Waiting for the parcel to be collected,between7 am and 8 pm!
So having a nice cuppa.Not hungry yet.
The beef joint my son got me for weekend from Morrison’s was diabolical.
I did it gently but so tough .
All the faffing about with yorkies too!
I won’t even bother mincing it for cottage pie. I looked at it and thought%#&£# it I am only going to eat fish from now on!
No plans for today other than to cut material for simple blinds in the utility room which is glass on two sides .Facing South and West .
The heat in there - phew!
Plus it is the room where you put something away and run ! It is so full.
Step ladders ,ironing board ,clothes maiden,washer, vases,vac,quick tidy up ewebank thingy, washing baskets, tools for quick repairs, jam jars for jam making etc etc.
Also when I have just tidied it , there is no real difference.
The contents can be seen from the side lane so I want to have white blinds.
Number one son may be able come in before too long and help. unchoke my machine( and put up fixtures for the blinds .
I think I might need the sewing machine shop to service it.They had a branch in Bury but moved to Blackburn I think.
I do have my ancient one but can’t lift it onto the table.
Son again! Well that is what you have them for isn’t it!
Other son is “ Dahn Saff “ Surrey don’t you know or Sarry where he takes barths.Daughter in Suffolk.
So number one son (who was almost the cause of his father’s early demise
by falling downstairs with laces tied together) is my handyman.
No plans for today ,will just check with him what fixtures are ok for the blinds ,he goes to Screwfix regularly under normal circumstances .
The blinds will not be roll up ones ,just in place ,white so light gets through
but hopefully a bit cooler in there and my household junk will not be on view to passers by.
At present you could ripen tomatoes in there !
Must dead head the aquilegias, the seeds get everywhere and gradually only purple ones blooming, used to be some pink .
I throw many seeds in the in the lane verges and lovely flowers grow, bluebells, pink bladder campion, two kinds if wild geranium, pink and purple, yellow welsh poppies,foxgloves I put ther hsve leaves but as yet no flowers ,perhaps next year.And Aquiligias.
Montbretia is diminishing gradually.
Must phone someone who I hope to visit ASAP in Shropshire.
Been promised some seeds for my garden of the gorgeous Oriental Poppies a neighbour has ,seed heads not yet ripe .
Little pepper pots.
Well must get on with nothing really pressing but better done than left.
No hurry.
I want Henry the “over the lane “cat to come and sit on my little patio with
me as long as he does not leave messages in the flower beds
Hope everyone has a good day, cheerio for now.
Viktoria.
