This morning I managed to get through to the hospital and was told that Margherita was okay and had breakfast, so she had obviously recovered reasonably from the anaesthetic ok. I did a couple of household chores and nipped to the shop to get lunch and was ready for Bel to pick me up at ten. She wanted to go to Freeport to get something to wear when her nephew and family come over to celebrate her ninetieth birthday in a couple of weeks. She hadn arrived by ten past ten so I tried phoning and then took a walk round to her house. She was fine, had been struggling to get her walker into the car as she manages better with that than on two sticks and it has a seat so she can have a rest when she needs it. She got some clothes she liked in the first shop, we did browse in a couple of others and then had a coffee before coming home. Took this pic because the plant caught my eye.
After lunch Tina gave me a lift to the sea front as I had some honesty plants I had lifted for Jean. I took a couple of shots and then took a slow walk the rest of the way.
Took this photo for Mike as I know how he loves pastel coloured houses, especially pink ones,
After tea I spent about an hour in the garden, making a start on clearing the weed and unwanted plant bonanza near the bird feeding area,
A lot still to do and unbelievable amounts of roots, but at least there won’t be huge ones to dig out for a while now!
Not planning on doing much else this evening.
Only one hour in the garden is definitely an easy day for you!
ReplyDeleteGlad Bel was ok. I bet you were starting to worry when she didn’t turn up or answer the phone. Did she get the clothes on approval again without paying like last time? 😊
Blimey, I think that’s the most people I’ve seen in one of your beach pics for a while. You usually manage to make it look deserted. I suppose pastel coloured houses have there place at a seaside resort, and I can almost tolerate any of the colours apart from pink! Stupid colour to paint a house. They need me on the local council!
You never know what you’ll get growing under a bird table, some of those seeds are “exotic” 😄
A restful evening sounds a good way to end a steady day.
Quite a good day, and some rain on and off so no watering required! Bel had to pay this time, but she kept the receipt but hopefully they will be okay,mmoare traditional than the stuff from Missy.
DeleteMy hand was bad last night and hasn’t been great today, so fingers crossed that it will let me sleep for a while tonight!
