[murraymints]

Good Monday morning Birdies xx hope this finds you all well...and rarrrrring to go !!

[lady-janine]

Good morning Minty. Hope you had a reasonable day yesterday. I was thinking of you at this sad time.

[murraymints]

morning Lady xx actually had quite a nice day.. a wee bit sad .. but life has to go on, and it was good to have family with me too ..went on a wee walk and blew the cobwebs away ! how was your day ?

[lady-janine]

Fine. Nothing exciting. Finished sewing up jumper I had knitted but now I'm not sure I like it. Lost temporary crown cleaning my teeth so will have to contact dentist about that today.
That's it - the life of a jet-setter in its full glory.

[murraymints]

OOPS good job you didn't swallow the crown ! I had a temp one once and it was a nightmare, hope it gets sorted soonest. maybe the jumper will grow on you ? or make a nice birthday gift ?

I ended up in IKEA of all places to buy some short vases for daffs and it was soooo busy ! every toddler under the age of 5 was lurking round each corner and booby trapping the aisles !

[lady-janine]

A birthday gift? No, I don't think anyone else would want it.

I've not been to IKEA for years. The nearest one to here is about 115 miles away so i don't pop in very often. Did you get what you wanted?

[murraymints]

think this was the first IKEA to open in Scotland and is a magnet especially at weekends, the girl on cash desk asked me if I had a family loyalty card.. "I try my very best to avoid this place " was my answer ! lol she agreed !
I did ta, when buying flowers for dad at TESCO also grabbed 6 bunches of cut daffs, they are so cheery, then realised I only have long stem vases.. btw the Roses I normally buy are twice the price now because of Valentines Day tomorrow ..ridiculous !

[lady-janine]

How much did you pay for your daffs if you don't mind me asking. We have fields of them down here and I used to go horse riding with a couple who used to work cutting them so i know what the mark up down here is but just wondering if they are more expensive up there.

[murraymints]

£1 for a bunch of 8

[lady-janine]

Same as they are down here and with no air miles. Literally in fields surrounding the supermarket.

[murraymints]

I find them very cheerful but never cut any flowers from the garden so buy them where I can, daffs in gardens are just peeping up at the moment , will be a while before we see that host of Golden Daffodils !

[murraymints]

so now have 3 glass vases for shorter stemmed flowers and tulips etc.. handy to have !

[murraymints]

supposed to be a sunny one here today so hoping to get primulas planted and some tidying up done

[lady-janine]

I need to go and get some bedding plants for the pots by the front door. They make a nice cheery note.

[murraymints]

will reposition the firs in pots at the door.. had fairy lights on them for Christmas

[lady-janine]

We seem to be having a nice chat by ourselves today.
Is no one else up or are we just being ignored?

[murraymints]

Monday morning Lady !

[murraymints]

did not see England rugby yesterday, but see they trounced the Italians !

[lady-janine]

We have a row of 5 inset bulbs going across the kitchen ceiling. One of them needed replacing and I must have done something wrong because they have started flashing as soon as they are turned on. Will have to explore at some point today. They are all led bulbs.

[lady-janine]

Morning Minty.

[murraymints]

one must not be in quite properly ! be careful up the ladder !
