Posting before my eyes fall shut!
Beautiful sunny day. Was intending to call at the nurseries today and was thinking about the timing of that and my usual walk. As I'd arranged to go for a longer walk with friend J tonight I decided not to do the morning one and go to the nurseries then instead, I wanted to do some gardening this afternoon.
Chose some dwarf wallflowers for the front garden, went into the barn to pay and was looking at bulbs when the assistant walked past. Realised I'd forgotten to put my mask on, apologised to her and hastily put it on. There was no-one else inside. On my way out a man was coming in without a mask, I said in a lighthearted manner "Someone else who forgot to put a mask on! " He mumbled something but didn't put one on or go back out.
Drove home, nearly flattened a seagull that was coming in to land in the middle of the main road. Coming along my street saw NN was out cutting the lawn, as soon as she saw me she started fiddling around with the shrubs at the edge of my drive. Left my purchases in the boot, how disappointing for her. The constant spying on me is getting on my nerves again.
After lunch I took the plants out of the boot, NN had gone. Planted them then went into the back garden, the sun was actually quite hot. Dug out some crocosmia, another plant that takes over the garden. Moved some irises, they're getting crowded, pruned a hardy fuchsia then cut the lawn. Only another month before garden waste collections end.
Came in before I overdid things, had a cuppa and a rest before going to meet J. Really enjoyed our walk and catching up. Spag bol for tea with a glass of wine, had a refill later. Watched a programme about Harold Shipman, made my blood run cold. Bath and bed.
