No sewing again today, I am slacking! Had a trip out with Tina. She was going to have her hair cut in Hull and I went along for the ride and to keep her company. I had a drink and did a bit of reading int the Tesco cafe, and then began shopping before she joined me to finish the shopping and then head straight home as when has a wedding to preside over this afternoon. When we were out on Thursday I bought an indoor begonia set that was reduced. I thought I would look inside before I went to bed last night and the corms were sprouting although dry and of course very white! So decided to plant them up straight away, knocked a glass off the shelf at about 10.30 pm and it shattered so not as early to bed as planned!
At the studio on Thursday I had the disappointment of the plate, but saw that they had moved the honey pot I painted last year for them as a sample. They haven't got any more so I asked if I could buy it as it was one of my favourite items that I have painted. So now it is back with me, like I need more stuff!
This afternoon I have spent quite a while in the front garden, did so much pruning that I have filled the garden waste bin. When I was trimming the lawn a couple of young frogs hopped away, I am glad I didn't hurt either of them otherwise the grass would have been left to become a jungle! I will put before and after pics, not that it will be obvious how much effort was involved. I did plant a dozen begonias and 15 bulbs as well.
Darren and I are having a stall at the boot sale tomorrow so we have loaded up the car and will be making a fairly early start. No Casualty tonight, football of course.

That a long way to go for a haircut, so I assume they are very good, or very cheap :-) But it meant you got a trip out too, which is good.
ReplyDeleteLots of bread and honey for you then is it? Do people actually use honey pots these days? It's a bit like the honey dippers, I see them in lots of shops, but don't think I've ever seen anyone use one. Maybe I don't frequent the right circles :-)
The garden looks lovely. I particularly like the blue flowers in the background. Not a clue as to what they are though!
I was confused by the blue 'flowers' when I saw the photos, they are actually rubbish sacks in the garden next door!! Perhaps we both need new glasses! They were sold to the studio as sugar bowls, but I thought it looked much more like a honey pot. Marmalade it there would be good!
ReplyDeleteSo they are now I look closely! Definitely new glasses I think :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too!!
ReplyDeleteThe garden is looking great you have done so much since moving there. The next occupant are going to get a real treat with having it full of beauitful bulbs ready to flower, with no expense. Xx
ReplyDeleteDepending on where we move I intend to dig some of the shrubs up! Have started putting some stuff in pots now. xxx
