Mostly chores and taking it easy

I was up pretty early and fed the wildlife and the cats! Prepared some veg for later and got the meet into the slow cooker then did quite a bit of overdue ironing. I gave the hobby horse a good clean so that it is at its best when it goes home to Anya. 
We had dinner at two today as I go and visit Sarah and David on Monday evenings. After dinner I went to Freeport with Tina, she had a piece of pottery she had painted at the ceramic studio to collect and I wanted to go to the Pavers shop. We had a nice cup of coffee and Tina is pleased with her little painted bird.
I managed to find a pair of stretchy sandals similar the the pair I collected last week, as the are extremely comfortable.
I had to unpack some bird food, so took some pictures of the sunflowers. Mostly multi coloured but I really like the lemon coloured one as well.


The calla lilies are really established now, the red one is definitely forming a new flower and both have new leaf spirals


Tina came out to see the plants and then we sat in the walled garden for a few minutes. A thirsty wasp was hanging around so I dripped some water onto the umbrella on the fountain. The wasp and it’s friend soon sussed it out!
I hadn’t seen Sarah and David for a couple of weeks so we had a bit to catch up on. Watching a Marple on the box now.

  1. Sounds like a full day for you. At least you got out for a little ride to Freeport. I think the little bird the Rev did is very cute.
    I do think all the sunflowers look good. They stand out from the crowd and can’t fail to be seen. You have some nice colours. My favourite is the last one.
    I really like the wasp pic. That’d look good cropped in a bit I think.
    Well that’s another varied day nearly over, I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

  2. I am really pleased with the sunflowers.
    I was happy with the wasp photo, quite chuffed when they came to the water.
