Sunny Saturday
It's been a lovely Sunny Saturday here and it's been mostly been spent in the garden. Because I was in work last week it did actually feel like a real Saturday this morning when I got up and not a lockdown one. It still has that feeling now. Signs of the lockdown were there though. I had my butcher deliver my meat instead of traipsing uptown for it. The roads and skies were quiet and every single parking space was occupied on my street.
So for years, I've had a compost bin down the bottom of the garden, and it was kind of in the way of the back gate. Was not a problem when we didn't need to use it but since Bluebell, when we have used it is it so easy as the back ginnel does lead directly onto the playing field where I walk her and not only that - coming in that way especially after the rain means I can hose her off in the garden = less mud through the house! Plus it will be easier to put the bins out! I have called our compost bin the tardis for years!Bluebell was taken for long walkies by Mr 23 whilst we did the messy stuff because she is too 'helpful'. It looks nice and tidy now. Soon the bluebells will make way for the irises.
I've taken a photo of the allium. and if I can be arsed when it's finally open I could do a time lapse thing!
We will see. For tea, I made deli plates Rachel style of cheese and biscuits, salami, roast chicken finger sandwiches and some posh salt n vinegar cracker crisps things. Very beige! Although I did have some juicy cherry tomatoes. Really nice for a change. BBQ tomorrow if the weather holds - though the forecast is set to change back to normal. My prickly heat came out with a vengeance - forgot to start taking ant histamines and didn't put sunblock on. Nevermind.
I saw this jigsaw whilst on facebook and am dithering if I could spent £18 on a jigsaw. Dithering towards a no right now. Too expensive.
Lots and lots of love from
