Shopping ~ and bits

 Well it isn't raining this hard ~ but it is raining and it is cold ~ and the wind is blowing ~ in fact a perfect April day ~

Well it wouldn't surprize me to see penguins walk across the lawn  ~ should be the Easter Bunny but I think he's keeping warm down his burrow ~

Just have a quick taste of my Easter Bunny ~

Yesterday went to Kerry's Pine ~ I love to go shopping there they have all kinds of Knick~Knacks and could spend ages in there just browsing ~ "in fact we did"~ after buying a few odds and ends we crossed the road ~ and headed for what used to be the railway station ~ but is now a cafe ~ had a scone and a sausage roll and sat outside in the garden ~ yes it was a nice day yesterday ~ wherever  did the sunshine go ~

  

Havn't done much to~day a bit of grocery shopping posted a couple of packages ~ read lots of journals ~ Done a bit of dusting ~ Hovering ~ Ironing ~ cooking ~ you know the usual things that help pass the time ~ Tom came to see us and had lunch with him ~ It's his Birthday on the 13th April ~ have got a card and a pressie for him but we will take them round to him on his birthday ~

Well I think Barney wants to play with his ball ~ must keep him happy ~

Okay Ally....  I had to come back and comment!  Thanks for the clarification on what a pressie is!  I'm laughing here because I didn't even think that a "pressie" would be a "present"   DUH!  Yes, I'm feeling very blonde at the moment.  :)
Thanks for thehelp this morning!!

"Scones" rang a bell; they do use that
word in Australia, or did up to 1949 when
I sailed away on the Aorangi, sister ship to
the Mariposa. Instead of "Pressie" the language-
deprived Yanks might just say "Something,"
as in 'I got him something for his birthday.'
"Pressie" implies affection, whereas "Something"
connotes wearisome obligation. Ha ha! Oh
how I dote upon the English.
  Today's paper, I'll have you know, reports
scientists at the lab where the polio vaccine was
developed (well, in the same group of buildings)
have announced that out brains DO continue to
make cells as we age. Folk wisdom had it that
our brains were in a crash dive beginning not long
after birth.

How pretty your journal looks with all the graphics.  Yes, been raining here all afternoon .  Had lots of rain lately but I suppose it will do little towards the drought.

Hi Ally, seems your weather was much like ours today. Thankfully it didn't start raining till I'd finished work so that's a bonus. Easter is looking like it will be as wet and windy as usual.
Roll on June.

I hope Tom has a lovely birthday on thursday. We've had sleet and gales today, what's up with the weather?? I thought Easter might be nice as it's later this year but can't see it warming up now. Jeannette xx

Weather was awful here yesterday too - typical - always is during school holidays = more muddy clothes and more washing for me! Sounds like you had a pretty productive day to me! Happy birthday to Tom for the 13th he's an Aries like me, my birthday's 16th although as the years are flying by I prefer to forget that it'll make me a year older! x
