Good weekend

It was a very nice weekend. It’s the usual stuff…shopping, gardening and finished off with a barbecue. As I was about to tuck into my steak I thought of all the vegetarians in the world and what they’re missing. Having this kind of meat once in a while is great. We even barbecued Sam’s fillet steak and he ate it with gusto. Lovely.
I always hurt on a Sunday because most of the hard graft is done on Saturdays. Yesterday Hubby and I finished off the front lawn by weeding and giving it a new edge. It looks okay now but it will look better after we reseed it now that the weeds are almost gone. Good news too about the clematis. One by one the flowers are coming out. It is a very exciting time of the year. I can’t wait to see them all blooming. That’s one picture I would love to take.
This morning we had breakfast alfresco. For the first time we used the deck in the back garden. We moved the table around and it looks heaps better now. We still need to buy a new table. Maybe next month. It was such a nice morning, the sun was shining and the temperature even allowed us to wear (wait for this) shorts! However, later in the day it misted up and the temperature dropped. Oh well at least we managed to take some really good photos.

I had a pleasant surprise yesterday afternoon. My old university friend called me from America. He sounds so American now but I know he’s still the same guy I knew back in school. I am very fortunate with my friends. I kept in touch with most of them and we’re now scattered all over the world. Then while my friend and I were talking on the phone he informed me that another friend suddenly went online so I ran up to the attic and went online myself. The other friend was in Japan! There we were—one in Japan, another in America and me here in the UK all chatting to each other! Just like old times. It was like we were back in university—all silly, stupid, naughty and having a ball!
I only start feeling my age like tonight when my shoulder muscles are hurting. Speaking of pain, I have been having these violent headaches recently. In fact I had to go home early from work one day last week. These headaches are not like my usual once-in-a-blue-moon migraines where I throw up. These headaches feel as if my head would burst—positively pounding! Anyway, I am keeping my fingers crossed.
