Mandi came up to see me today and took me shopping!!!! Spent more money than I should have - but what's new? I blame Asda because it's their fault for putting the special offers on and I may not actually need them today, but I will use them in the future - like teabags, cling film, air freshners etc...............

Anyway when we'd come home and had lovely bacon baps for lunch we decided to go out onto the driveway and soak up some sun. I was horrified to see that the damn weeds had dared to show their faces on the driveway - how dare they!!!!!!!!!!! LOL



The last couple of days with some rain has really got them going - well I got them really going this afternoon and now that part of the driveway is looking clear again!!!!

While we were sitting there chatting, I also noticed that the purple toadflax was really enticing some lovely butterflies........



And the mombretia called to the bees...............



Look at his tiny feet all curved up!!!

I took another picture of the mombretia and it wasn't until I put it on the computer, did I realise I'd captured another creature enjoying itself on the flower...........



Don't ask me what it is - I haven't a clue - now it looks like a prawn, but as I'm a long way from the sea, I somehow don't think it is................. LOL



Some more lilies are getting ready to bloom and I think these are either pink or white ones - or even pink & white ones - can't remember so it's fun waiting to see.

Mandi and I have worked out that 8 weeks today we will be flying out to Turkey and she will at last be reunited with her hubby Dogan. I just love watching her talking about him - she's so animated and giggles and laughs when she relates something they've said to each other, or thinks about things she can do to him - they are both big jokers, that it's such a pleasure. Can't wait to see them together.

Okay that's about all for today - just thought I'd give you a quick recap of today's work. I did do a lot of weeding while we were talking! Can't just sit there now can I?
