Darren did drive back via the sea but there was nowhere to park so I gave it a wave s we drove by!
I had a chat with Anya and got some washing out on the line. Darren noticed yesterday that the water feature Tina had been given last year had begun to work. Unfortunately Tina has just ordered a replacement motor! So today, as it was working again I cleaned the water as it was full of leaves.
Darren went off to an archery meeting in Burton Constable and after lunch with Tina I went into the front garden for a while. I had intended tiding the bed where the giant sea kale are in the corner bed but ended up defining the edge at the back of the front bed. Harder that I had thought as the new edging tool hasn’t got a sharp edge and my legs aren’t as strong as they used to be! I worked for over an hour but knees and wrists weee telling me it was time to stop!
I made toad in the hole for dinner, one of Darren’s favourites and Tina had ordered a cake. The toad turned out really well, they don’t always!
I have had a shower and am feeling very weary and quite achey but a quiet, garden free day, tomorrow as it is the final part of the icon painting course.
Well if the weather was as nice with you as it was here it was a great day for birthdays. You were both very good and didn’t come back with handfuls of finds. I’m sure you’ll get around to using the frames, when you’ve finished the gardening 😊 That’s a great car. It’s a big old Dodge, so I bet it drinks the petrol as fast as you put it in! Not so good these days.
ReplyDeleteThe fountain is typical. The minute you order bits it starts to work! Maybe she can return the motor.
That garden will be the death of you! Glad you’re having a break from it tomorrow. The icon course has gone by very quickly. I know you’ve enjoyed it a lot. Will you get it finished tomorrow?
Sounds like Darren has had a good day, and has been quite spoiled.
Enjoy your evening, hopefully relaxing.
Another good day although probably better without the gardening or if I was considerably fitter!
ReplyDeleteI will hopefully get the icon finished tomorrow.
