Happy Sunday!
Am feeling slightly "wobbly" this morning - we had a fabulous supper at our friends' house last night; much wine was drunk (by me), the food was amazing - including a homemade Timbale, which I had never eaten before! So good.
When we got home, we went out on the deck for awhile to see if we could see any shooting stars from the Perseid Meteor Shower. Apparently, tonight is the peak, with up to 60 shooting stars per hour, so am giving you an early heads up (Ruth head outside NOW!). We saw a few, though apparently, the best time is around 4 in the morning.
Wait I lied - Barry, my son and his girlfriend and my daughter all saw a few. My eyes seemed fuzzy. I sat on the lawn chair and looked up, but I might have dozed off...I will try again tonight!
Last week was busy, but you can always learn a few things and here are some things I learned this past week.
1) do not check if the caramel top of your crème brulee has "set" with your finger.
Not proud or happy that I did that. It doesn't hurt anymore, but I have a blister which will likely last for months...
2) it actually does help to do an inventory of your clothing before you actually buy anything for fall.
I know that you all have been telling me that. This could be the year I actually only buy what I need or will wear and which actually matches what I already have. I am working on my inventory and recording it all (though my inventory is getting to smaller and smaller as I constantly shed more skins and embrace others) and it is quite an interesting exercise.
3) Gladioli are lovely, but they require a lot of propping up.
They are like a really pretty friend that constantly wants you to reinforce to them how pretty they are...
I have been staking them all week and still they droop and fall over. Maybe they have heard about "THE TURN" from Mr. BP and are all weepy... Who can blame them? It makes ME weepy!
Now I am off to lay down for a bit...It's been a long week...And I have SHARKNADO taped! I missed it when it was first on, but I wasn't going to take the chance of missing it again and PVRd it last night. Oh thank god I live in a world where they make movies about tornadoes filled with sharks attacking LA....
You would never know I had a good education would you, what with taping this and putting my finger into the crème brulee....If it makes you feel better, I am reading Virginia Woolf....
Have a happy Sunday and stay safe out there!
