QUIETLY DAY BY DAY

Good Monday morning, we have sunshine this morning WOW!! The carrot & sweet potato soup was nice but my system didn't like it, went thru me like a dose of salts, one I will not do again. We have had a lot of rain over the weekend so life has been pretty quiet but I must admit I am enjoying it. Mum has been making lots of flowers from the sizzix die I bought her so she has been kept out of mischief LOL!! Off to cook lunch ( roast chicken vegies & gravy with vegie slice for tea Yummy ) Val XXX
