What are you up to today?

kircubbin2000 Mine at the front are like that. I got most of the weeds out then poured salt into the cracks, worked s treat last year.

Not a lot, as I’ve had a busy few days and am now recuperating, so spending the day, reading, on GN and doing a very small amount of weeding plus went to the hygienist.

Went to Pilates then garden centre and then Tesco. Popped into farm shop for meat and now home crashed in the garden with my book. I feel shattered!! My get up and go has truly gone. DH has left his breakfast and lunch plates etc on the side he has half done the ironing and left ironing board up in lounge with TV on loud and sound asleep in the garden. What has been ironed needs putting away!! How I wish someone would clear up after me 😂

Hadn't thought of sand for the patio. It may be too late as the cracks are full of weeds.

I have just been out to feed my tomatoes.
Unfortunately, ( being vertically challenged) I couldn't quite reach the ones in hanging baskets. I have just had a shower of tomato feed.It is in my hair and all over my face and clothes. I am an eejit!

Today I had my 3 year old DGS and took him to a play group. Took him home and DD made me lunch, a chicken salad with a delicious dressing.
A quick pop home to be greeted by two bouquets.
Then off to a friends house to sort out craft projects for next term at the craft club that we run.
This evening I shall catch up with a on line art class.

Not quite what the table is meant for but I’ve earned it!😂

Getting ready for family.
First of 3 groups this summer.

Decided to redo my patio, brushing sand in between the cracks, looked so much better the last time I did it but with all the rain it’s washed out.
Cut the lawn and tidied the boarders. My sunflowers are doing really well this year, had to go out and buy longer canes for them. Now just sat with my feet up before starting tea.

Spent several hours today clearing out very large window boxes, refreshing compost and replanting them.

Cleared up my kitchen, hung out washing, washed and dried pots. Did some ironing whilst watching Kings speech. Dusted and hoovered my living room. Brought washing in. Hung out more washing. More jobs this afternoon!

I have done two loads of washing and got them out on the whirly. I cleared out the bottom drawer of the fridge which was pretty gruesome. Then emptied the car boot of clutter, filled the bin with said clutter and cleaned rubbish from inside the car. I weeded the front and back garden. Emptied and loaded the dishwasher. I've also sorted out the car insurance. I've picked lots of lavender and put it in small vases in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen so the house smells lovely. I need to organise an mot next but I'm prevaricating.

15. 45 - Wednesday - 17th of July ..

Just finished lunch a little while ago and now I am off to walk to the Gym ..

Then on return trip home, I shall stop at the Farmer´s Market and pick up some fresh fruits and veggies of the season.

Nice afternoon wishes.

Waved goodbye to DH as I went off swimming - he was painting the garage door. Returned 30 seconds later when I realised I was wearing my slippers. Swam 30 lengths, did a bit of food shopping and came home to make lunch. Sorted out various piles of washing and DH went out to try and pick the flies off the wet paintwork. Procrastinated next [puzzles / scrolling / Gransnet] and now I'm going to try and finish a quilt I'm making for our Linus group. Love, love love that I am able and free to spend my days as I wish. Half day volunteering tomorrow and maybe more work on the quilt in the afternoon. Counting my blessings as I go.

Helped out at our Community fridge and went to the supermarket on the way home. Now going to have a cup of tea and read my book.

The sun is shining so I have finally managed to finish assembling some garden furniture which had to be done outside as it’s too big to get through the back door. I discovered this to my cost when I had to take the first chair apart after I’d stood back to admire my efforts….and then the penny dropped! 😂

Got back from France at midnight. Slept in until 8.00am, then spent the morning sorting and unpacking the car. Washing is on and lunch has been eaten. Now to follow up and reply to all my emails.

I'm on the train back from Glasgow after visiting the Swatch shop, where they fitted a new battery free of charge and polished the watch face. Great service.
I also popped into JL, but suprisingly didn't buy anything, despite seeing lots of things I liked!
After months of looking for a specific household item, I unexpectedly came across it
in a sale at half price with an additional 15% off. I am well chuffed!
However, as usual I have overdone things, it will be an afternoon of rest.

That brings back memories. I have a Swatch watch from the 80's. It is called a skeletol watch and is very, very thin with a silver strap.

I got up and brought my neighbours bins in, they leave them out for days if I dont bring them in. I swept the drive, did some deadheading of roses and wiped down the windows paintwork. Cut some massive headed hydrangeas for my vases and then it absolutely threw it down.

Carer, taxi service, cleaner is the honest answer

I'm between writing projects and in the middle of a massive clearout of my study. Still at the exhausting stage with not much to show for it.
Bit of gardening this afternoon. My wonderful clump of phloxes took a bit of a battering in the rain yesterday.

Having done a lot of gardening-I woke up feeling tired and achy .
I've just done basic essentials and am about to go shopping .
I'm wondering if I can face another discussion about my reclusive neighbour's broken fence and the weeds that climb over and go under .
I realised yesterday that time has stood still for nearly 40 years - after he moved in .
Soon his house will be enveloped in thorny brambles .
He's no Prince and I'm not kissing him awake .

Woke about 3.45am with my back and my knees hurting quite a lot. couldnt get back to sleep, tried but didnt work and then read for a little while. Gave up and put washing on, got back ready and went swimming, there by 7am. Struggled with swimming but am pleased I made the effort, It does help me to stretch out and get my legs moving properly again, Only did 14 lengths and it was quite an effort, but worth it. Went and had a coffee in cafe nero. Had a look in charity shops but didnt see anything I wanted, Went to check that my rail journey was booked correctly and no bad surprises. Sadly they had problems at the station as there had been a fatality on the line. Very weary now and no great ideas for dinner.

I've done my washing but I'm putting it in the tumble dryer as thunderstorms are forecast for this afternoon, and the clouds are building up as I write.
I am planning to crochet some more of my jumper and try it for fit. I'll have to find my stitch markers as I've got to divide for the arm holes. It's crocheted from the top down.
