I've had one of those days.. everything was wrong or it seemed that way to me. I was telling someone how excited I was that a plant we'd had four years had buds at last. It can take up to eight years and more to get to the flowering stage from seeds! I bought the plant with me from my Suffolk garden and it had taken four years there to flower too.
Angel Fishing Rods, Dierama so pretty and delicate.
Of course she had loads in her previous garden.. couldn't she have just had said, 'thats nice?'
It took the wind out of my sails and I felt deflated.
The surgery are supposed to be phoning about some physiotherapy checks, because I've reapplied for my Blue Badge which allows me to park in designated spaces nearer to shops etc.. having been told I would hear this week a while ago, I'm still waiting, by the time the appointment comes through, my Badge will have run out!
I went to my regular hair dresser for a tidy up, because I'm growing my hair into a loose Bob style.. he was chatting as usual and I reminded him I didn't want my fringe cut short. Before I could say anything else he'd cut one side of my hair, I stopped him to remind him I was growing my hair, because I didn't want the short fussy style. Too late, he had to cut the other side to match and then my hair at the back short too.. I said no to lacquer and came home and brushed it straight. Actually it looks clean and shiny and not too bad, but I was upset at first. I won't go back there!!
I rarely complain about Dh cooking, but last night we'd arrange Bacon Carbonara. A favourite of mine and we save our cheese allowance for. He decided to look at one of the Pinch of Nom recipe books and followed that one and instead of a lovely cheesy taste it had a 'zing'... he'd added balsamic vinegar. I didn't like it, but ate it, because tomorrow is SW weighing day, any other evening I'd have wolfed down toast instead.. I think he thought it would be nice for a change. So the end of my day was like the beginning, deflated.
But all said and done, I still have that gorgeous Dierama, the physio will get in touch eventually, my hair grows quickly and I have a lot of it, and I'm not hungry!! So not too bad after all!

Looking on the bright side..
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that beautiful flower before. But that photo makes me wish I had one and I love pink flowers. Whenever I send the picture to my girlfriend of my flowers or her to me, we always compliment each other because we truly enjoy plants. Maybe this new haircut will grow out more to your liking without going back to a salon for a while. Good luck getting your blue tag. It's been years since we had to have one, but when I needed it for a year it was most useful.
ReplyDeleteIt all comes down to a matter of emphasis, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLife…with its ups and downs…keeps us interested though not always thrilled.
ReplyDeleteI love that through all that you could still look on the bright side. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was once growing my hair at the same time my hairdresser was growing hers. But I decided that I wanted to go back to short and asked her for my 'old cut'. She literally refused to do it and left it much longer as 'she knew I would be upset at chopping it all off'. I wasn't, I was upset at her and never went back. The new hairdressers the following week got my custom for the next year until I moved house again.
That's a beautiful flower! I've not heard of that one.
ReplyDeleteI would be irritated about that hair cut too. They sure weren't listening to you.
Bummer on the supper too.
Too bad about the hairdresser not doing what you asked. I'd not go back there either.
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude at the end of the day, being so positive when the day had not worked out the way you wanted. 😊
