The Met Office got it right, it was sunny all day. Arranged with J to meet for our weekly walk at 5pm. Put spag bol ingredients in the slow cooker and went into the garden. It was breezy and a bit cooler but the sunshine was lovely. Started on the messy corner, dragged out lots of plant pots ranging in size from very small to huge. The huge one unfortunately has a crack in it. Pulled out the stand, it was a wooden shoe stand in a former life. Hosed it down on the patio, I was going to paint it with fence paint but couldn't get the top off the container. Levelled the soil in the now cleared corner and cut off a piece of the thick plant membrane that I'd bought online. Laid it and put the stand and pots back. All of this was heavy work and my shoes were getting progressively muddier. At some point during this I had some lunch then back to it. It's not finished but is looking better already. I eventually stopped what I was doing before I'd done too much.
Out to meet J at 5pm, it was still light, we had a good long walk. It was getting a bit chillier later, had worn my thinnest gloves, should have worn a thicker pair. Home to spag bol, watched Your Garden Made Perfect, it was quite a challenge for the designers this week but I think they did well. Bath and bed, worn out.......
