Soggy Sunday

Hello dear readers, glad you enjoyed my hair raising story yesterday! Some have asked have I got pictures?  No, who would want a picture of  their hair broken off and discoloured lol. There were pictures taken a couple of months later in Spain but I have put them on my journal previously and they are black and white so do not show the unusual colour and it had also grown by then.

Today is St. George's Day (the patron saint of England) although we do not have a national holiday to celebrate it. No St. Paddy's Day type celebrations for us.  Happy St. George's Day England!

                                    

               

Well, what a difference in the weather.  Yesterday I was basking in the sunshine and my skin is still glowing from it and I already have a slight tan.  I was careful because I had no sun cream in the house.  I actually sent Mike out to buy some so you can blame me for tempting fate because today we have:-

It was wonderful to be outside.  I actually went out to do some gardening but instead I ended up sitting in a chair just relaxing and drinking in the warmth of the sun and the song of the birds.  Spring has suddenly sprung.  From nothing a couple of days ago, trees in our garden are in blossom.  Here is our plum tree

And this is our Amalanchier

The leaves on this tree are copper coloured when they first appear and look stunning against the white blossom.

We did take some of the covers off the pond and tidy up the pond plants.  The rest of the time I watched a beautiful bluetit going in and out of a nest box, so we will have baby birds soon.

I have the t.v. on whilst typing this and am watching and listening to the London Marathon.  I so admire all those that take part for all the different charities, they range through all age groups and how some of them manage to finish the course in the fancy costumes they wear I do not know. Many are running in memory of those they loved and lost. Good luck to them all.

Last night I enjoyed watching Dr. Who.  I must say I like David Tennant in the role.  It is more tongue-in-cheek than it used to be but am I alone in thinking that last night's episode would have been particularly scary to children?  They must be amongst the biggest fans and I know it would have frightened the life out of me seeing something like that werewolf when I was a youngster.  Then I watched "An Audience With Coronation Street" and enjoyed that as well.  Not so much the questions which seemed very staged but all the musical numbers.  It is amazing how many of them have good voices.

As you can see I am waffling because I really do not have a lot to talk about.  Have not seen the family this weekend and it has been very quiet so I think I will disappear and have a nice

I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday.
