I can't think of a catchy title lol.





So I'm thinking I should shift. To an apartment. With lots of concrete and no greenery. Because then my eyes, throat, and ears wouldn't be itching. And my nose wouldn't be streaming. And then I could sleep all night. I'll add it to the list, along with the three day weekends...lol. The up side of these strong warm winds that are whipping all the pollen around, is that the washing is dried in about ten minutes - I kid you not. Of course it does take about a hundred pegs to hold it on the line...but hey it's worth it.

As for the photos...With the great cold winters here, peony roses grow beautifully and there are heaps of roadside stalls out our way that sell them for a dollar a stem - how can you resist?...hence the photo. At the moment we have some gorgeous pink ones in Donna's bedroom and a verigated cream and aubergine in the lounge. I've always wanted to get a shot of the moon over the mountains and while this isn't a great shot by any stretch, it's another memory added to my blog. On the blog because I'd never print it out and use it lol. And of course there's me and my hubby enjoying the spa. Yep, it's back up and running. I just can't go out in it if it's too windy. No fun then.

So I've just been busy working and sticking eye drops in my eyes, (and the odd matchstick to keep them open). I've popped into my scrapping room a couple of times. Two layouts for SP challenges and one just for fun, and to use one of Neen's kits. I want to buy more of them, but since I've got about six of them that I haven't used (because of the 'that's too nice, I think I'll save it' mentality), I figured I have to chuck that mentality out the window and just use them - heck that's what I brought them for ROFL.

My hubby is up in Auckland this weekend and my SIL phoned him as we were heading to the airport -"what would you like for dinner?" (she's an amazing cook), and his answer "Wendy's" (as in the burger joint). LOL. No Wendy's in Christchurch and he's had a bit of a hankering for them. Silly boy, I would have gone for one of Mo's homecooked meals!

Now thanks to my personal pick up service (sounds dodgy doesn't it lol!). Vicki was out at SP during the week and picked up the few things I had sitting there (and yes, it was only a few!) and I picked it up from her place today. Now you can't beat that for service lol. Hope she doesn't start charging me ROFLMAO!

Right it's too hot in this room I'm heading back to the air conditioned lounge. Yep, at 33 degrees folks we've cranked up the air conditioner (hey, I can't have the doors open, too much pollen!). Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Great to have the heat but it would be soooo much nicer without the wind
Loving your photos
Just to let you know you can get a hayfever injection from your doctor must say it works wonders for me and I have been getting them for the last six or seven years its the only thing that stops my eyes itching usually one jab sees me through the worst of summer but you can get more than one a season
Hope you find something to relieve the worst syptoms as hayfever can really make you feel yuk

Vicki said...

You can just bleedin' well stop skiting buddy ... 33 degrees ya ... we've got the galeforce winds in our part of the country without the heat ... you can share a little bit of that.

The only warmth I'm getting is from a heater !!!

I'm over the winds ... and the rain and the winds and the rain ... I'm sure you understand what I am trying to say ... just quietly, I'm over the rain too!!!

Love that pic of you and Lyall - in the big tub ...hope to see you scrap that one.

Peonies are beautiful at this time of the year ... I've got some windswept looking ones out in the garden ... in fact must take a closer look.

I think you should print out the moon photo and scrap it. The hayfever jab sounds like a great idea.

Hannah said...

Sorr about the hayfever, Trace ... I can relate! Have you tried herbal remedies? I swear by a botanical gel that you just rub on the inside of your nostrils. I get it from the pharmacy and it's the only thing that helps mine.
That spa looks wonderful - I am a bit green here!!

Viv said...

Poor itchy you! Take lots of drugs...best thing for it! LOl! Razene is good, I take it everyday.
We're really only just warming up here, spring has been COLD!

Ooh, 33 degrees, we could do a swap - I'm turning rusty with the rain over here LoL!

That peony is beautiful, and as for the mountain view!
