Criss cross and roses

A day of waiting in. MrM was at work, and his parcel - a guitar coming from Japan - was due for delivery today. As luck would have it, our new garden bench was also due to arrive. Neither had an expected eta (oh joy!), so I turned down Anita's invitation to meet this morning for coffee. Maybe just as well though - bouts of uncontrollable coughing aren't a good look, especially in a café!

Thankfully, both items arrived safely, the guitar at lunchtime, and the bench mid-afternoon. MrM and I spent a jolly hour in the front garden assembling the bench this evening. Appropriately it has roses on it - looking forward to sitting on it admiring the roses in the garden as the sun goes down, maybe with a glass of wine at hand...
