This morning I got some weekend shopping in and then went to a garden sale at one of th churches. I only bought a rhubarb plant Nd it is in a pot so won’t need me to do anything with it until after our trip.
I went out and managed to weed a lot of the beds in the back garden, not brilliantly but remove a lot of the biggest offenders. I went round to see
Sarah and David for a couple of hours to catch up on news as I won’t see them for a while now.
When I got back my monopod had arrived, Mike had suggested that I might find it useful when taking pictures of the wild life.
The only bird about in the garden when I thought I would try using it was a tiny wagtail, and it was some way away. It was on the lawn behind the bird bath, not in it!
Darren took me for fish and chips and when we came out it was spitting with rain, so had a mad dash to get plants and removed weeds put away. I don’t think it will be worthwhile rain so will water everything well tomorrow. I managed to get an adaptor for the two extra hose so should be able to get most of the front garden watered without carting too many cans this time.
I bet when you get back to your normal six hours a day gardening it’ll make them go numb again! An hour a day is more than enough for anyone.
ReplyDeleteLooks a nice monopod, and it doubles as a great little walking pole too. Perfect for your little trip away as it doesn’t take up much room. They take a bit of getting used to for taking pics, so how did you get on with it? The pics look ok.
Seaside fish and chips, nice.
It was okay using it, that bird is quite small and was a long way off. I am sure I will get good use out of it.
ReplyDeleteThe fish and chips were good, nice way to round off the day.
I will try not to do too long spells of gardening, but I do just want to get stuck in sometimes.
