25th April Changing of minds.
Today has been a day of changing our minds.
I checked the weather forecast for the weekend - oh wonderful we can expect sunshine tomorrow; but guess what? The heavy rain will be back on Sunday and it hardly seems worth expecting to sell at a car boot sale in the pouring rain. So, we have changed our minds.
Shame - I am impatient to be rid of as much as possible and to have boxes and space ready for the last day of May when we start to move things from Rocking Horse.
I finished sorting all that we have at home in the garage today - and there it must sit until we are free and the weather is fine.
Later Bill changed his mind about video recorders. You may recall that we bought one just 2 days ago. It wasn't actually doing all that it should do - could that be the fault of the machine or our inability to make sense of the gobbledygook language of instructions?
Anyway Tescos took it back.
And now he has a 110 page book of instructions for the new machine - a combination DVD and video player/recorder with a large hard drive.
Ha! We can now return to the good old days and have guests round and have them see our photographs on the TV screen, just like the slide shows that we all used to have.
Perhaps tomorrow morning Bill will attempt to set it up.
This afternoon he cut the lawns.
Here is one part of the front garden as seen from the bedroom window, It is always a delight to peer through the curtains and watch the changes of the seasons and to see which birds are early visitors and feeders. It is really beginning to look lush green now as the trees burst into leaf.
There were no birds to be seen when I took this photo because Bill was still busy mowing grass in the gardens on either side of us.
Tomorrow afternoon we will be back at the track for a women's league match.
In the promised sunshine it could be very pleasant.
Have a good weekend wherever you are.
