I hope we're all having a good week so far. I've got £20 on my Nectar card after an Argos purchase, that's definitely a win.
Other things that have made me smile this week include my peace lily putting out two bracts and finding a hoverfly larva wiggling around on my back after a walk yesterday - which I subsequently took outside to a bush. On that walk I met a lovely puppy in the park, his name was Tucker. This morning I found an affectionately named Cucmber spider in the bathroom which I also subsequently took outside to a bush. I'm sensing a theme this week! This is your reminder to look out for and appreciate the small things - unless you have arachnophobia.
Ah meeting excited puppies is the best! Yesterday on a walk I saw an overexcited spaniel pup who was just so happy to be chasing the ball he didn't want to stop to pee, so sort of cocked a leg and continued hopping around in a circle on the other legs to follow where the ball was rolling.
I'd never heard of a cucumber spider but that little fella is surprisingly cute for something with so many legs :D
My daughter would love finding that spider. We got an app called iSeek that allows you to scan animals and plants and it names them for you. She has became obsessed with nature and has amassed a huge library of stuff she's scanned. Her favourite so far was a purple flower I'd picked for her while out a walk - turns out it's something called Selfheal.
She's always telling me some wee bit of info she got from the app. I love it.
