Other half is one of an admin team on a face book group. The admin are all bickering like a bunch of school children at the moment . I get to listen in. It's very entertaining
Having my lovely grandson for the day.walked him in his buggy to Tesco and got lots of reduced fruit. Strawberries, mango, peaches. Chopped the lot up for desert..very tasty.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
About to get into bed when Mr Snoop asks, "So, has reading that seed catalogue changed your plans?" And it's true, there are quite a few things I'd like but none I need. And I say as much. To which he replies, "Go on, you should order what you fancy. No reason why not." So I present all the arguments: just different varieties of things I've already got, expensive seeds, transport costs from France, blah, blah. But no, he insists. If it's a one-off delivery charge, no matter what you order, just go ahead. So I will.
Watching the birds in the garden.
Gangs of Long Tailed tits on the bird feeders outside the door and.............
Bullfinches stripping the buds off the cherry tree. Some people would rant about it but I'm just happy to see them in the garden, glowing like baubles left over from some festive event last month.
Finding an previously unsuspected reclamation yard ten minutes away, which had a scary container full of barrels and barrels of tools.... scored a long handled three-prong cultivator, a long handled squirly whirly rotating cast iron cultivator thingy, a grass hook, a solid steel fork, a trowel, a hand hoe/cultivator and a draw hoe for �25 all in.
Also picked up a lovely solid hardwood loveseat on Friendface marketplace. Bargain.
Ooooooooo. I've got a cute lil wasabi plant in a posh box. Makes me want to buy one as a gift but there is no one I know that would want one....what a shame.
Spending time in the garden,crunchy under foot,i feel warm as toast in the sun,went to put new plants in,and started weeding with the hand fork,and cutting dead stalks back,planting as i go,very uplifting,only come in for a break and coffee.
