The lilies with no sense of time

My Christmas lilies have never had a sense of timing commensurate with their pretty name but this year they didn't flower until 25th January!
Never mind.   I can still enjoy them even if the fragrance is a little overpowering and causes the sneezes:-)

Today has been a long and very hot humid day, starting at 6am the itinerary was

Baking -  loaf and ginger crunch
A cool drink
Ironing
A cool drink
Breakfast
A cool drink
Fruit and vegetable shopping
A cool drink
Call at the library to pick up the latest Val McDermid book
Visit The Ribbon Rose to pick up Gloriana thread and look for fabric glue (no luck)
A cool drink
Shopping for the HD3QBEM
A cool drink AND a soft serve kiddie cone ice cream
Call at hardware to pick up magnets
A cool drink
Cleaning
A cool drink
Pin the zip into Woodland Delight pocket
A cool drink
Cook the dinner
A cool drink

Yes it was quite a journey and I am too tired to stitch.  Perhaps I will pick up a book??  The HD3QBEM is snoring softly in her chair.

It sounds very warm with you Margaret. My hairdresser was telling me this morning that she is heading to New Zealand in just over a week.
