Moon shot with a story!

Yesterday evening I walked down to the leisure centre car park with Tina as she had her car on charge there. There was a bright moon so photo stops were included!
As we turned the corner near the church the moon looked really bright so we crossed the road to get a better view, somehow my toes came out of my sandals and I could feel myself going, called to Tina, thought I had got my balance and then was flat out on the pavement! Took the most of the fall on the operated knee, it is pretty sore! But still took the photo and then another one when we got to the car.


I didn’t sleep well but wasn’t in too much extra pain today. When I went out to feed the birds there was a shield beetle on the wall.
There was an insect on the twin sunflower.
The new gladioli I planted this year are doing well, the pink ones are lovely and I staked one the was bending down the fence and now it is straight and extremely tall!


I went out a couple of times after the shopping had arrived, the first time to get the weekend lunch stuff and the second time to have a look at the craft fair and then to get some plants to go in the cleared bed. Then this this afternoon I had a couple of sessions in the garden. The first time I cleared the next part of the bed I had started.


This ladybird looked good against this heuchera leaf.
I bought sixteen plants and they are all in the bed I cleared yesterday, not that it looks a lot different. I also transplanted a couple of brunera plants.
This white poppy has just opened, just beautiful.
Watching Strictly so all for now.

  1. You’re definitely not safe to be let, well on your own at least 😊 Could have been a lot worse, but it still gives you a bit of a shock when it happens. Lucky you’re not suffering too much because of it today. You still got your moon shots though 😊
    I do like the gladioli. They display very well. Dame Edna had good taste!
    The beds are looking good. They bigger than you imagine though as 16 new plants hardly touch it!
    That’s a great pic of the ladybird. That leaf makes a smashing background.
    Strictly isn’t bad at all. Enjoy.

  2. I was thinking I need loads more plants, hundreds for both gardens!
    Good that I didn’t do any lasting damage, to me or the pavement!
