Slow start but improving

I had an uncomfortable night, had over eaten and paid the price! So I sat in bed and did my daily puzzles on the iPad and then read a bit more of the Salman Rushdie book Knife. Some more buttons arrived and I sorted most of them but gave up on the tiny ones, I will take them to the workshop in case anyone is keen to use them. 

After lunch I did go into the garden, the sunflowers in the cold frame were very leggy and needed to go into the ground. I had planted a dozen directly into the ground but none of them germinated, the ones in the cold frame were from the same packed so it must have been due to the strange weather.

There were weeds in the bed but also some self sewn marigolds, so I hoed round them.

I am not sure they will survive the wind and rain, if it comes, as they are so spindly.

I went into the front garden and managed to get twenty of the plants I bought yesterday into the front bed.

I did do some strimming and cleared the worst of the weeds in the walled garden.

I took a few random photos in the garden.

We had fish and chips for tea which was tasty.

It occurred to me the the wooden owl Darren got me on Saturday would be a good shape for a button picture. I used some of the small buttons but it would work with others.

Having a quiet evening now.
