Free flowers

It's very windy here again today, luckily hardly any rain though. Outside is warmer than inside.

Someone in the village has given me a load of stuff she doesn't want, after a clear out of her loft and garage. The gazebo roof has gone to my friend, hers is falling apart so she is glad of this free replacement. She also had some curtain linings which will fit her patio doors. Soft toys, a quilted baby playmat and cot blanket, and a sewing box will be sold on the cat rescue stall. I had two pillow cases, curtain linings, and a bunch of artificial flowers.

This is my display which has been on the window sill for a lot of years and is now falling apart. Some of it I picked from around the fishing pond down the hill. 

These are the 'new to me', flowers, they are also a bit old but in better condition than those I already have, and they are more colourful.

Merge the two bunches together, picking out the better ones and binning the rest, put them in a different glass vase, and bingo, a new display.

My Saturday morning breakfast. Every so often I fancy a change from cereals, nuts and fruit, and porridge. Today was the crust from a seeded loaf, mushrooms, egg, and spaghetti hoops.

Its a bit too windy to do any gardening and the brown garden waste bin is full awaiting collection on Wednesday. Don't need any shopping, I did it yesterday. I'll go a walk at some point, and fill in the gaps with some sewing. Hair needs a cut but as I do it outside I'll have to wait till the wind drops.
