Lustrious Lilac

Did my stretches before bed then slept for a solid 9 hours last night!!!

Felt a little easier when I got up.....but as the morning progressed could feel it again. Anyhow we sat in the garden to eat our breakfast, the sun was lovely! Then readied ourselves to go to see youngest and his wife at their house, not been there in six months!
We had our first hugs too which was lovely :-)

They are still mid a garden project and redecorating their dining room, but the rest of the house is looking lovely now. We sat outside chatting for a couple of hours, then went inside for a lovely lunch, which included calorie free scones, with strawberries and clotted cream! Back outside afterwards, for another hour or so, until the flying ants put in an appearance, which after a little while, forced us inside, by which time it was 4.30! We said we should make tracks, but by the time we actually left it was almost 5.45!!! No idea where those 5 hours went!

Son has needed to reduce his working hours slightly to help with the strain and pressure on his eyes. His employer has been really good about it, they have reduced his case load, are also getting him two larger monitor screens which should help aswell. DiL was made redundant 2/3 weeks ago, so she is looking for something else now...trying times for many :-/

Once we got home, we had another hour sat in the sun in our garden, the flying ants had followed us :-/ The incoming clouds soon built up and the temperature dipped quickly so we headed in doors. I did snap a few shots before the sun disappeared......the second flush of flowers on his lovely lilac geranium have just started to open. I think they look lovely with the sun shining through their petals.

Just a light dinner this evening, I finished off the vegetable tagine with couscos, hub had cheese and biscuits. We are now finishing odd the last of the red wine from last night ;-)

Forecast for tomorrow is rain :-(
Have a good week everyone, stay safe
