- Was pleasantly surprised by an early delivery. I dropped and broke my favorite mug earlier in the week, and after recovering from my initial dismay, I tried to glue the pieces back together. I wasn't very successful, and decided I wouldn't trust my sloppily repaired handle anyway, so I ordered a replacement. The estimated delivery time was two weeks, but it came in four days. My morning tea is much better now that I can again share it with my two favorite sons.
- Caught up with Endeavour. There are three seasons of this PBS Masterpiece show on Amazon Prime, and I think it may be the best thing I've watched since The Crown. It's a prequel to Inspector Morse, showing how he started as a Detective Constable. I love the music, cinematography, the characters, and their economy of speech. Endeavour Morse is cerebral, deliberate, and thoughtful, and his mentor, Fred Thursday (played by the wonderful Roger Allam from the funny and clever BBC radio show Cabin Pressure) is wise and insightful.
- Celebrated my first rose of the season,
Along with a lovely rose bud.
- Enjoyed an orchid cactus blossom while sitting on the porch, and the promise of more to come from lots of buds.
- Reminded myself that I should be more patient, now that plenty of blue (and white) columbines have shown up among all the red ones.
I hope your weekend was also a good one and your week is off to a great start!
Thanks for the recommendation on the show! And your columbine are lovely. How wonderful that your mug came so quickly!
ReplyDeleteI loved Endeavor, it is an excellent show! And, your flowers look so beautiful! We had a few roses bloom over the weekend too!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Endeavor too! Your flowers are lovely!
ReplyDeleteYay for a new mug! I use my broken/glued-together favorite mugs for pencils & whatnot. I love Endeavour!! All of your flowers are lovely -- I noticed that some of my columbine is finally blooming.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Endeavor! And the flowers! Oh, Bonny -- so beautiful. But the new mug is best of all. Because sharing tea with your sons is always TOP of the list. XO
ReplyDeleteEndeavor is a favorite of mine, too. We have yet to see columbines, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. How fun to have your sons to tea each morning!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I need to watch Endeavor! Love, love, love that new mug. (With the mugs! Sorry!) And we've got a couple of columbines popping up...I thought of you yesterday when I saw them. xo
ReplyDeleteOne of our rose bushes started blooming this weekend while we were away - lovely to come home to that. Glad your mug arrived so quickly. And Endeavor - fabulous show!
ReplyDeleteEndeavour is a wonderful show, loved every episode. Your flowers are beautiful. We have had a wondeful warm day, no rain, so a great start to the week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen! I'm trying to go slowly with Endeavour so I don't watch them all at once!
DeleteI'm so glad you got your replacement mug so quickly - for sure morning tea is better seeing the boys' smiling faces! My sister has been on me to watch Endeavor - thank you for the reminder. on it!! and thank you for all the lovely blooms - so pretty and so very different from what I see around here. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI adore Endeavor. So wonderful to have a new mug after an incident (at least that's what I call my nerve related drops). Your garden is coming along beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm trying to go slowly with Endeavour so I don't watch them all at once (but it's tough)!
DeleteOh no, you broke a favorite mug....the worst. However I'm glad you have a new favorite mug :) That show looks good and I'll wait for it to be on netflix or hulu. I'm not an amazon prime gal ....yet.
