Mr Strone

It was a lovely sunny day and OH suggested a walk but I wanted to do some more tidying up in the garden.  We cleared another border but I was a bit miffed that he had 'pruned' the penstemons with a hedge trimmer!!

I made some soup for lunch (when we went to V's before Christmas she had made some Minestrone soup - usually I am a 'smooth' soup sort of person but this was delicious so I have made it a few times since).  Healthy eating after the last week's excess.

The afternoon was more paperwork - not sure why everything takes so long.  Booked a weekend break to Madrid for March - No.2 has some work in a show so we are going out for a few days.  Amex card arrived while we were away so paid on that to accumulate Avios points but I'm not totally sure how it all works?  Points make prizes I think and my sister L has managed to get upgrades and 2:1 tickets so seems a good idea, especially if we are going to be planning lots of trips?

Long chat with my brother so dinner was a bit delayed but OH had big headache and needed a lie down after visiting care home - always so hot in there to keep the oldies warm.

Day done and desperately trying to finish my tapestry of the saudi flag in case No.2 visits in April (to be confirmed?)
