Random, Random

 


I almost lost this beautiful pot of Primroses the other day due to the heat in the back garden.  Luckily I spotted the droopage just in time and gave the poor plant a drink.  Now, as it's roasting outside again today I  have to remember to water all the pots, especially the Lupins, they all have huge flower buds on just ready to open ... I do love Lupins.  💚

This isn't what you expect to find on the draining board is it!!

I had my car washed the other day, the first time in almost a year ... there are perks to having a battleship grey vehicle ... and when I got home I noticed my rear number plate was holding on by a whisker.  It's been a bit loose for a while, and no wonder, when I touched behind it all the sticky had gone from the sticky pads.

I tried all the shops around town that might sell the adhesive pads or rolls of tape that you use to re-attach number plates, but no luck.  So I had to use Amazon, this is always my last resort these days.  Hopefully, I'll be all legal again by tonight, with my number plate back in place for all to see.  In the meantime I have my chauffeur Alan to ferry me around. 😁


We called to M&S after we had visited Mum on Monday for some necessary supplies for both of us.

It's a good job we are happy to share the cost.  😄

Poor M&S they are having such a bad time with all things 'computer' at the moment aren't they.  Even the tills have come out in protest.

  1. Translating your receipt was challenging. Still can't fathom Tastebuds Baby (maybe once I get my new glasses it will become clear) Mice without What?

    1. 'Tastebuds Baby', I'm pretty sure that's the baby peppers and 'Mice Without What' is the made without milk chocolate bars. No babies or mice were consumed in my meals. :-)

  2. So I'm not the only one fascinated by other people's shopping then!

    1. It's amazing how many emails I get if I don't share a shopping photo once in a while. It seems we nearly all like looking at other peoples shopping ... I refuse to call it a haul though!! ;-)

  3. Thank you for the photo of the primroses. A lovely memory. I lived in England until I was 12 years old and I picked bunches of them with my friends. I would always take a bunch to my grand dad and my grand aunt.

    1. So was I, I felt really guilty when they went all droopy. 😞 I do wonder sometimes if I am being repetitive with the photos of shopping. But it is good to have a record of food prices ... that is when they are actually visible on the receipt. 😄

  5. Isn't it daft for the car manufacturers to rely on sticky pads for these things. I didn't realise that my wing mirror glass relied on sticky pads until one fell off whilst stationary and smashed on the road :0/

    Your plant pots look gorgeous, very healthy!

    1. I had a check on whether I should have the number plate screwed on instead of stuck, but seemingly the police recommend the sticky pads method as it's harder for someone to steal your plates to misuse them in a crime. So sticky pads it is, and it now has the recommended seven instead of the four original ones.
