Today I went and picked up Bean's Mum from the airport. She's on her way to Switzerland for her Mum's 80th and staying overnight in Wellington. While I was at Otago, Bean's family really looked after me and I always like having the chance to look after them.
I picked her up and we had lunch in town. Then we drove to my parent's house to visit them. My Dad just got back from his sojourn in Dafur, so it was really good to see him. He dashed out to go look at some cars, but arranged to see us later at my house. We sat down and had tea with Mum and while talking Mum got to *mention* how overweight I am... Rockin'!!! I always *love* that, so did not deal with it very well.
Anywhoo, we eventually made it over to my house and was showing Mama Bean around and we ended up doing gardening! Dad came over and joined in too! We managed to do a fair amount and she gave me lots of advice and it was good. I'm really pleased that we did some stuff. Apparently I have lots of good plants amongst all that grass. I now really need a lawnmower, some round up, a spade and fertiliser.
I know my garden will grow well as it has had a blood sacrifice. I got a 1cm splinter in my thumb! Muggle managed to pull it out with tweezers. Not much fun, but I get to wear a "devil Duck" plaster! Thanks Zephfle!
