Anticipation!

I'm sitting here at the end of our first rainy day this season. Everything is so clean and green and the air smells just wonderful... the Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow shrub is giving thanks and celebrating by filling the garden with it's gorgeous scent.

Tomorrow I am spending the day in Polokwane with Joe. I love to go shopping with my daughters and both of us are getting new mobile (cell) phones tomorrow and if I am lucky, I am also getting a new camera... feels a bit like I used to feel on Christmas Eve when I was a child.

The other wonderful thing about getting a new phone is that when you upgrade your contract at this particular shop, you get a rather large gift voucher to spend in the shop and I love spending money, particularly other people's money. Buying the camera will cost about a third of my voucher, so I will have two thirds of it left to spend on whatever takes my fancy. I need to upgrade my internet security program so I will be spending some of it on that and then I think I just might treat myself to some luxurious and utterly unecessary, bath treats. Any vouchers I have left I will just keep untill I buy Christmas presents.

Oh, I can't wait, so I am off to a nice bath and early bed now, so tomorrow can come quickly.

  3. Have a lovely weekend - and don't forget to take pics. I especially want to see the Yesterday, today and tomorrow shrub as I've never heard of that.
