Good morning Stringers 

 

Yesterday was exhausting so only got to attend to some email and that was the extent of my association with the computer!

 

Don't feel like it but I have promised to do some cooking for a party we are going to this evening.  Actually, given the forecast today would rather be staying at home rather than driving up into the hills.

 

The wind here would blow a dog off a rusty chain 

 

Hope you are feeling better today Prim - you need a clear head to sort out all that computer garbage lol

 

Have a happy day all - hopefully will catch up tomorrow

 

 

 

 

Happy cooking Laney. I am cooking too. I have invited DD and SIL over for a BBQ for Father's Day. We don't usually do something for the boys but as we usually go to lunch for the mums, I thought it was time to make them special for a day 🙂

Thanks for the reminder to fix my smoke alarm.. I forgot already. It has a button and it's quite big, but bashing it whilst being deafened wasn't the answer lol

Wow what a gorgeous day we're having here >We've just been sunning ourselves on the veranda with a coffee, taking a break from doing some work on my car

 

We're heading to Mum & Dad's for afternoon tea tomorrow Prim, I've got cakes

GD just remembered she has to be ready to go to a Pink concert by 5pm tomorrow so I have to have lunch ready very early as it is a long way from my home to theirs and travel will take up much of the day.

 

I have prepared as much as I can tonight, let's hope I can get the rest ready in time. I have a lemon cake in the oven and it smells divine. All meat and seafood is marinating, fruit platter prepared, and salads made. I bet I don't sleep tonight LOL

Hello everyone!

 

My day was nice. Went to Bunnings and bought two Ranunculus in little pots so I can plant them and pretend I grew them and that's why I have pretty flowers. Also bought a potted Jasmine because although I am babying my current Jasmine, I think it hates me and will die/not flower just to be a bitch.

 

Planted a new rose bush last weekend - a Double Delight - it has 4 out of 5 perfume bottles coloured in on the little tag and I want roses with perfume. Why are the bunches of roses at the supermarkets pretty with no scent?

 

I also bought a lemon tree which I am IN LOVE with! A Meyer lemon tree. It has flowers and mini lemons growing on it already. The flowers smell divine.

 

 

I love the scent of lemon blossoms, Buzz... and citrus leaves.

GD will be very excited going to see Pink. If they had comfy recliner lounges at the back of the stadium, I wouldn't mind going. I'm a bit too old so I'll watch video clips on rage instead lol

Buzz, you are going to have a very perfumed garden 🙂

 

How old is the lemon tree?  I only ask because I have a vague recollection that very young trees need the lemons removed so the roots have a chance to develop well and if the lemons are left they use up the nourishment.

 

I like the vibrancy of the colours in ranunculas, your garden will be very pretty.

 

You snuk in there Karen but I was able to edit just in time.  Recliner sounds the way to go 🙂

 

Buzz, they seem to have sadly bred the scent out of a lot of roses. I hope that one has a nice perfume for you, I know the rose, but i can't remember if it has a scent or not.

 

Rose and lemon scented geraniums are good for a perfumed garden

Go Tiges!

 

that's all i want to say 

 

night everyone

Good morning Stringsters 🙂

 

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads and wishing fond memories to those who no longer have their dads with them.

 

We have perfect BBQ weather here so, so far so good.

 

Have a great day everyone and warm hugs to those who need them.
