This rose was a miniature one that my son bought for me many years ago for Mothers Day. I planted it in the garden when we moved here and it has flowered ever since. The plant and flowers have also grown so much bigger and I always think of him when I see it outside the front door in bloom. I have had an extremely busy day today and didn't have time to finish all my work before I left for the weekend as I had to be at the hairdressers and I hate leaving things until Monday. However, you can't do everything! I have left myself a note of what I need to do because when I switch off over the weekend, it goes completely out of my head. I think it was because I knew I was going to be pushed for time today that I didn't sleep very well last night. I woke up in the early hours thinking of all the things I had to do and then had a job to get back to sleep. When I did eventually drop off, I didn't want to get up because I felt/feel so tired. Thank goodness it's the weekend and we are going to my daughter's for dinner on Sunday as she wants to thank me for picking up Dylan from school for the past couple of weeks - bless her! We are supposed to be going to watch a rock band tonight which I was looking forward to but I have an awful feeling that once I've had my dinner, I will be asleep in the chair!
It is my sister's birthday today and she has been decidedly quiet lately as I haven't heard from her through emails or anything. Since Mum died we seem to have all drifted apart but she may be on holiday as she usually goes on about 5 or 6 cruises a year so she's hardly ever at home!
