Flowers, flowers, flowers

I love that we've now come to the time of year that there are plenty flowers in the garden - even if some of those are dandelions!

May 8th: Now that we've planted this pansy in the flowerbed the slugs are leaving it alone. I love how cheery pansies are, especially in Amy's favourite colour.

May 7th: I love how full the flowerbeds get with bluebells, some blue, a few white.

Up to date!!

Yay, I'm up to date now:).

May 6th: We're lucky to have a lovely deli in our village. We went there to buy lunch as it does a nice baguette. 

May 5th: Just a fun shot. My camera happened to be sitting there, I like the look of the smarties tube and Amy's dolls house behind it.

May 4th: It's great how kids can fall asleep in any position.

May 3rd: It seems windmills are popping up on every hill just now. I quite like them, and liked this view while Peter was driving home. It looks like the windmill field has just been planted!

May 1st and 2nd and erm a few more (part 3)

Final batch!! Now nearly up to date, but I did leave my camera outside yesterday in the rain, so don't want to switch it on to upload the photos until I know it's completely dry!

May 2nd - Now it's sunny we bought Amy a new sunhat. She loves it, and at £1 it was a bargain!

May 1st - Amy was fascinated by the police horses in Glasgow, though we see them quite often as they're stabled just outside our village.

April 30th - Ick, I've got the lurgy, nothing to do but snuggle into the sofa with a cup of tea and a box of hankies.

April 29th - I love watching the peonies. Here this bud is re

ady to turn into a gorgeous showy flower.

April 28th - Our Anniversary, we went to Kelvingrove and saw the Dr Who Exhibition. It was great, though Amy found it too loud.

April 27th - My first completed piece for the UKS Arty Farty Jigsaw Swap.

May 1st and 2nd and erm a few more (part 2)

Seemed a bit unfair to put all the photos in one post! Here's the next batch.

April 26th - A bit of a filler photo, one of Peter's shelves of Transformers. He has many more.

April 25th - Went for a walk round the woods again, love having them on our doorstep!

April 24th - We bought a small pansy, and hadn't got round to planting it in the ground yet. I was shocked when I went out this evening to find a huge number of slugs around it!

April 23rd - WiiFit, Peter bought this on Monday, I've been doing it for a

 few days and it's so much fun! I know I'm overweight, but I do apparently have good balance and flexibility. My WiiFit age was 30 which I'm pleased with!

April 22nd - I pass this house on the way to tutor. It seems a shame it's boarded up, wonder what its history is.

May 1st and 2nd and erm a few more

So, April turned out a bit of a hard month to upload photos, what with my lack of computer, then just being so busy! Here's a few photos to get up to date a bit. Hopefully I'll add the rest at some point.

April 21st - Amy had a ball helping me to wash the garden chairs with a sponge, a brush and lots of bubbles!

April 20th - Yay, weather was nice enough to put out the washing, can you tell I have a little girl in the household?

April 19th - Weather was lovely, so Peter and I went to Dean Castle for a stroll.

April 18th - Amy stayed with my parents, so we were able to repaint the living room, remove all the scuffs.

April 17th - Our noticeboard needs a clear out!

April 16th - Yay, my new Mac is here!

Being paid in eggs

Well, I'm hoping to do a bumper post soon with about 2 weeks worth of photos. My laptop is broken (apart from when it decides to work again), so though I've taken the photos, I've not been having a chance to upload them.

I'll put up today's though, then work through the backlog when my new laptop arrives:D.

I do Physics tutoring, and one of the perks of working in the country is the little extras you sometimes get. Tonight along with my pay I was given a dozen hen eggs as well as a goose egg. I've never actually tried a goose egg, but looking forward to using it to do some baking.

It's April already?

April 4th:

It's been lovely weather the last couple of days, so I (along with the rest of the country) optimistically thought we'd get a good run of sunshine. No, it was not to be, the rain's back. Ah well. This is the view from my bedroom window.

April 3rd:

I have this wall decoration in my kitchen. I made it a couple of years ago using a class by BubblyFunk as part of the Birthday cybercrop on UKScrappers. It makes me smile each time I look at it.

April 2nd:

We went to Edinburgh for the afternoon. The day did not start well, with Peter first taking the wrong car to the station (we needed the car seat to be at the station at the end of the day), then realising that he now also had the buggy. Then Amy and I missed the train up to Glasgow. Luckily one of her friends stays just across from the station so we could pop in for 40 minutes and wait for the next one.

It was all worth it in the end, Edinburgh's a great place. I love the Scott Monument, hence this photo of it. Amy also worked her charm to get some little Lindt bunnies from the lovely ladies in Jenners.

April 1st: After last month's photo of the buds on my flowering currant, here's the follow-up. All the teeny flowers are opening up.
