God I must be getting old...a bit of a 'twee' post for week 27...and a lovely image of a flower!
This week we had a few viewers for the house so on the way home I nipped into Morrisons (other large supermarkets are available) to pick up some flowers for the hallway. I grabbed a bunch of cheap priced scented lillies and popped them in a vase.
Now I, like most women, love flowers but this week I think my appreciation for the joy they can bring has taken on a new level. Waking up every morning and opening my bedroom door to the smell of the gorgeous lillies really did brighten up my day. In fact I began to make a habit of offering to be 'the fetcher of things from the kitchen' so I could just walk past them and get a whiff... what's happening to me!
I think if I said one more time 'WOW those flowers just smell gorgeous and they were only £4 from Morrisons' Paul might have killed me. I'm hoping he has taken the hint and although the flowers lasted a full 7 days (in fact they were still making the bin smell gorgeous once I ditched them!) I'm expecting a new bunch to appear in the vase VERY soon.
So from one extreme to the other. We headed up to T in the Park on Sunday to catch one of our favourite bands from days gone by, PULP. Unfortunately we didn't bring the sun back with us from Barcelona and it poured down for the majority of the time we were there. No biggie if you are drunk, already wet and muddy... but being sober, pregnant and feeling the beginnings of a cold, it probably wasn't the best idea to go.
So as some of you may know we decided to take one last holiday together (for a while anyway!) before our new addition arrives and decided on Barcelona. It was a fantastic break and just what we both needed.
