Chickenpox... or is it ??

We had it confirmed yesterday Darcy has chickenpox !

The pharmacist did this ... not the doctor.. he wouldn't see her !! scared of catching it I reckon.... so i guess we wait for the itching and scratching, the camomille lotion is at hand !!

Patios, plants and a jungle

I finished painting the fence, and it does look 100 times better !! cedar red or some other colour, it looks like a brand new fence, so i thought, ok, lets buy a climbing rose to cover the fence, so we went to look at some.

Do you know how many types of climbing rose there are !!!

mind you at the garden centre, when you see the staff going around deadheading, and taking the leaves ( a bucket full ) with rust, and black spot leaves, you start to panic !!

I need to tidy the patio though, the dahlia's are taking over I have about 10, but the patio is small , so not sure where they are going to go !

The jungle needs taming ! and with a 1 yr old daughter time is short !!

growing out of music

Today was a sad day !
I have a new cd player in the car, so i play my old cd's on the way to work, ( i have hundreds of cd's ) so many journeys will be covered !!

I love Peter Gabriel, and early Genesis, and i bought ( and forgot about ) the platinum collection of genesis hits, and today i realised that I can't listen to the later stuff, in the 80's & nineties, i loved Phil collins genesis, stuff, but now it seems like background music, this seems sad to me, because the songs do hold a lot of memories, it's just that i have moved so much from those days ! I still like the really early stuff, but I just can not listen to the later stuff, Sorry Phil, it is not personal !!

Always buy two !

Ever bought clothes, and then 6 months after realised that that item of clothing turns out to be your favourite piece of clothing, and they have now discontinued it, so you can't buy another ??

Well I have made this mistake with a t-shirt several years ago, and also with a pair of shoes, so yesterday when i tried on a top, and i have to say, it was good, i thought, well if I like it now, then the chances are in 6 months that I will still like it, so I may as well buy 2 now !

i guess now the only problem is in 6 months i may decide that i do not like it, and then i will be left with 2 of them !! Hahaha

Thank god the tops were in the sale !!
