Very hot and humid today so I have just finished an hour of Pilates online which was lovely. It’s fakeaway Friday so chef. Ason is in the kitchen making a curry. Yum.Happy weekend to all.

It is hard to keep an animal quiet and relaxed when they feel well enough to play.<br />I bet Phoebe is excited about her move to the 'big school'. It is a real turning point for them.<br />How lovely to be enjoying your own-grown veggies. I used to love that.<br />And your flowers are all beautiful as usual. What a lovely mix you have in your garden.<br />Kate xmamapez5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16882819450456050281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-18642084596555844242020-08-07T14:33:56.187+01:002020-08-07T14:33:56.187+01:00I always give a sigh of contentment after reading ...I always give a sigh of contentment after reading your smiles Annie.

Good for Sam to learn how to sew and what a good mom he has to teach him. I wish our kids could go back to school. I see all those back backs in the stores and just wonder who is going to buy them all if everything here is virtual?! Blessings to Poppy for quick healing. So many beautiful blooms ~ Wonderful to see ~ Enjoy the weekend!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250864616416074503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-40049552039269132192020-08-07T13:47:34.676+01:002020-08-07T13:47:34.676+01:00Oh your garden is so beautiful.

Enjoy!<br />Congratulations on your first peas (and beans). Don't they taste much better?!<br />It's a pleasure seeing the children developing and enjoying their hobbies. What a joy. Phoebe's school stuff is wonderful. Most girls go through a pink phase (and some girls never grow out of it!)<br />Well done Sam for learning how to use a sewing machine. And I marvel at Lexi the Flexi! She is unbelievable! And you used to be able to do that? I am seriously impressed!<br />Wishing you a great weekend,<br />(are you having a heat wave too? They have one in Holland)<br />Hugs,<br />LiscaLiscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-71884428415792310602020-08-07T13:10:31.182+01:002020-08-07T13:10:31.182+01:00Hi Annie.

I had to smile at Sam on the sewing machine as I always found the boys loved the machines at school. I had one boy who was so good that he used to almost take over the lesson. If their were other pupils having problems he would fix it while I got on with other stuff the only problem was trying to get him off them! I think it was one of the few things he was really good at in school and got great satisfaction from knowing it but so many secondary schools have almost stopped technology subjects like these as they are expensive to run. Hope Poppy gets over her operation okay, Maisie and Stan send best wishes and doggie hugs, Angela xXxFelix the Crafty Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275183935291510409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-80617213528727632232020-08-07T09:18:26.211+01:002020-08-07T09:18:26.211+01:00Ah - those flowers are beautiful - and so are thos...Ah - those flowers are beautiful - and so are those lovely gran children.

When I was a child, I made my allowance by changing oil, spark plugs, and filters in my Grandfather's cars. Today, you have to have a Ph.D. to work on the new cars (grin).<br /><br />Poor Poppy. I hope she comes through this OK. I am sure Amy and her husband had to take a second mortgage on their home to pay for that operation (JUST SLIGHTLY JOKING).<br /><br />Your garden is looking good and your flowers are simply amazing. Have a safe and happy Friday and weekend, too.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
