Friday flowers


Tip-toe-ing through some beautiful red tulips at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens the other day. They're planted in front of the beautiful old conservatory (which was full of orchids) and there's sweet peas growing on trellis behind them. Must get my sweet peas in my garden very soon.


What a tiring week and it's not over yet as I'm working all weekend. Yesterday the cornice dudes turned up unexpectedly at 7.45am to see if we'd like the cornice in the room done. Uhh, ok then....I might just get out of my pj's and wash my hair. They didn't seem to mind.
The cornice looks great and we'll get it painted over the weekend. The floors are scheduled in for Tuesday so that will be exciting.
Have a lovely weekend, whatever you guys do.

  11. Tradesmen are a law unto themselves I think! But love your term: the cornice dudes - conjures up all sorts of images! Hope the weekend goes well.
