A gardeners work is never done!

After the shopping had been delivered I went to the bakers to get some rolls and some goodies for Bel. Then went to give her the treats and her birthday card. I got three loads of washing done as Tina hasn’t been up to laundry while she is poorly. Got them all out onto the line and they were dry by this evening, which was great. One more load to go in the morning. After a bit of a break I went out to start on the front lawns. The bigger one first.
This bee was walking across the grass, I couldn’t really see what I was taking so not too bad!
The lawn took a bit longer that I thought, found it tiring today but it is worth it,
After lunch I decided to start on the corner lawn.
That one didn’t take too which was good.
I got a second wind and spent a long time clearing back along the right hand side of the garden, no photos but it was worse than the other side! I got the front garden watered before dinner and after we had eaten I did the back garden. Gone 8pm before I got up here and now have my feet up.
This geranium is very pretty, it has just opened in one of the tubs.
The weight of the bedcovers makes it difficult for me to toss and turn, which I do a lot. Mike suggested getting a frame so I ordered one and it arrived today! That will really confuse Pandora when it is under my covers!
That’s it for now, cheering myself up watching Casualty!!

  1. You really have been a busy bee today. It’s been quite hot here, so if you’ve had the same I bet you’re well and truly knackered tonight. But the lawns do look really nice. I think doing them by hand has really improved them in leaps and bounds. Lots of other jobs done too, with the washing etc. I really don’t know where you get your energy and your get up and go from! An hour and a half’s watering isn’t the best way to end a hard days work either!
    I bet Bel was happy with the bits you got her for her birthday. Quite unexpected I bet.
    Good luck with the bed frame. In theory it should help. I’ll be interested to see what Pandora makes of it 😊
    Enjoy Casualty……televisions answer to self flagellation 😂

  2. Yes, it has been a busy day and I am pretty tired now,
    The mowing with the .’old fashioned’ machine is making a difference to the look of the lawns in the front,
    On a way it is a chore pegging everything out on the line, but so worth having everything dry the same day.
