Spreading my wings!

Slowly I am getting to get out and about, not that the inclination to do so has been a burning desire, but it is time I think. I did go to the shop a couple of nights ago, no one in there and I used the self check out, so a gentle stop back into normality. Yesterday it was a daylight walk and went into the post office, again, the only customer at the time. This morning Tina took me to the garden centre as I had run out of nuts and suet nuggets for the birds. We went just after nine, getting petrol on the way and the garage was empty apart from us and three staff on hand to serve Tina in the shop! There were a few cars at the garden centre but they have a very well organised one way system going and we went straight it. Only got the peanuts but a lot of other stuff on the way, no real surprise there! Got a new garden cart, a fab new hoe and some other bits. Ended up with a bill of over £70, pretty good going when I went for a bit of bird food!

I have had a pink garden cart for years, it is a bit cracked in the base now but has given such good service that I have been thinking I will make it into a planter rather than take it to the dump. This morning we both went out into the garden, Tina worked on the driveway, she did a fantastic job. I hoed the front bed and then planted out about twenty geraniums. After lunch I got set to and cleaned up the pink cart.

I sorted out some paints and brushes and made a start with the painting. I have a small selection of paints and some of those are drying out. I had greens so ivy it is! When I was painting Pandora got in the seat behind me, she jumps on this seat if I move to go to the loo or make a drink! This time she just moved in with me!

I had to mix a green and then had to mix it a second time as I couldn’t finish what I had drawn. Finished for today but will add different greens and maybe yellow., and I have browns for the stems.

Have managed to find some more Ghana photos so will finish today’s post with a couple more.
