Most boring day of the year?

Don't know why, but I felt totally at a loose end today. Think it was probably because Peter was still at work, but toddlers has stopped for Christmas, and there didn't seem any point driving anywhere as everywhere would be so busy.

Luckily mum phoned in the afternoon, so we went up for a visit. Amy had great fun helping to decorate their tree.
Don't think Claude was too interested in helping!


Today's photo of the day is of my Christmas cactus which is behaving and flowering just now. This plant is a cutting I took about 5 years ago from the original which is getting on in years, and doesn't have any buds this year. It's about 20 years old, we got it at our school's jumble sale, where it cost about 10p, and was a sorry looking specimen. 


While Amy had her nap today, I played with Photoshop again. On Designer Digitals there was a template to download (the digital equivalent of a sketch). This was to create your own ATC and put it in your gallery so people could see what you look like, which is a great idea as I have no idea what most of my online friends look like:D. Here's my ATC.

Flower photo very good. My plant has no buds either after being totally forgotten about all summer and now being coaxed back to life.

My Nana was not a gardener - Grandad wouldn't let her touch "his" flowers - but two items that were "hers" were a Lemon Geranium and a Christmas Cactus. Both perfomed beautifully for her and everyone in the family had cuttings.
