCHER

Today, seeing as my leg held up really well yesterday at the Gardens, I'm off for an FBG walk.

I am going to only do a 'half' today, not going to push it for now.

There will be a morning tea chat afterwards, so it will be a nice way to spend some time this morning.

When I get home, I'm going to buy an Azalea to replace the one I'm taking out of our garden.

I bought a 'Princess Maud' Azalea a couple of years ago, in memory of my Mum.  I have never seen another one.  So, I'm taking it with me.  The new owners will be none the wiser.

ABOVE:  Once a month I refill my pill dispenser.  Yesterday I filled it and thought.... the next time I fill this, we will be in our new home!  It's taken so much longer than I anticipated to say that.

Two weeks and 5 days to go.

And that is all I've got on my agenda for now... so I'll catch ya later.

12.13 pm.  Was it a good idea going for a walk after doing two hours in the Hamilton Gardens yesterday?

Probably not.

I was pretty sore by the time I'd done my small part of the walk this morning.

Maybe I'll wait a bit longer to do another one.  😕😔

I went to Mitre 10 first thing this morning and bought the replacement Azalea.  Now I'm waiting for Lacy to come over to help me get the big pot out of the pool area, so I can put my Princess Maud Azalea in it.

While I wait, I'll have some lunch. 

ABOVE:  Lacy arrived and she hauled that big pot out of the Pool area like it was nothing!

It's now out in the rockery (for now), and Princess Maud is safely planted in it.  She will now stay there till we move.  And I think she will live in that pot from now on.

ANOTHER BIG TICK.

I planted the new Azalea in the rockery, and she looks just fine. It is another pretty pink one too. 

5.06 pm:  I'm a twit.  I forgot to hit 'Publish' again.

Oh well...more to add now.

We are joining Steve, Bex and the kids for Birthday Cake this evening.

ABOVE: Big smiles, and a really yummy Birthday Cake.

Home now, and looking forward to an early night.  I can't stop yawning!  

I'm hoping to get a decent night's sleep.
