I'm starting off again as I'm really tired so won't feel like it later and will have forgotten half of it by tomorrow.
Had been thinking yesterday about whether I'd be feeling brave enough today to go to the local nurseries as I really wanted to buy some plants. The forecast was pretty wet and cold today and it lived up to it, quite a shock after the hot days we've had recently. I was half way to waking up and it was in my mind, didn't know if I was courageous enough. Then the daftest thing gave me a push, the bins were being emptied and I saw the binman put my bin back right outside my house, not just randomly along the street. Aaw, bless him, I thought. I
will go!
Got ready with plastic gloves etc, set off bearing in mind that the usual road I would go to it was closed at this end so would have to go round the main road and in the other end. Well when I got there the road seemed to be closed at that end so did a lengthy full circle, it was definitely closed at my normal end so round again I went. Saw a van going between the barriers so I followed and got there.
Very few people there, was looking for bedding plants, there wasn't much choice left but I got several trays of what was there. Trolleys weren't allowed in the building where you pay (this is just a nurseries, not a garden centre where you buy everything else in creation as well so not posh), called over and asked the lady what to do and she said she would come outside to me when she'd finished serving her customer. Got a couple of bags of compost, thought I might have trouble getting it in the limited space in my car but I did, left feeling happy and fifty quid lighter! So now they're all waiting to be planted.
Had lunch, phoned a friend and went for my usual walk. It was very quiet, a few dog walkers but the weather hadn't encouraged people out, it was proper chilly but the rain had stopped. Came home and did a few jobs around the house. Pasta for tea, some TV and Rootschatting.
Hope everything is good with everyone else.
