"Your life is an occasion. Rise to it"

Never went to the OS board, got stuck on here for **hours**.... when I finally switched it off, after nibbles, I got out into the garden for a good long while - cut some grass (with shears :o:o - its okay, I'm insane :eek:), chopped back *more* ivy, bagged more nasty mossy stones for dumping, did actually dump one small lot, bagged lots more "soil" from under the kitchen window. It went well :j

I used to do my garden with shears! It's a very cheap outlay and I just used to cut a winding path down to the shed and leave the rest wild. It was awesome

Sounds like you've had a fab weekend

Good morning. Between Taxi here at 2:50 and me at 5:50, your diary had a very short rest.

I read the article by Alys in the Guardian and thought of you.

Thanks for that, vl! I'm glad somebody else does it! I suppose I feel so crazy doing it because I actually have a strimmer myself, plus an electric lawnmower my sister gave me, but somehow I can't bring myself to use them :question::question::question: in any case, the plan is to widen the borders quite a lot, so there are at least two "rows" of plants - espaliers/things that need height at the back, herbs and whatnot at the front. There'll also be room needed for the container-y things I've got for growing tatties

Morning Tricia! Thank you :kisses3: And you're right, the diary seems to have been bouncing overnight, just a little :rotfl: I know Taxi's often a nightowl, but this was *early* for you - hope you were getting up on purpose, and not just sleepless :kisses3:

I slept pretty well :j and I've just been happily admiring some rosehip recipe links that RT sent me :kisses3:

Today, hmmm, this is the list:
- meditation class! Dropin, no compulsion, not till 7.30 tonight - I *feel* like I'll go to it, and I think the alternative of not doing anything and having no excuse (apart from not-wanting) to go to the local thingy will ensure that I go :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
- got a reference to write, that must go off today.
- bit more work in the garden - a bit of ordinary weeding and planting, a bit more digging up clods to widen the borders, and a bit more getting rid of stones (i.e. a local walk ).

Plus a few bits and bobs online ....

And another cup of tea :coffee:

Hey up excellent progress!

I cut my 'what pretends to be a lawn' with the mower, I should have used the strimmeer, couldn't face it. I think I'm scared of the strimmer!

Have a great day I'm tootling off in a mo

Rosehips now we've got those I might go a foraging with mutley later

Karmacat

The first frost is mentioned, Pippi, to help with the colour .... I'll send you the links.
