Life has been rather cruel to us lately but we have lots of kind friends and family - these were the first of four flower deliveries that arrived today.

We've had our vacuum cleaner for almost ten years now, but after sucking up lots of my hair during that time it is finally starting to lose suction and so this afternoon we went to look at the new Dyson hoover in the shop. Good job we did as it is mini (the adverts say it can fit on a piece of A4 paper) and the drum would probably be full in minutes in our house!

Rather excitingly our new bench was delivered a week early this morning - good job my mum was visiting and able to receive it!

The newspapers do frequently report ridiculous stories and this one this morning about a 'nose' attachment to enable you to use your smart phone in the bath was no exception! It did make me smile though!

Saw this rather nice picture whilst waiting in hospital today - it's basically honeysuckle flowers but there was some debate between Mr W and myself about some of the leaf combinations looking like bunny rabbits!

A while ago my parents gave us some garden vouchers, so today we finally went to garden centre to spend them - we ordered a bench but whilst we were there we also bought a mini table for our drinks when we make camp in the garden!

I'm slightly worried that Mr W is becoming obsessed about the dandelions in our lawn - he spent ages the other weekend digging up dandelions and then he was at it again this afternoon. He threatened to do the same with the daisies but I managed to persuade him that may be futile!
