Good things

Chinese Money plant, I have seen these often in Wilko's and walked past them, this week they were reduced to half price £3.50, I chose this plant as it has a baby and maybe a second growing, the main stem looks healthy as well. I also got a Chocolate Cosmos tuber, I love these plants in a pot outside, but I struggle to keep them over winter, even in the greenhouse. 

My car was due it's MOT, we always take it to the same garage, we used them for over 20 years, the same man is still in charge, we had to have new back brake pads, other than that it sailed through the MOT. We were chatting about if we should update the car, it's 8 years old, I was pleased to see he agreed with me on electric cars, and the way the battery is part of the main floor of the car, which if any problems, would be a huge expense. We have decided to keep the car for a couple more years, see where the technology is going. 

Book 12 this year, good story line, I think it must be part of a set as they referred back to things which has already happened to the main characters, I'm not sure I would want to read another book by this author, a bit to simple with all threads tied in, I don't always want the ending to be so sorted, real life is not that neat. 

I did not need another houseplant, but the challenge of returning the plant back to the beauty it once was, and to grow on 1 or 2 of the babies was there. My desk area is cluttered with plants, I still have space to move, but my side is much greener than hubbies side, as yet hubby has not said anything regarding my new houseplant, he is not a lover of plants inside. 

Thursday we walked around town whilst the car was in the garage, most of the shops I like have now closed in the town, M&S, Robert Dyas, Debenhams. We did wonder around TK Max, B&M and Wilko's and had lunch in a nice cafe, we walked in about 5 minutes after our friends had arrived, so we shared a table, it was good to chat on about any and every thing, a nice surprise meeting. 

We have been purchasing our cat food in tins for over a year, much better for the environment than pouches, tin can be recycled quickly, but we have been struggling to find the brand and type Grace will eat, she is really fussy and will only eat Felix, fishy flavours in jelly. Hubby had a look online, and was struggling, he called a local Pets at Home store, which had the tins in stock, it's not a store we visit often. Friday we drove to the shop and got 2 trays of tins, which will last for ages, the things we do for our pets,  it was next to a Homebase  and Farmfoods store, so we had a look around both stores, I've not been to Homebase for a few years and never in Farmfoods. 

I have been painting my nails brilliant red, they are a nice length, my friend commented on how nice they look, her next comment was 'have you stopped doing house work' I replied yep! but don't tell hubby. It's been a more positive week for me, loads of good things, car has MOT, tax and insurance, at good prices. The sun has shone every day this week, I've been out every day, walking around the garden, the park, I should have no reason to feel blue, but that does not stop it from happening.
