Preparations

We’ve got my brother and sister in law coming to stay tomorrow night after we all head to Let’s rock Scotland so it was a day of tidying up and trying to get organised.
In between cleaning showers, emptying bookcases and tackling the ironing I made a banana loaf to use up very overripe bananas and started piling everything we need tomorrow in the dining room. I’m pulling together the picnic for us all and as we’ll be there for 8 or 9 hours I’ve got quite a lot of food organised. It’s a bit naughty but I’ve also got a couple of hip flasks that are now filled with gin as I seem to remember the prices were quite high when we went before. Hope I don’t get searched! 

Nipped into Dalkeith this afternoon to take a dress to the dressmaker for alteration. I bought it in the sales but it’s too big up top, not a problem I thought I’d have but there you go. Hopefully be ready next week. Phin behaved very well walking along the high street and very much enjoyed the knuckle bone we picked up at the pet shop.

I can’t remember the name of this plant we have at the front door but my plant app reckons it is celosia argentea or plumber cockscomb. Whatever it’s called I love the fluffiness! Thanks to BikerBear for hosting FlowerFriday.

Apologies for the lateness posting results for MonoMonday, it was a difficult choice again this week with so many great songs depicted and some excellent monos. I hope you like my choices.
