Rich is getting our documents ready to send off for my ILR.  I'm trying to stay quiet so not to distract him :P

Really enjoying each activity I did this weekend...
including

having a really nice brunch at Giraffe with Courtney :), and strolling through Harvey Nichols and discovering Vanilla Tea (loose leaf) and Handbaked Organic Ginger Biscuits - really lovely!

Brilliant sunshine this morn & temps forecast to be near (almost) 70 degrees for the next three days (then the forecast is for the weather to get slightly poopy again for the weekend -- poor DH).  Even so, I'll get to hang the wash out on the line! :D

Well done, jennredd! :)

Another unexpected pleasure for me...when we left on holiday (2 1/2 weeks ago) our garden tulips were just wee plants.  Upon arriving home Monday, we had these huge GORGEOUS tulips blooming -- seemingly out of nowhere!  They are deep purple, bright yellow, and yellow/orange ones.  It was simply amazing to get out of the taxi & see those all over our garden! ;D

(And particularly, as I was lamenting when we left Florida...no blooming jasmine, bougainvillea, oleander, hibiscus etc etc 'back home' in England...but the tulips were here to welcome us!)

Receiving some wonderful gifts from UKY members.  Thank you all so much!

Getting a text from Mindy just as I was going to go back home and feel sorry for myself.  She was in town and I pretty much ran all the way to meet her (Well as much as you can run while 9 1/2 month pg and carrying 2 pineapples)  We had a great time chatting with two of her girls.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.
