Oh blimey Kaz! Yes, shoes

[Kaz]

Harry's feet are now bigger than Mick's

[JoM]

Well John takes an 8 or 9 depending on the shoe so Joe's not far off
Tom's an 11, I'd never actually seen shoes that big before. Obviously I knew they were available but I'd never actually picked a pair up and seen just how enormous they really are

[Kaz]

Harry's dad takes a 13 so I guess I should have expected the kids to have big feet - B is an 8 and has been for the last 3 years or so

[JoM]

Hopefully she'll stay at that then before nice shoes become difficult to find

I honestly don't know how our boys are so big - Tom's 6ft and still growing and Joe's only 5' 4" but he's growing rapidly - I'm not especially tall and John's only a touch taller than me, and neither of us are from tall families.

[Kaz]

I blame the extra vitamins they put in kids' cereal myself

B's feet won't grow any more now I don't think - feet are usually the bit that stop growing first

[JoM]

LOL you could well be right!

Thunder and heavy rain here again. My washing is out

[Kaz]

ugh - I managed to get my bedding dry and to avoid the downpours somehow when I went out - a minor miracle really

[JoM]

We've now got thunder and sunshine

Bb's boss was supposed to phone between 3 & 4 for his 1-1 so I asked for pocket money for the garden centre
I had a lovely time, got some bargains and didn't get rained on.
And his boss still hasn't phoned

But we now have:
2 buddleias, one a lovely deep pink-red, one blue/lilac (rude not to, £6.99 each or 2 for £8).
2 low, bright green, carpety-things that have little pink flowers, to go in one of the gravel bits that always needs weeding - they were bogof.
1 eryngium to go in the front under the bay, which never gets any rain - (from the reduced to £1 trolley).
1 something with pinky-red gerbera-like flowers (£1 trolley).
Another hardy geranium (£1 trolley).
And a weigela 'Wine and Roses' which wasn't reduced or bargainised at all but is absolutely beautiful

Just going to drag him out there and get them planted now - before it rains, hopefully
