You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

morning ladies   It's going to be a scorcher today.  MrK is out watering the vegie garden and when he's finished with the hose, I'll be using it on the garden pots.

Today is the day the Christmas shopping gets finished.  Well, that's the plan, anyway.  And we start looking after our friend's dogs for a week this afternoon.  MrK has told them this will be the last time he does this as he's getting wobbly on his feet and two big dogs jumping up at him (naughty dogs!) will bowl him over eventually. 

Our granddaughter is reading The Hobbit much to my delight as I love Tolkien.  And she is smitten with the characters and thoroughly enjoying it.  Another generation of Tolkien fans lol.  Seeing as I bought her brother a NASA t shirt, I think I'll pop out to Hobbiton and buy her a Lord of the Rings t shirt for Christmas.  I'm wondering if reading tastes are in the genes as our granddaughter is the third generation fantasy reader.

MrK is finished with the hose, better head outside and water before the day becomes too hot.

That's excellent news KM, all my kids read it & also later on, The lord of the rings. 
Which has just given me an idea; perhaps I should get a copy of The hobbit for the wee ones & put them away for when they're a bit older; you can never have too many books after all.

Your trainer's probably an insomniac, Mica!

Was out early, had to go to two different malls so went as early as possible & managed to get the last painting printed, then on to the other one for dog biscuits - cheaper over there than elsewhere, & by the time I left there, it was starting to get really busy so very glad I'd gone early - way too many people at this time of year for me.
Hot as hell here today, stopping inside as far as possible.
