More Blossom Today






More blossom out in the garden today. I do so love these delicate Rock Roses. This is a large shrub and the flowers are only just coming out. I grew it from a cutting.
Today I went to Costco, the cash and carry, only to buy a paddling pool for Oliver. I went as the guest of a friend as I do not have membership there. They had sold out of all their paddling pools so what did I do - went on an unplanned shopping spree. Bulk pack of chicken breasts, a whole salmon, biscuits and sweets, croissants, Danish pastries, bread (we make our own bread in our bread maker), books and some gifts which I had better not mention here as the recipient will probably read this blog before receiving them. I am not safe left in these places. Of course on arrival home the bubble burst a little, as all the food being bulk buys, I then had a boring freezing session.
I'm pleased to say that I did get a paddling pool (not the one I had hoped to get though) later in the day in my home town.
We also had a new television delivered today. We have at last got rid of our large bulky affair and bought a flat screen H.D. ready set. All ready for going digital. The only thing was that the state of the art DVD/VIDEO recorder and the table stand was not delivered. We now have to wait until next week for this as we are going away tomorrow. The company are offering us compensation so that is some consolation.

Barbara,
What a delightful posting. I enjoyed it immensely.....
We have just gotten a flat screen HD tv and cabinet. We are enjoying it.....

As to your posting about not being in sequence...Under your new posting draft this is a 'post option'. Click that and you can change the date to the current date. I learned that after having a posting out of sequence. You can correct the date even now......

Hope you are having a wonderful visit with Janie. I enjoy her blog also.....
