Anemones

Another week gone by in a blur, really wish I could find the slow down switch to life!  It has been a week of car repairs for us.  My Scenic has been playing up for a few weeks now and Mick has been trying to work out what the problem was, the mpg was decreasing every time I drove it (which is every day!!) anyway after racking his and his dad's brains and abit of googling he narrowed it down to two possibilities.  The first one didn't work but thankfully the second one did and on it's test drive the mpg went from 44.3 to 50.3 - so as you can imagine I shall be a very happy lassie from now on and so will my purse, not so many trips to the petrol station in the future.

My Anemones are opening now so naturally had to take the odd photo or two and share them with you.

  4. I think you are doing it on purpose to prove my 'not so keen on flower pics' comment a travesty. ....you know I love anemones and the pics are Fab! Know what you mean about the slow button, that's why blogging is good, at least we note even the mundane things and can see what we did that month or week which seemed to speed by!

  9. Hi there - I had to have a bit of a smile at the improvement in my MIL's health over your two comments!

    Hope all is well - I know it has been cold in the UK - but I assume you have missed the worst of it.

    Cheers - Stewart M
