Josie's Pineapple

I am compelled to write about how utterly ticklish that is that my sister Josie is always sending me updates on how her pineapple plants were doing. I can see that she really took great care of it. She is lucky that she has a great garden too. Having said that, she has also devoted most of her free time tending her garden. She is a workaholic too, nonstop doing anything around the house when she is not at work. She is a great sister and I am glad that her altitude towards life is hands on with a friendly disposition.

Christmas 2016, getting ready

Last year Christmas was at my mum's place, a few days before  Christmas,my mum, brother and sisters were busy putting up the  decorations and picking out the tree. Last year they have decided to get a live Christmas tree upon many  requests to do so. I am happy to see that the tree they put up remind me of my childhood Christmas tree.

Spanish Lunch

Just the other day we had lunch at a Spanish restaurant, I like the ambient there. The restaurant was quiet and the waiter was  really nice and helpful with the menu. Anyway, we have Spanish seafood paella rice, which was delicious, chicken salad, which was flavourful  and my favourite chicken tacos which I enjoyed very much. Thinking of it made me want to pop into their restaurant, Sentidos is the name . Their menu is extensive together with their wine selections. They have a weekend buffet too, which is very tempting.

My balcony is ready

At last my balcony  has been  retiled and i am elated for being able to take  tea and  coffee there . For a start it is a bit bare as i am still thinking of the types of plants  and theme i wanted to relay. I have an outdoor  table and  chairs which I bought from  Ikea and which i think is practical because it's made of steel and can withstand the weather, whether it is rain  or shine. I would like to have more live plants later, but i really do not  mind the beautiful artificial flowers.

For a start...

Wonderful time at my balcony
