The Girls Were Out For The Day,

more of that later, so I decided on a little bit of indoor gardening,

 since planting them,

 the succulents have grown well, 

 some of Diana's,

 putting up lots of flower stems,

 for my box so far only one has flowered,

 and this is it,

 what I am going to do is start a new pot with a couple of the plants that have multiplied,

 also trim back the slightly bare flower stems off the orchids,

 at the ends of a couple of the stems,

 new plants have appeared, with small 'roots' although they are in fact just hold fasts, the orchids process their nutrients through their leaves, 

 so I popped both of them in the trough,

 hopefully they will survive, 

 as it happens there is a new flower stem already growing in one of the three pots,

 next plant two new succulents,

 give them and the others a few vitamins,

 and there they are,

 I was going to visit Fulham Place gardens, but rain put an end to that idea, so shopping it was

 back laden and getting wet,

 during the afternoon I played with a couple of infrared photographs, this one straight out of the camera from our visit to Arlington lock, 

 colour reversed,

 I then added color,

 and then went overboard for a surreal effect,

 then took away the colour for this black and white,

 and finally an antique look,

 this one taken early in the morning,

 at Bourton on the Water,

 a few touches of color added,

 and then a lot of extra color,

 I decided to give this black and white a very dark menacing sky,

and then an antique look,

 in the evening back past some of the houses in the park,

 and past a very waterlogged tennis court,

 to the club house where I had a drink with Robert and Steve,

gong back to the girls, they started off shopping, and where else to start? Harrods of course!

 so into the Fendi Cafe,

which is inside Harrods, Kai,

 and Diana, 

 started with hot chocolate,

 and cake, 

 breakfast over,

 time to start shopping,

 and looking around,

 plus of course a few poses,

 with some of the giant teddy bears

 and they were giant!

 one more by the trolly, 

 after lots of shopping the girls were a bit famished, so off to Harvey Nicks, to the 5th floor,

 to the Burger and Lobster,

 this branch part of a world wide group,

 so a few cocktails,

 and the food arrives,

 smiles all round as you might have guessed,

 a quick slurp,

 and look at that!

 well we all had to have a few photographs,

 lobster,

 yummy!

 lots of them,

 and full of meat,

 then the main event,

 the GOT7 concert,

 it was a bit cold waiting to get in,

 but I was told the wait was worth it,

 in the publicity pack,

 a couple of lights,

let the show begin,

Steve and myself received a telephone call to say the girls were on the train home, so we walked to the station to meet them,

and walked back home after saying farewell to Steve and Kai, then it was feet up for a chat and a coffee, next for us, off to bed.
