Painter and garden

 Noel, the painter arrived quite early today and has been working steadily. It is slow progress but he is cleaning the masonry around the windows and is going to paint the sills. He finished off the French windows in the spare bedroom and worked on the outside of one of the bedrooms and one of the small windows in the dining room.

I popped out briefly a few times, took a bag of stuff to the charity shops, then along the road to post a birthday card and then along to Number Nine and had a chat with Haley and booked another workshop.

After lunch I went out with the strimmer to try and tidy the path be the front wall and the area where the brown bin is. I was soon using the hoe as the strimmer wasn clearing it that well.

I have made my wrists ache but hopefully now the weeds won’t grow too much before the winter sets in.

I did go out in te back garden for a while and hoed round the walled garden nd cut a few brambles. Took a couple of photos, bonsai trees nd Michaelmas daisies.

Thursday is usually take away day but as Tina is away during the week we have changed it to Fridays, so I cooked dinner for when Darren came home.

I will visit Be, for an hour tomorrow morning but have asked Jean to come to me so that I am not out too much of the day while Noel is here.
