We have a gorgeous sunny winter’s day here, with a forecast
high of 18 degrees Celsius. I enjoyed
doing my usual Tuesday shopping, visiting two different supermarkets, a Dutch delicatessen
(I love their gouda cheese), an op shop (no finds today), and petrol for the car.
I always enjoy seeing the jonquils blooming in late winter.
A lot of rhododendrons and camellias are also coming out in
flower.
After lunch I felt inspired to wander around our garden to
see what blooms we have here.
I loved the sunny gold colour of this polyanthus.
There were white fairy primulas nestled beneath the
sweetpeas.
One of the hanging baskets is putting on a brave repeat show
of sweet little faces.
Some of the spring bulbs I planted have begun to flower, but
I can’t remember whether these are the anemones or the ranunculas!!
On the Toilet Scene, the builder has been to inspect and
says the whole floor needs replacing – preferably with hardwood and not
chipboard that was used previously. The
plumber is due to arrive this afternoon and he will hopefully be able to
disconnect everything – the toilet is continuing to sink further into the floor
so I will be happy when it is removed.
Thank goodness for portable camping toilets!

Good that the builder was able to come so soon. Let's hope the plumber does as well and things can progress. Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteLoving your garden photos Margaret.
ReplyDeleteI am still going through what you are about to go through... only it's my SiL who is doing the bulk of the work, so I was three days without a loo.... thank goodness for wonderful neighbours!!
The bathroom is nearing completion now, three months after the massive leak was found. By the time all the rot was removed I had lost the adjoining wall to the toilet as well as over half of both floors... I hope your work goes way faster :)
Stay safe
Blessings

What a catastrophe . Get those workmen working !! All the best for a quick and strong fix up
ReplyDeleteI am sure that before long you will be flushed with happiness again!
ReplyDeleteLOL there are a lot of toilet-humour jokes flying around the family at the moment :))
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are just beautiful. Lots of pretty colors.. I hope all goes well with the toilet and the floor. Have a happy day!
These are beautiful flowers...some new to me. I sure hope the bathroom situation is resolved soon fir you.
ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung there already. 18 C is a great temperature for hiking and gardening. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the toilet!
Your flowers are lovely, I've been admiring a number of flowering trees here lately. rhododendrons are a firm favourite. Glad the loo situation is being resolved. I think I would tire of a portaloo very quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe late winter blooms are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that tearing out the old floor and building a new one will be quite an expense.
Hopefully work can begin quickly and get done.
Hmmm, gouda! Or Tilsiter, Esrom, Cheddar.... ohhhh, stop me ;-)
ReplyDeleteWith grapes, hmmmmm.... No breadrolls come Saturday, I know what I want!
Beautiful flowers, still nothing here!
Oh, toilets, we can shake hands, huh?
Such pretty flowers! You have nice weather year round! Hope all goes well with the bathroom repairs:)
