I've been enjoying these last couple of days, have got 3 days off work, worked over the weekend and I don't go back til Thursday afternoon. This week I work Thursday evening, then Friday, have the weekend off, back Monday and then off on Tuesday. Tuesday is Australia Day and I requested not to work that day. After that I don't know about yet, but starting the 30th I have 2 weeks vacation, so looking forward to that. I'm hoping to talk Mum and Dad into visiting his sister in the country and tagging along for a few days, I so need to get to the country.
Went to Flower Power today and wandered around looking for plants, wanted plants thing that attract birds and/or bees. Bought 5 plants, Cuphea mexicana compact - Mauve Mad Hatter. I'm using them to border a corner bed out the front. I dug the holes for each of them then set about planting them, as I planted the 3rd one a bee made an appearance. These days bees are a rarity, I noticed the bee paid no attention the plants but went straight to areas I had watered before flying off. A few minutes later it (or another returned), again went for wet areas before flying off. It returned 5 times with the same interval, then on the 6th time 2 turned up, they arrived together and left together. Poor things must have been thirsty.
Wandered through the homewares section and found some gorgeous plates, I've been after a new dinner set and loved these plates. They were 75% off, I bought 8 plates and 2 platters. There were no side plates left so I am on the look out for something that will contrast. All up they cost me $26.50. I liked buying them this way because I don't end up with cups and saucers that don't get used. When I carried them in Thomas wanted to know why I bought "good" plates, even David liked them which is saying a lot.
