Things around my birthday
May. 6th, 2007 07:33 pmThe first being, the grand opening of the new, 'improved'?, garden centre in Bicester. The old one was fine, really, but they decided to rebuild it and make it BIG! For the last several months the garden centre has comprised a smallish temporary building with a small bit of yard out rear. We went by this Saturday to try to pick up a few fushias to fill out our tubs - only to find that although it isn't open yet, actually it was and had been since the previous Thursday. Phoebesmum wasn't convinced she didn't prefer the old one; but this one certainly goes on - and on - and on! We managed to buy the fuschias and pelargoniums I wanted, as well as a couple of Cosmos (which liked us like year) and a variety of other things, including a blue rose. We will, I expect, miss the 'grand opening' since, as mentioned, it coincides with my birthday!
Also on my birthday this year, it seems, is Eurovision. Because of this, 'Any Dream Will Do', which Phoebesmum has been following, is on earlier. And then there's Eurovision. "Oh," I said. "So when are we supposed to go out for dinner?!" Concluded it may well have to be a take-out, as Eurovision really is something one has to watch live, warts and all. Hope that's OK, wannabedolphin!!
Dresden Files has now finished, possibly for good since its renewal status is currently uncertain - a pity, since whilst it was weak, it had a darned sight more promise and better internal consistency than Who, and considerably more action than Heroes. Still, the books go on!
PS - the tree in the close, whose state of being we were a little concerned about as it was showing no sign of leaf when everything else had been fooled by the early Spring, is now coming into leaf. We can't decide whether it's older and therefore wiser, or it just takes the sap longer to rise 30 feet.
