Today apparently was the hottest day of the year so far - and it was totally sizzling outside... not that I got to enjoy any of it until 5! LOL
I even bought a tub of ice cream at Aldi and stashed it in my handbag on the drive home. Will be cracking it open later, but when I did get home I opened all the doors and windows out back into my yard and just stood and soaked in the smells and heat of summer weather.
It's still lovely out there but getting a bit cool now.
However, I have taken a few snaps of what is currently growing and alive in my house...
Behold, plant life!
My Aldi basil, bought two weeks ago and still not cooked pasta, but it is looking much healthier if a little singed from the sunlight at the bottom.
The Hebe, soon to go in the trough out front, but for now adding some greenery to the decking.
My lilies in their new home, now just waiting to see which colour comes out first...
The blueberry bush, hopefully it'll survive and offer up some fruit.
And finally, after being re-potted by my dad, the first cherry tomato!
Also I finished this before getting up for work this morning:
I have another of her books so will see if that one is any better. I just really didn't like the twists re characters in this book. Maybe I have read too many Nora Roberts ones to appreciate the nature of this twist, but I anticipated them early on and worried that they'd actually come to fruition - which they did.
Anyway, many more books on the pile so think I shall start the Jill Mansell tonight. :o)
Card a day prompts coming later - no fear!
