New project lined up!

The sign I painted with the house number is showing serious signs of wear now. I saw some nice pieces of wood when I passed Martin’s house, he is the tree surgeon that we have had do some jobs for us in the past. I emailed him to see if I could buy one and he mailed back to say if I swung by today I could have one before they are taken away and fee of charge too! So Tina drove me up there after morning prayer, just as well as the chunk we chose is very big and heavy! It is in the porch to dry out properly and then I need to sand it some before I start painting. So plenty of time to decide on the design this time.

After that we drove up to the cemetery as Tina wanted to show me the massive pond they are digging. Also drainage channels as they are try to reduce the tendency to flood.

One of the cemetery as well as we were there!

I spent a long while sorting cupboards when we got back after nipping to the shops for a card. I spent well over an hour and ended up with very aching legs, standing around and bending is much more likely to cause me a problem than walking! So had my feet up for a while after that! After lunch I went down to the post box and on the way back I spotted these mushrooms in one of the shops and really loved them!

A few weeks back I bought and repotted a large daisy plant. It was well pot bound and had lots of dead buds on it. I kept dead heading and made sure it was well watered and now it is looking fabulous. The insects like it too!

I took some new bird food down to the cupboard and tidied it up and then went into the front garden. I was tired and thought I would just tidy along one side but then went across to the bed where the giant sea kale are. Ended up being out there quite while as one of the kale needed cutting back. Didn’t take a before but yu get an idea of how much I removed!

This evening I have watered both gardens. The spikes yellow flowers are opening in the front, but they are just as attractive when they are about to open.

In the back garden the bees are enjoying the sea holly.

I moved the mushrooms into a bed for now, but need to decide where their permanent home will be.

Watching the final episode of Sherwood now.
