This weekend I will be:
- gardening
- baking a cheese & pickle bread (using HM spicy pear pickle) and a chocolate brownie cheesecake with cherries (that I will pick this afternoon) for a neighbour's garden party
- refurbing my old ottoman - the paint, foam and fabric have all been delivered this week
- touching up the painted walls that have already been scuffed :mad:
- applying a wall sticker to the landing wall
- supervising Mr MWC putting up a floating shelf
- deciding on which of our holiday photos to print and display in my new photo frames
- hanging the new photo frames
- choosing carpet
- trimming the privet hedge in the front garden (it didn't look too bad but the neighbours both sides did theirs last week and now ours looks terrible!)

Hi MWC, the plants and flowers are so nice. What are their names? The flowers look like petunias/pansies/cranesbill with longer stalks but the leaves do not. TIA.
