 My beautiful Mr Lincoln roses and Gerbera's from my garden. 7 roses in the front vase and another 3 on the side board. Very proud of myself  Good Morning Lovely Ladies
Yesterday I went and helped out DMum. For such a tiny little person, she sure does go through groceries, lol. I did the shopping on my way over, then did a few house chores and made her some Salmon Patties (she had some salmon that she wasn't finding appealing, best batch I've ever cooked and I can't eat them lol). I also did a little after Christmas shopping, a few groceries for our household and got a BDay pres for DD16 (about to be 17).
Not much got done around here yesterday. DH did get the clean sheets off the line for me and DD16 managed to spend the day at home and not even get the dishwasher turned on. SOOOOOOOO helpful (NOT!!!!!)
Today I need to get back into my 'Room by Room' taming of this house. This morning I was greeted by a not so 'shiny sink', I went to bed a little earlier last night. I felt I was going to have a relapse of the Gastro, but thankfully it passed without incident and I feel almost normal this morning. I have 2 chickens to cook up, thinking of doing the Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken, but I can only fit 1 chook at a time, so that may be an all day process.
I have been waiting for days for a 'magical moment' like in Mary Poppins. Where the Christmas Decorations decide to march into the spare room and pack themselves away (like the toys in Jane and Michael's bedroom), but NO, this has not happened. So that's my grand plan for today. Plus my 'Room by Room' daily's.
Wishing you all a Super Saturday and a Wonderful Weekend.

Hi Everyone
Shellie- your roses look fantastic. We are having a good year with them too and i love bringing some inside. I’ve never grown gerbers before - i love their colors! Haha with that magical moment!! I think you should get your DDs to help you! -but i know, easier said!! Medusa -yes it helps to get out of the house for a while with a young child. Elasti - i’d forgotten about all that ‘back to school’ shopping- you are organized!
We arrived home last night. It was over 40degrees in S.A and today at home, so too hot to stop and do anything touristy. The car was going well and its air-conditioned so we decided to just put in a big day. We stopped for an hour for lunch and then a couple of hours at a nice country pub for dinner. We got home about 10pm and opened mail and then watched a movie- not one we choose but it just came on TV and we just didn’t move lol so in bed at 1.30 
Today DSil is bringing back my car and might stay for a visit and DGD might stay the night. We will see at the time. Its going to be very hot so Im not expecting to do much. DH wants to net his fruit trees but honestly its ridiculously hot to do that. I won’t be impressed if he starts and then wants me to help!! I did leave the house tidy but we get lots of little flying insects come in thru the flyscreens in hot weather and die on our (light coloured) vinyl at the back door - which is the entrance everyone uses so i need to vacuum that. Theres a bill or 2 that came in the mail so ill pay them. I also need to wash, dry and straighten my hair so i look like my normal self. Im not able to straighten it while traveling so i just tie it back. I will only have one or 2 loads of washing so it will be a pottering sort of day
Have a Great day Everyone!! x x
