May Day

The plan goes like this:

- coffee - because the day must always start with coffee first.

- contact with the in laws regarding dinner plans.... - no thank you to the pork loin - our taste buds are hankering for something different - homemade beef/ italian sausage burgers with some greek salad - yes to the strawberries... that will be perfect

- they are coming for dinner so we can create an "in case the river overflows the dike and we are forced to evacuate and go live in a campsite for up to a month" plan

- contemplate the weather and the gardens - need to do some serious weeding of the front garden - as the garden in in the FRONT and I am certain the neighbours are mumbling to themselves about the new owners who can't seem to get the garden under control ... our back yard could also use some work. We have pruned the old lavender back severely as per our friend Susan's suggestion... but some more pruning is required. I love working in that garden because of the scent - my hands smell like lavender and I hate to wash them. But, first the front.

- my parents will pop by for a quick coffee and hello on their way home

- some food supplies for the week must be bought

- some laundry must be done

- my kitchen floor really could use a wash

- some prep for parish council meeting is also required

- and if the sun does shine for a few minutes in the afternoon - I shall drink wine in my garden
