It Needed Watering..........

 
We are checking the new(ish) rose bed daily as more and more buds are opening up. The plants are all looking strong and healthy, great eh? 
Hubby needed to clear the excess plant from the pond. He always leaves heaps of wet stuff on the side so hidden frogs and insects can escape before it goes into the compost bin. Unfortunately the netting has a large hole in it now, so another job on his to-do list. 
Saturday afternoon-evening we were dog sitting. Fortunately the day before I asked Son what time he was coming and he'd forgotten all about it. They have tickets for Twelfth Night performed in Regent's Park open air theatre and a speedy rearrange meant their tickets weren't wasted. 
Monday another hot and sunny coffee morning outside. 

Our evening was meeting friendsL&K and friendsL&M for dinner in Chelmsford (sort of half way between us). The pub had their quiz night going which thankfully wasn't too loud to spoil our conversation but unfortunately just loud enough to hear bits of questions which were distracting hahaha.

Tuesday lunchtime the xBT team from work met in our favourite pub. Just three team members this time (we were only five but L died almost a year ago and R was unwell) B and I brought our spouses so a table of five and lots to chat about.  

Thursday and the second day of almost constant rain. I didn't bother getting dressed till nearly lunchtime and while up there managed a token bit of ironing, but really it's a good day for reading a book. This was passed on to me quite a while ago
Interesting but it's slow going as it's printed in a tiny font. I'm on page 206 of 307 so a few more rainy days will help. 

And then the sun came out and Hubby is already mowing and bagging what won't fit in the compost bins to take to the tip. 
I'd better show some action too, so I'll sign off for now.
