Shirley plus one

Last year they were Mauve. I like Shirley,  but Mauve was my favourite.
Awaiting for the baby to make an appearance,  no not in labour, in his souped up Hyundai. He has an appointment  with the lads tomorrow.  First one in a long time and one of them is a Dad now, so it's  been a big year on more ways than Covid.
We are here for bed and breakfast.  Ru is still away house and cat sitting  again with Nicky and we just sit on Star. Talking of whom is definitely  a bit better with her new food and probiotic.  I think it's all psychosomatic, but I'm  fine. ( See last night's blip).
Ally did the hair cut on the front hedge, but I refused to cut my front bush. Anyway  it's a foot shorter and the house is lighter by the same amount.
Australian Masterchef saw me get all cheffy and griddle a criss cross pattern on the pork chops tonight.  Not had them in ages and they went well with the spiced apple chutney from last year and the potatoes  from the garden. YUM, as they say in the southern hemisphere... apparently.
