A day of rest? Says who?

Don't really know where today has gone, Great Little Nanny Mero came over today, we collected her at around noon. The curtain lady arrived and fitted our lounge curtains, and we did some shopping in Brandon. What's the relevance of all that I hear you ask, and a good question it is too.

Now, if you're expecting a profound and sage like answer, then prepare to be disappointed because I don't know.

I am sure though, that if young Coco could talk she would say that every visit with Great Little Nanny Mero is an experience, yep, have to agree with that, seeing hailstones for the first time was exciting too, mmm another agreeable statement although didn't think much of the one that went down my back brrrrrr, building compost castles in the potting shed with Mummy and I, another first, even for me.

Maybe I am looking at this whole life thing through the wrong set of eyes, if I look at everything as if I have only just seen it for the first time then it brings up a whole new exciting and forgiving world, every day!  Coco doesn't bear a grudge today because the Rich Tea biscuits ran out yesterday, (she has one for supper with warm milk) because someone ate them all.  No names but, Nanny Southwellski and Nicky Perkins you know who you are!!!!

Nope, no blame from Coco just excitement because she had something else.  In fact she had a fortune cookie, I know call me a bad Grandpa but she really enjoyed it and she had not long eaten a huge portion of Nanny Southwellski's Toad in the hole, minus toad!

Anyway to get to the chase, the fortune cookie had its little piece of paper in it and it read 'If you love and are loved back its like the sun shining on you from both sides'.

I look at my family, and realise that the sun is not only shining on me from both sides, but front, back, top, bottom and inside as well. How rich am I?

Anyway, we finished digging the first plot today and sowed our sunflower seeds, morning glory and sweetpeas in the potting shed as well, and a few minutes ago when I went over to turn the heater on in the potting shed I looked up at the stars and stood in wonder at how small and unimportant we really are.
