Woke reasonably early, no bad dreams. My shopping friend had texted me last night, she urgently needed a form printed, was unable to print it herself and didn't know if the library would be open. Of course I was happy to print it for her, she called round for it this morning but wasn't able to stay and chat for more than a few minutes. It was good to see her anyway.
Did some domestic stuff then out for my walk, there were a number of people out, mainly dog walkers. Sun and clouds, a windy day, it was nice to be out, certainly blew the cobwebs away.
Had some lunch, was pleased (actually ecstatic!) to see NN's daughter had picked her up along with two of the visitors from yesterday who had presumably stayed overnight. Lockdown rules? What lockdown rules?!! It suited me fine as I was guessing it meant they'd be out of the way for quite some time.
Couldn't wait to get out in the garden, hung the washing out then made a start. I was able to remove a couple of the trellises and reposition, make a number of other alterations and hang a new trellis, hammered lots of nails in. It was so lovely being able to work undisturbed and I finally feel like I have some privacy and my garden is looking much better. It was getting windier but the sun was hot when it came out. Was dying for a cuppa so got my chair and Kindle out and had a rest. Did some weeding and tidying the passionflower that tries to take over the garden. Put a coat of yacht varnish on the bench (left over from when I varnished my yacht!). The bench doesn't look brilliant, more 'rustic' I'd say but it's not worth putting too much effort in on something that won't last much longer. Really enjoyed my peaceful afternoon in the garden.
Simple meal for tea, omelette, jacket potato, veg. Watched Simon Reeves in Greece, have seen it before, I prefer the less political programmes about Greece. I've travelled to a lot of places around the world but Greece and its people will always have a special place in my heart.
Tired tonight but it's been a good day, some rain forecast tomorrow.
