THE WEEK THAT WAS

It's been a busier week than normal here...believe me, you do not want to be bored by the details but here are some of the 'highlights':


TWO(!) AGMs


one of the AGM's was our own.....as you can see AGMs are the same the world over!

A book read


an absolutely delightful book...I would definitely recommend this one!

Took the photographs for ZIZO...and promptly forgot to write the blogpost!

ZOOMING OUT


a dead-looking plant in a pot

 BUT

ZOOMING IN.....


...I am reminded how wonderful nature is!

PLAYED CANDY CRUSH SAGA 


....and got to LEVEL 201!!!



DID NOT COMMENT/READ MANY BLOGS!!.....for that I apologise and hope to rectify it tonight, so look out for me!


I do hope you've seen some sunshine this last week..it's most certainly very springlike here;



the blossom on the apricot tree is out....


...and the Magnolia is just about to bloom...happy days!!

As I said, I'm hoping to get round some blogs tonight...if I don't get to you I'll be calling in at some point this week!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  3. I just read that book too! Happy to say Spring is here too, who would guess that this time last year we still had more snow to come?

  6. I love your Zoom In, Zoom Out photos- I've been finding similar things in our yard here, as well! Need to remember to take the pictures of them, though. Are apricot blossoms scented?? (never thought about where apricots came from before, actually- lol!)

  13. Yay for signs of spring and new life. I haven't been commenting much either - although mainly due to technical difficulties. I don't think my iPad like commenting on blogs!!

  14. A nice potpourri post if ever there was one. I'm trying to get around blogland too - just not much time this month. Hope to be back much sooner.

  16. I am sometimes tempted to complain how ordinary and ordered (boring) my life is (every work day is pretty much the same as the next), but I remind myself that it is the ordinary that provides the structure and security of life. That is what struck me about this post--I appreciate that you celebrate the ordinary-ness.
