Flamingos to Lean On

So Many beautiful flamingo cushions

Flamingos Everywhere

Flamingos are popping up everywhere I look. Cushions, scarves, tops and zoos.

A Sign of Changing Fortune?

We are now at birthday plus one week and nothing really changes. I've applied for jobs, been rejected from jobs but continue the process just in case. Today I've been browsing bargains which is one of my favourite hobbies and look what I found:

I know a flamingo is not normally blue but it is very beautiful. I shall go and see it in the shop and find out how magnificent it truly is. I will then decide whether to wait for a discount. This normally means that I wait so long that my item goes out of stock. We shall see.

Happy Birthday to Me

It is nearly that time of year when the calendar clicks one day forward and I will be another year older.

In case I had forgotten the date various websites are starting to remind me and bestowing me with gifts that money cannot buy. Today's emails included:

• 10 points from PG tips for their Cuppa Club. As the monkey suggested I had a browse but nothing took my fancy.
• Brewer's Fayre would like to invite me in for a free meal. Not much of a celebration on my own though is it?
• One of my survey sites, knowing that I can sometimes be less than prompt in my responses just sent me this:

I will look foward to my present.

In the Greenhouse

At the risk of sounding like my Mother, there is something quite satisfying about potting up your geraniums in the greenhouse. Especially when it is pouring with rain.

24 tiny geraniums set out in the post on the 28th April and arrived  on 7th May. They all looked either weedy or past it. In my usual spirit of optimism I have put them all in pots - they are so tiny that 3 fit in each pot so they have company and can encourage each other to grow.
