Chores, a visit and bit of gardening

This morning I used the electric steam mop and tackled the bathrooms, not done as regularly as they should be. Then I sorted the cake tins and put all the ones I have used this year into a marked box, just in case I feel inclined to continue the cake making! I took kitchen stuff I had sorted over to the charity shop.
I went to see Sarah and David fora bit and then watched qualifying with Darren andTina who called into see it on the big tv. They went back to the lodge when it finished.
I went out into the garden when they left and edged some of the flower beds. The sunflowers are now ridiculously tall and a couple are just opening.
Darren and Tina visited Ruston Monolith, the tallest standing stone in the country, pretty impressive.
Just a couple of cute bird pics, not sure what the first one is, the second a chaffinch..
Starting packing for my few days at the lodge, looking forward to that.

  1. A mixed day for you then. Still sounds like you’ve done too much though.
    If you do decide not to do the cakes next year, it’ll be sad, but totally understandable. I’d find it hard work doing one, so eleven would drive me nuts, not to mention all the hard work involved.
    Blimey, those sunflowers certainly have shot up! It really is amazing how fast they grow. They look great.
    Darren does look a bit dwarfed by the monolith. It’s amazing how they moved something that big and heavy back then.
    A few days rest at the lodge and lots of dips in the hot tub will do you the world of good.

  2. Yes, feeling quite tired so a restful lodge will be great.
    The sunflowers are very tall, hopefully a few more will be open when we come back on Thursday.
