One taken on the back garden when I was feeding the birds!
By seven I was out painting the summer house, we had decided it needed to be finished today as the weather is due to be much colder tomorrow. I opened the windows and doors so that ai could give the edges a quick coat and then got all the second coat done except for the high bits, it took me a couple of hours but a good job out of the way, well a,most! I came upstairs for a bit as Anya was going to FaceTime me at 10.30 so freshened up a bit. Anya and Isobel joined me and Isobel was making herself look like a cartoon character. When they were opening the bits ai sent they were together and I took a photo!
After that I went outside and make a start on tidying the walled garden. The frame for the sweet peas was down and the tomato frame was in pieces out of sight, apart from the ever growing weeds. I plodded on until having a late lunch.
Tina had been busy make phone calls to her church members and still had a lot to do so obviously wasn’t going to make it outside to finish off the painting of the summer house. Darren was having some archery practice and I took the steps out and completed the second coat of the summer house, so a good job now completed! Then I went back to do a bit more in the walled garden, reassembled the tomato frame and tried to put cross beams in the top as last year the top kept filling with water and it was difficult to clear it off!
Last picture today of the summer house, not looking a lot different but I know it is done. Put Mrs Crow back as well as I had moved her out of the way!
We had a nice dinner and I just watered the bonsai trees and bits in the walled garden. Hoping we may get a shower, or even better a deluge tonight!
Feeling pretty tired and achey and hope I can stay awake to see The Nest later!
Blimey, you have had a long and busy day! You’ll be knackered tonight after all that.
ReplyDeleteNot sure of the meaning of the fire during the service. Did she do a few marshmallows on it? 😊 Fancy getting up that early to light a fire in the front garden. You’ll get locked up! The pics you took made it almost worthwhile though. It’s a good time of the day, so I’ve heard. Even though I’m up that early at times I tend not to venture outside to check it out. If I’m up early tomorrow I’ll pop into the back garden and light a fire just to annoy Ted 😊
The summerhouse looks really nice now it’s finished. Pity you had to have two sessions on it today though. Hopefully you’ll get chance to relax in it a bit now. Think you’ve earned it.
I do like the walled garden. I’d like one myself. Perfect place to sit out on a nice day and to have a table for your meals. A perfect private little place. Well maybe not so little.
Nice you got to catch up with the girls for a while. Technology has its good points.
Enjoy your program, if you stay awake.
I think another quiet day tomorrow might be in order, but you never know!
ReplyDeleteIt has been productive though which is always good.
Feeling like I may manage to stay awake for the program later as not too bad at the moment.
It is a nice time of the morning but does make it a long day!
