We Had A Quiet Day,

although a couple of friends called round,

 but first we noticed another one of the cactus was flowering,

it seems such a shame that they flower for just one day,

 I guess it is to preserve water, flowering uses a lot of it, so there it is,

then for some reason my mobile has decided to have a nervous breakdown, the clock gained just over 3 hours, every time I try to change it I receive this message,

the same if I try to change the date or the wake up alarm, it is starting to behave like an unfunny hysterical tortoise, a new phone in the pipeline I guess, the good news is that both Jay and Mr. Tony called round in the afternoon, so we chatted the afternoon away,

after we said our goodbyes and our evening meal we watched a couple of shows on satellite television, then it was feet up for Poirot, for tonight's viewing,

The Mysterious Affair at Styles

Hastings renews his friendship with Poirot and involves him in the mysterious poisoning of the mistress of a manor house married to a man twenty years her junior.

 How Does Your Garden Grow?

At a flower show, an older woman in a wheelchair approaches Poirot, gives him an empty seed packet, and asks him to visit her the next day. When Poirot arrives the next day, the woman is dead, murdered with poison.

 

by now it was well past midnight, so for us we were off to bed.
