Morning... oops afternoon all! Thanks for your wedding anniversary wishes. We did have a lovely day, riding up in the cable car to visit the gardens. Even although it’s not the best season for flowers, there are still plenty around to admire.
To be fair n&g my old boy has organisational skills, but only in the things he sees as important... leaving quite a few areas where my direction is needed! A typical conversation goes like this “but why does it always have to be done your way?” “Well because I’m often right, that’s why”...
....sometimes, just sometimes he will concede.. I’ve been known to say “...now this marriage has lasted xx no of years it would be a shame if it fell apart over xyz..” This afternoon he's off for a Levada Walk. I’d intended to do it too, I enjoyed it 20+ years ago and I remember it as a very enjoyable and manageable walk. But the hotel rep insists it’s very demanding and walking boots are essential for survival, I wore walking sandals last time and planned to do the same again! I suspect I’ll hear later from the old boy that I would have have been fine and be annoyed... hey ho! But on the plus side I get an afternoon to myself, which if I’m absolutely honest I sometimes miss on a holiday!
Good luck with birthday baking stage 2, gd, are you absolutely sure the crumbs of the prototype aren’t suitable for leaving in the corner of the kitchen for us to nibble?
Hope your family bits aren’t too stressful to sort out cg, I’ll leave an agapanthus picture just for you!
Sending good wishes to all poorly folk, especially soop and of course panache
Enjoy your day, whatever it entails xx
A bit odd if it was supposed to be a hot lunch though unless it was toasted as we sometimes do.
back to bed and the paperback, 'The Seagull' by Ann Cleeves.
"the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley" 
will WE learn any thing from the rcent hot weather?
