What's on your agenda for today?

Ooh, Merlin, weave your spell! It is a little known fact that mermaids are fond of vodka. Add some fresh fruit and clotted cream, and I am putty in your hands, sigh. Lol :love_heart:

A drunken mermaid I have yet to experience, so fresh fruit and clotted cream is yours, just give me time to perform my alchemy on the dried fruit in the cupboard and milk in the fridge, and I will meet you on your rock :love_heart:

Enjoy your rest, April.

Thank you. :)

This picture I took made me think of you. I'm going to find a better one, my camera gave out on me, guess that'll happen when you drop it three or more times in a row, but, I was able to get it back working today, so I uploaded a few pics, this one one I cropped to try to get a better look at the mermaid near the helm of the boat.

April: Your pictures are really terrific; the one showing the boat with the mermaid was very unique because you don't find mermaids very often. I'm not a very good picture taker which is why I don't download more of them but just got a new camera so as soon as I figure out how it works, I'll try to improve my skills. My daughter takes great pictures with her SLR and her iPhone. I'd like to share some of those but not sure if that's OK.

Merlin: I love your flower pics! It would be like heaven to have a meadow full of bluebells nearby! Your clematis pic was great; mine haven't begun to flower but I'm hopeful!
 
Thanks April, great photos, your camera seems to have a hard life being dropped a lot, sounds like abuse to me :bigwink:
The camera I have at the moment registers if it has been dropped, and gives a message on screen asking for it to be reset :confused:

Thanks Kath I love the delicate scent of bluebells, .........the clematis family is so varied which is what I like about them, I do get confused at times about the different flowering/pruning regimes and have lost flowers some seasons by doing the wrong prune :confused:

Holly, you remind me of the energizer bunny. (Please don't eat him), lol. Most people can't put in twelve hour work days without wanting to collapse, even if they have a good back. To go out afterwards, yikes my blonde wonder woman, no wonder you get tired! I would need to mainline caffeine to have your get up and go girl.:love_heart:

LOL..it has been said many times by people who know me about how much energy I have and where I get it from.., (an incidentally I rarely drink coffee) :D sadly currently (unintended pun) the Duracell battery has drained from me...another bout of hospital treatment soon,:( but hopefully my upcoming holiday to Spain to see my daughter- son-in-law and my adored grandfurkids will reinstate my energy again. Fortunately at the moment work is being very kind to me and allowing me to just work 2 or 3 days out of the week..until things improve...but thank you lovely fishy friend for your positive words.. :love_heart:
 
Nothing on the horizon today except gotta pop out later and pick up some new Cargo Longies for my o/h for our holiday..I'm not back to work until Wednesday so I have the time where he hasn't..but even if he had he would go buck naked before going to the shops to buy himself clothing..lol
 
April, we are all coming to visit at your new house! Partaaaayyy!

Merlin, we've got tons of bluebells everywhere now! Love 'em.

Some of our back garden this morning:

Annie, the garden is exquisite, I especially love the little steps. I want to live at the bottom of your garden, like a fishy little faerie, or perhaps a Selkie. Sigh.

Thanks! :) Hubby is great gardener. He built those steps, another set of steps, and the ponds/waterfalls which are to the left of the above photo. Oops, out of focus, but you get the idea.

Annie, thanks for the beautiful pictures. Do you have any handkerchief trees near you? The last time I visited my friends in Ipswich, they showed me one and I was amazed. When it's blooming, the tree looks like it has little handkerchiefs all over it. I've never seen them in the U.S.

We don't have any but there are some in the botanic gardens near us. I've got a photo of it in my Flickr albums somewhere.
