Tea Roses?

Absolutely nothing was coming up roses today apart from these ones that I passed coming home. And they're already up so I guess that doesn't count. These might be tea roses, my mum's favourite, but I can't be sure. They're really wee, just don't look that way in the pic.

First, Jim the painter went AWOL again so we're really running behind schedule, then it was perishing on the way to work (that's good enough for a moan in my book) where out of nothing a pile of work magically appeared at my elbow! Better than being quiet but all the same! And to top it off, tomorrow's golf has been cancelled. Grrrr!!
