I have got something fabulous in my garden and I feel like showing it off.
Excuse my boasting but I have this amazing ornamental artichoke !! There are two or three more growing up beside it. Tough globes amongst silver fernlike frondy leaves . I love them.
My dogs are both family members and best friends and it will certainly break my heart to say goodbye to them in 3 weeks time. So much of my day revolves around them and no one could ask for better companions. No matter if I am happy or sad they remain constantly by my side, wagging their tails and grinning their doggie grins. Lucy will turn 15 in 4 weeks and as to be expected, she is looking grizzled and more fragile by the week. Of course I must face facts that she may not be around when I return and this is pretty heart wrenching to deal with.
And it is a bad one and of course involves sugar !!
Frozen soft serve yogurt shops are springing up all over the place and I cannot keep out of them. Last night's indulgence consisted of two flavours - coconut and rose with lychee, sprinkled with lychee jelly cubes. I fear the term yogurt is a very loose title for such a confection.
A lovely lady from my home insurance company came today and we trawled through the long list of stolen items. She made the whole claim thing very straightforward. Luckily I had serial numbers and receipts for the bigger items. Smooth sailing with the new for old policy !!
My house looks like a tip and the dogs and I are semi camping. Boxes of household items are piling up in every room and most of the cupboards are empty bar vital domestic necessities. Not a pretty look !! Chaos in fact reigns especially after the break-in this week and the theft of so many of my personal belongings. I really do have to try and keep calm but my brain is often in overdrive as I try to sort out what to pack and what to store plus now I have to deal with police reports and the endless saga of insurance claims.
Slowly and surely, I have been getting a travel company off the ground, offering bespoke tours to Morocco. The website is still a work in progress but there are three pages up for viewing if anyone has a moment and wants to take a look. Feedback is very welcome !! I would love for anyone who is thinking of travelling to Morocco to contact me as I have a wonderful guide and many wonderful tour options on offer to suit all budgets. Morocco is such an amazing country with both snow and desert and so many adventures to be had in between.
Why , when I am buying lovely crispy apples, grown here in Australia, do I put them in a plastic bag made in USA ?? Can't Australia make a plastic bag ??
