Garden Girl Blog

It is raining again... I was out in the garden for about an hour just after lunch and got very wet, had thought it was going to be okay today but seems not.  Now raining sideways, the husband is going to be a bit wet after the ride home on his motorbike... the joys of Scotland! 

Puss went back to the vet for a check up and all is well, she is even officially allowed out now!

Flower shop van just arrived with a beautiful bunch of flowers from Puss.  Such a thoughtful and wonderful cat... or should that be husband.. Okay I take it all back, he did remember! :-) 

It is strange how just a phone call can change your mood.  A friend who I do not talk to that much, and should talk to more, who often is not happy about how much.. or little money she has just rang to say happy birthday.  We both talked about our recent holidays which mainly involved from her details of how her kids bowel habits and me thinking, glad I do not have kids, but it was nice. She made an effort to be happy and chatty and I now feel in a really good mood after that! 

Note to self - ring people on their birthday it is a really nice thing to do!

I am now off to dance with the dyson and will have a new spring in my step!

I am sure this morning the husband had forgotten it was my birthday.  He got up just before me and when I arrived downstairs with my cards in my hand ready to open he did not say anything and then almost as an after thought said ‘happy birthday’.  Maybe he was just still asleep, he takes a while to get going in the morning!

I know that I said to him I did not want anything, mainly because he had not got me anything and said he did not know what to get, but it is not that nice receiving nothing from him today.  He never knows what to get me but I always think I am easy to please, does this mean he does not really know me or that he is just really disorganised and does not think of it in advance.  I feel I am one of those people that you could buy a book, some flowers or some bubble bath and I would be more than happy.  There is a small risk that if the bubble bath gives me thrush (which has happened in the past) it will then be used to clean the loo, but I will still enjoy the nice smell!

He also had the cheek to ask if 'we' had remembered to send his sister a card for her birthday!  Of course 'I' had!

Anyway enough moaning on my birthday, I am off to do the house work!
