Bit of gardening, lot of reading!

The weather has been pretty nice today. I went out and  got the usual shopping and then again to Countdown and the Refill shop as they both open a bit later. I have ordered 25K of peanuts for the birds but don’t know when they are arriving and I only have enough for tomorrow, so Countdown was the place to go to get some reasonably priced ones to feed them until the order arrives. It is good to have a refill store over the road now, although we were always happy with the deliveries from Beverley. I have read quite a lot of the day, never got through a book so quickly. I had no idea that Graham Norton had written any novels until I spotted The Keeper at The Works last week. It was a real page turner and very unusual, I have ordered a second hand copy of his only other novel, hope it is as good.
The other day when I was writing a letter I was looking into the garden and the carpet, that we put down to smother the weeds by the wall appeared to look like grass from a distance. It is actually now my own moss supply!
After lunch I did go out to tidy the front garden u for a while. The two photos really don’t look any different but after pruning and a bit of weeknight I did fill the garden cart!
When I was getting tea I noticed the sky was rounding off a good day with a splash of colour!
I did start one of the new jigsaws yesterday evening but only got the edges done. So maybe a picture when there is something to see!

  1. It has been nice today, even I ventured out for a little while. Not done anything worthwhile like weeding and tidying though. At least you didn’t go too mad at it and overdo things, hopefully.
    You really have enjoyed that book. I do hope the one you’ve sent for is as good.
    There looks to be enough moss there for several dozen terrariums! I assume it is usable for them?
    The front garden is still looking very nice. All the hard work paid off in the end. I know it still needs attention, but at least not major work.
    What a lovely pic to finish with. Perfect end to a day.

  2. I will try and get garden enthusiasm back now, it has been a while since I got stuck in.
    The sky changing colour did round the day off nicely.
    Maybe the boot sale tomorrow, think the weather is due to be okay again.
