Bit of gardening, bit of walking

 Unbeknown tomeTina had taken a photo of me working on the jigsaw before starting the day properly, with a not very helpful assistant!

I did go out in the garden for a while, I wanted to get a couple of plants into pots and clear a bit more of the bed by the hedge so that I could get the third heuchera in. The plants are now in the pots and the bed cleared although it was the hardest section yet!

After lunch I walked to Dunkeld, I wanted to get a small gift for someone and I did take my sketchbook.
This was a different view from where I was sitting.
Although I feel a bit better in myself today, walking back from Dunkeld I was really struggling again and it is less than a mile. Flopped in the chair for an hour or so when I got in. Tina got home quite late from a visit and said the pizza van was still by the arts centre, so I nipped over and got tea! Took a couple of pics while I was waiting.
Will finish with a couple of pics of Pandora enjoying the sunshine.

  1. Unhelpful assistant....Tina or the cat? 🙂
    Even a little bit of gardening a day can be quite hard consisering all the roots your'e having to dig out. You do seem as though you're taking it a bit easier these days. Which is definitely a good thing. Little and often as they say. It's gradually creeping along, before you know it you'll be at the end! It definitely looks better after a bit of TLC.
    Once again I like the sketch. It's nice when you go for a walk like that, it's just the coming back that's the hard bit. Flopping in the chair is so nice too 🙂
    Pizza for tea saved a bit of cooking, and I bet it tasted good. I like the frog.
    You should relax in the sunshine like Pandora. Maybe not curled up on the floor though, getting back up is a bugger 😂

  2. Tina sorted some pieces for me, Pandora just likes to lay on the jigsaw, likes to be near her people wherever they are!
    I think the garden has to be done in small chunks now, it seems to have more weed and roots as I go along.
    It was a lovely day, turned really too warm so I was over dressed, which didn’t help, but at least I sat while doing the sketch.
    The pizzas from the van are very good.
