A favourite colour combination

 

Good Morning Ladies, 

We have a grey start to the day here,  yesterday was sunshine and cloud, rain came in early evening and stayed most of night, which was a bonus as there was no watering needed.  It's a job that I physically couldn't do as a hose doesn't reach to the veg plot, so I am thankful for a bit of rain.  Although Paul was feeling a bit better yesterday,  which was a good job as he ended up having to go into work,  this is definitely the downside of being the only one capable of doing your job!                                              Poor Sophie got up feeling terrible yesterday morning,  sore throat and congestion etc, so she tested and was also Positive for covid, I cannot get my head around the fact that I sleep next to Paul, kiss him good morning and goodnight and I haven't caught it, yet Sophie who is never closer than 2 or 3 feet away from Paul has caught it, Lucy is also symptom free (well so far), her and soph lay in bed watching shows and playing games so fingers crossed her immunity keeps her healthy!                  Bless her she was devastated yesterday as her and Sophie NEVER get a day off together, they don't usually like them being off at the same time, they had made plans to go out for lunch and go holiday shopping,  covid put pay to all that !!  So she looked at me with her sad eyes and said "Wanna come out with me"  how could I refuse?, I wasn't feeling great so was looking forward to a lazy day.  We didn't go far but my goodness we found an amazing garden centre, its called 'Fosseway' its just in Moreton in the Marsh, about 20 minutes from here, they had an amazing display of Cactus, the biggest I've ever seen, Lucy loves cacti and anything quirky like air plants,  she really wants to set up a terrarium, so I think we spent an hour browsing around there, she ended up upgrading the shopping basket to a wheelchair trolley,  which we made great use of,  well there were loads of plants in the sale area it would have been cruel not to give them a home 😂🤣

I put todays card together when we got home, I used some new dies that I treated myself too, they go perfectly with my Spellbinders Bold Blooms,  these are called Mini blooms.  I took inspiration from the first card I saw (that actually made me want the dies in the first place) it was originally on Spellbinders Blog by a lady called Kim, it was featured in a post about the top 5 card making essentials, the card was picked for the sentiment it used (which I don't have) not for the gorgeous flowers.  The original also was Green & Black, which I wasn't as keen on so I tried it with lime green, Navy & white, I have to say that I just Love it !!!  I grabbed some card from my bit box and die cut a selection of flowers and leaves and arranged them in opposite corners,  my sentiment is a mix up, a SU thanks die and stamped sentiment is from Taylored Expressions 'Simple Strip Sentiments '.   

I hope that you all have a great Thursday,  no bladder clinic this week as we are now on fortnightly treatments, the next one is a week today which will be 1st of August !! 😲

Sending my love and hugs to all of you,
