Yesterday evening when Tina got it she said the sky was lovely and took Darren and me out for a drive round the bays, and a photo stop of course.

The sky just didn't look real with those stripes, very striking. We had a drink and a little wander on the beach to round off the trip. This morning I decided that I had to get out and do something with the front lawn, but took a picture of the lovely thistle I put in a pot a few weeks ago.

Also put a few small plants in the fairy garden and made paths with the 'glow in the dark' pebbles. I will let you know if they work, as they are supposed to shine for a while once they have been out in the sunlight.

I tried to take a picture of a smallish spider in the back garden but the wind was just blowing it around way too much. When I got out the front there was a really tiny spider on the handle of the hoe, managed to get a reasonable picture of it considering how small it was.

I managed to tidy up the front lawn with the edging shears, it grows in peculiar tufts which the hand mower cannot deal with. I also put several small piles of Allbran around the garden to see if it really does attract the slugs and gets them to overeat! Darren and I went out for a bit of lunch and I got some compost which be brought home for me. I made my way into town from there, and after a little bit of shopping I caught the bus to the hospital. The appointment was not a great success, I have some very simple, not too strenuous exercises to do but the physio is very concerned as she does not want to cause me more pain than I already have. Going again in three weeks. This bright flower bed was near the station, very attractive.

Watching Murray at the moment and it is looking good at just now.
