      Not exactly bank holidays, but Sundays we don't do much. Only because hubby doesn't go shopping on that day, so doesn't get the car out the garage. I can't get out into the garden, the car takes up all the room.

        Well - these are the things that have noticed, since I retired last year:

        1 - I don't like 'having to be somewhere at a particular time' - it ruins the whole day;
        2 - I don't like drivers who drive on the centre line;
        3 - I don't like drivers who drive too closely behind me;
        4 - I don't like speeding drivers;
        5 - I don't like drivers who don't indicate;
        6 - I don't like drivers who take up 2 spaces in a car park;
        7 - I am extra critical when filling in on-line surveys.

        Basically, I'm turning slowly into a 'grumpy old sod' - :thumbsup::old::spinning:

                  This afternoon went to see my friend keith. Did some card making and sorting out his die cutters for next time. He's got to get some coloured paper and some mirror card.

                    Woke up this morning to the very sad news that my favourite garden centre was destroyed by a huge fire last night :frown:
                    It had a lovely tropical fish area aswell and even huge koi you could feed for £ 1. :cry3: I was only there yesterday and the children fed them.
                    It was family run so not a big national company. I feel so sorry for the owners and lovely staff.

                      Visited my mum who is now back in the Care Home but on the nursing floor and not the residential one for now, still in some pain and discomfort but gradually improving, enough to be taken down to the self service cafe in the reception area for tea and home made cake!!:smile:

                            I went to the Newark Garden Show yesterday. Not a bad day for £5 entrance fee.

                            We bought a few bits and pieces - things to hang in the tree, bird feeder, a few herbs and some spicy cheeses and sausages.

                            Some things were reasonably priced but I found a lot of things were more expensive than the local markets and garden centres. I was after a specimen plant for a large pot but didn’t manage to pick anything up.

                            A Verbernum Snowball was £20 and a 2”/3” chilli plant was £6.99, which I thought was expensive.
