This week doing things ♥☺

Hello there, been hooking this blanket along and think it will stay at our city pad once complete ☺☺ I prefer black/grey/purple but well this is ok.........

Woody has had a bit of a relaxing time back home 

but on Tuesday we headed down to visit my youngest grandies and had lunch along the way.....nice prawn/avocado dish for me 

pork rib burger for him, but he left the bun out ☺☺

and here we are with Mr Cooper and Miss April ♥♥

so cute and lovely spending time with them and I even took them both on a walk to a nearby park......

April loves taking a selfie with my mobile ☺

she loved the swing and I forgot to take snap of Cooper......

but here he is chilling in the pusher while April went on the slide......no pics of THAT!!! Granny was worried she may fall of the ladder steps, but she does it all by herself with me having a fit lol 

and she loved the see-saw too......we had a lovely cup of coffee and then headed to out city pad.......

and here is a sugar skull my Rex gave me for my birthday with a battery t-light candle in it....Paul bought me that and I love how it looks......

here it is with lights on but candle still turned on ☺☺

We were supposed to see Rex for a night meal but he was too crook so will catch up with him maybe next week for his belated birthday ♥♥

back home we came today (Thursday) and I have been planning for weeks to trim the herbs in my garden.......you could hardly walk through here till I did this......nice and trim with a Magpie just near the shed in the shade 

a little zoom in and looked like it was cleaning up some spiders along the shed door......eek 

My massive Rosemary is nicely trimmed back and all the herbs along here with the rhubarb in the centre.....

on the other side is that crazy aloe vera plant and some peppermint/sage is growing again.....sipping peppermint tea right now lol 

and the other herbal bed is all trimmed back off the grass, nice edging 

I love these hot pink (pig face) flowers....great cover to keep weeds back ☺☺

lemons are growing crazily among some spider webs.......

and that Magpie sang a little tune to the parrots in the distance......lovely weather finally here with many more warm days over this coming weekend ☺☺

May you be doing something you enjoy and thanks again for dropping by xoxoxo

Another catchup post

Hello out there, been a few weeks since I posted.....whoops....this is a label I have for wrapping around something that I made for my older sister for her bday......need to see her sometime ☺

watched a great railway journey show which featured "the flying Scotsman" which we were lucky to see last year when we were in the UK......going again this year and wonder where it will be this time ♥

when we caught up with Pauls boy and wife and I gave them this blanket that I crocheted for them.....they were very happy with it ☺☺and sent me this pic ♥

we have had a few trees trimmed!!! lol more than a trim but they grow back and need hacking back every couple of years.....birds not happy 

in the back garden......last weekend (22nd may) we headed back to our city joint as were going to a concert ☺

Kasey Chambers Kasey_Chambers info......waiting for the music to start....

I even wore my new ankle boots lol  I have been a big fan of Kaseys for ever and love her country music style with plenty of upbeat happening too 

best I could get with my mobile as it did not like the bright lights lol 

ditto 

but got to share this pic taken by someone else.....her Dad Bill is on the far left...good night it was 

and on the Sunday I had my dearest best friends 60th.....a drinks, canapes and music evening 

they had caterers cooking and serving some delish food.....her hubby Mark is in the black shirt 

and here is Melanie chatting with another friend ♥♥

her brother in the middle came and I have also known him all my life ☺

it was great under this gazebo....and Melanie's son Rory is in the white shirt 

great happy gathering and we sure had plenty of chatting happening all over the place 

the best I could get when she made her little speech of thanks ♥♥

chatting with her bro 

and us.....friends since 1957

a hug goodbye and thanks for an awesome night 

I think Paul had taken enough snaps lol  we caught a bus/train/tram back to the city 

on Monday we decided to go to the IMAX about_imax  and watch on the massive screen a 3D movie with David Attenborough on the London museum....it was fantastic.....

and Tuesday back on the train home we go.....in the last carriage 

and we faced backwards ♥

and it rained along the way.....2hr journey

and look can see the tracks whizzing along......I was happy lol 

now back home and relaxing with Midsomer murders 

catching up on some crochet/knitting/sewing and of course washing clothes lol
