Turning 51
I bought myself some Aster flowers a couple of weeks ago and took some pictures. Have I said lately how much I love flowers? :))
Today I turned 51 - yes 51!!!!
Can you believe it.?
Actually to be honest I'm not too bothered by the number.
I've had a great couple of days. Yesterday afternoon I went out with my sis-in-law for cocktails. Now some of you may remember we did this last year as well. I think we may just have started a new yearly ritual, lol

I had a strawberry and apple cosmopolitan (well I actually had 2) and I have to say they were delicious. So we had a good blether for a couple of hours and then Danny picked me up and we went out for dinner.
Great, no cooking and no dishes - suited me just fine I can tell you :)
After dinner we went for a lovely walk along the beach front. A great way to finish the day.

Today, Karen, Danny and I went to Hobbycraft (a crafting shop). I have to say Karen was in her element :))
I got some great prezzies today.
Laura got me a bicycle computer which measures all sorts of things like speed, calories and the like. Emma got me a DVD of Lady and the Tramp - you know the disney movie!!
There is a story attached to this.
When Emma was a nipper we had a video of it. Well she pulled the tape out of the cassette totally ruining the film. Well you have to know that was my favourite disney film.
So she made it all ok again by buying the dvd, we are going to watch it tonight :))

And Karen did something really special for me and I am so tickled with it.
Do you remember I took pictures of boats at Irvine harbour, well she took this picture off my computer and got it printed onto canvas and framed for me. It is now in it's place of pride hanging on my wall.
Have I said lately that I have the greatest most thoughtful daughters - 'cause I really do!!!!
