Hyacinth

day 37 009

A real snapshot here of the bargain hyacith I picked up at B&Q last night when I was looking at bathroom worktops.  We found a whole tray of violas, a rosemary plant and some primroses and our whole bill came to £2, including this hyacinth.  Oh, I love a bargain.  You can see one of last week’s tulips popping in, they are all open and floppy, just beautiful.

Week Four.  Joining in the ‘nature in the home’ series with Lou at little green shed.

Did you spot today’s news?  We have walls and ceilings!  They are looking good and the plasterers are due fairly soon to smooth out those walls and make it ready for lots and lots of white paint. Underground the infrastructure of pipes and drains are ready to receive the shower and I’d better order the tiles soon.  The upstairs bathroom is what we’re planning now and we are nearly there, I’ll be ordering it all up tomorrow.  We need also to decide on a worktop for the downstairs bathroom.  Our choice is laminate, corian type, maia or simply tiling the surface too.  I’m off to the lovely B&Q very soon to have a look very soon.

The runners did very well despite horrendous conditions, especially F on Saturday.  The half marathon time was just amazing at 1 hour 50.  A new personal best by 8 minutes, very impressive.

Day Thirty-Five

Monday again,  I thought it might brighten up your day a little to see this tulip from my Mothers’ Day bunch.  It’s so fully in bloom it couldn’t possibly open any further.

Zzzzzzzzz  very little happened today here, Mark did a short stint as a one man band and the shower tray is in place but we’re not allowed to walk on it. Afraid that’s all folks.
