3 things to be cheerful about.

My Dutch irises burst into flower this morning
I slept till quarter to six
I saw this when I walked round my huge garden and it made me smile

I had an unexpected last minute invite to attend the Colonel's Review - the dress rehearsal for Trooping the Colour as my nephew dropped out. It was really good, British pageantry at its best, with lovely weather.
After that I had a lovely Italian lunch with my DB and DSIL
Two things, but a big day out which I will long remember.

1. I mowed the lawn yesterday and trimmed the two small willow trees, a la Monty Don's advice.
2. There are three roses blooming which look lovely.
3. Despite my wearing a dental splint due to a horrible accident five weeks ago I can still enjoy a lovely cup of tea (albeit with a straw) and look forward to its removal next week.

Today is my one day off a week.........hurrah!
I am going to finish some work in the garden, finally done.

Hassle free shopping as everyone's on the beach
Sitting on the patio with the Sunday paper and a plate of buttered toast and a pot of Earl Grey.

1). Seeing my daughters perform in their Theatre groups’ production of The Wind In The Willows - both girls had lead singing parts and were excellent (yes I know I am biased!!) - as were the rest of the cast.
2). Waking up to another bright and breezy day with no rain ?.
3). The promise of being taken out for shopping and lunch - so I don’t have to struggle with public transport in the week.

Bought a bunch of Sweet Williams yesterday from Aldi of all places. Haven't seen any for a long time and was surprised at my own joy of finding them and looking forward to getting them home and into a vase.

Went for lunch at Shrewsbury houseour local community centre, with dh. Watered plants in our communal garden, we have planted up the pots for the summer. Had a nice glass of beer while watching the news.

1. Managed to get the shellac off my nails at last (nails underneath not so good though!)
2. Finished the book I was reading - The Light Between Oceans. Excellent.
3. DH sprayed the weeds for me so that will make sorting the garden a bit easier.

Lovely post..
