This morning I did get the exercises done so six sessions done, I think it is getting a bit easier, but I still dread them! Tina was going down to the leisure centre to get the car on charge so I went with her and we walked back through the town. We went in to Andy’s shop where we had bought quite a lot of stuff to see how he is as he had been in hospital last week. Tina had seen a large dragon that she wanted for her nephew and this handsome couple came home with us, thanks Tina!
Before lunch I went out into the front garde to work on the fairy garden, I was expecting deliveries of bird food so being in the front made sense so that I would see the van arrive. I lifted all the pavers off and stored them under the bench so that I could dig the bed.
I didn’t quite finish a the sun was really hot and it was lunch time.
Tina and I were entertained when watching the lunchtime news, the reporters were outside parliament and at first there was a full with a smallish placard saying that Brexit was a waste of time, then he had a mate join him and they were holding up a banner and dodging about to keep in shot. It was hilarious and we have no ide what the reporters were talking about!!
After lunchI went out and managed to transfer some of the veggie plants into the raised beds, had almost finished when Lesley arrived.
Lesley and I spent about an hour working in the garden, Lesley was clearing some of the sticky weed as she knows it brings me out in a rash. I did some hoeing and clearing on the bed near the summer house. Then we had a cup of tea sat in the summer house, there was some rain when we were sat there so we timed the weeding well! I took a couple of photos of plants, the blue flowers look stunning about the forget me nots. The other one is of a plant that pops up everywhere and we usually remove, but we thought we would let some flower and see what they were like.
It was quite late when I came upstairs and I am tired but really wanted to try the free motion feature on the machine, so, here is my first attempt on this machine, not perfect but pleased with my first attempt.
You have had a full day, as usual!
ReplyDeleteWell that’s the exercise is out the way again for a few days. I really hope after all the effort you’re putting into them that they actually do some good.
Love your new chickens for the garden. I wonder what the real birds will think of those?
The fairy garden looks a bit different now but it did in the last set of photos. Surprising what a little care and effort can do.
I didn’t watch the news much today so missed that myself. It is funny though and you do get some real plonkers in the background at times.
Quite a successful day in the garden for you, although with the exercises as well I’m sure you’re going to be quite achy again this evening. All worth it in the end though I suppose.
Good to see you found a little bit of time to do a bit on the new machine. That spiral looks pretty damn evenly spaced to me. Not as easy as it looks to do something like that. Did it feel a lot better to do on that machine?
Not feeling too bad at the moment, but the night usually lets me know!
ReplyDeleteI love the chickens, they look good by the greenhouse and it is near where I feed the birds!
I had poor thread in the machine and it snapped a few times, bit strange today but I will soon get used to it,
