Not a lot to report today really, woke up feeling very off colour as between the knees and more so lately the hands any sort of reasonable sleep is hard to come by! When I did nod off I was having disturbing dreams so woke up in a bad, can’t be bothered mood! After sitting for a while I knew that the answer was to go and get stuck into something, preferably physical! So have spent quite a bit of the day carrying on with the turf path as it was a pity not to use the pile of turfs that were piled up by the demolished steps. I started my getting a channel ready and Darren came out and carried the turfs down for me as they are quite heave because of the depth of soil.Had almost finished putting them in apart from a few odd bits still on the patio, but planned to go out again after lunch to finish off .
I wanted to get soil into the gaps and tidy it up as well as using the last couple of pieces. It will be okay I think when it is bedded in.
Managed to catch a couple of the crows taking off in that one!
I made dinner for this evening and baked a few buns which managed to be okay for later.
After dinner I went out and used the hose to water the new path well. It did start to hail while I was out there but it was a short sharp shower!
Sorry to hear you had such a bad night. It is hard to get used to and inevitably will drag you down. Glad you managed to shake it off with a bit of hard toil. Although not sure if that will have done you much good either. Lesser of two evils I suppose. The garden does look good though and I really like the new path. It’ll soon bed in with a bit of watering. Handy having a big strong man to lug the turf about for you too. Make more use of him 😊 He’ll be happy with the cakes as payment for his work.
ReplyDeleteHope tonight proves to be a better night for you.
The internet is playing up again so this is the second attempt at the reply.
ReplyDeleteIt was fairly hard work today but worth it and it did lift my mood.
