Breaking Through, Travelling On

Goldiegirl

Good idea to squeeze the Monday into the previous week - you don't want the countdown clock to suddenly start going upwards. That wouldn't do at all !


It so mild outside at the moment. We've also done a bit more garden work today. Usually, by December, we're tucked up inside, but this year, autumn seems to be going on and on

Its far too cold up here for gardening! You are very brave!

Thought of you today KC while I was pottering about weeding the path outside the door Pulled up a load of that stuff that Pippi likes that I can never remember the name of, with the green flowers I've loved having it there, but it's just growing in the gap between the house and pavings, there's not actually a bed - and it's gone all brown and lanky now - so out it came

(I didn't stay out for long though, it was quite cold...)

Cheery, I'm honoured :j

Earthgirl, I'm sorry you and Cheery are having it so cold, but as Goldie says, its really mild down here - this morning, in fact, I didn't need the heating on! I'm sweltering now because I've had it on to finish off the stuff that was on the line

I *did* get out to do the gardening - another square foot of garden freed from the ridiculous strawberries

Before that, however, I had to deal with a flood upstairs a tap that was left on nearly flooded the place. The floor covering was professionally laid and sealed, so I don't think any leaked through to the rafters etc, but only because it was so noisy I interrupted the session and went to see what was going on :eek: I'm not a fan of floods, having had one already ...

Am happy I just have writing work tomorrow :j:j:j haven't done enough this week, though I do need to do supermarket shopping first thing. I can live with that

Crikey KC! :eek: Glad you caught it in time and without it causing a load of damage :eek: What a palaver though!

:j yay to more strawberries being cleared :j :j Very impressed by this gardening a few minutes at a time business Because my garden is so small I feel I have to do the whole lot at once, but then I don't... Will yours be nicely cleared and planted ready for the spring do you think? So lovely to be able to have breakfast outside surrounded by spring flowers :j

I love these shoes and when I saw that they are now reduced I just HAD to share KC

Oh wow - now those are seriously lovely - may have to get a pair for work - they would go with skirts & trousers!

Definitely! I mopped the worst of it up by putting the towel on the floor and then "skating" which was fun in itself, but not something you want to *have* to do!

It's needs must to do it bit by bit, but I really enjoy it - certainly the four foot wide border by the patio will be cleared and planted by spring - I want to put the garlic in some of that, anyway - but what I really want there are herbs, to just pop out and pick. Edible flowers will do nicely too - whether for me or the bees, I'm not fussy which :j but nearly everything has to have a use apart from looking good (though it has to look good too!). My standards are getting very high, which I love.

I say! The detailing on those is beautiful, the way the materials fold to form the bow ... I hadn't seriously considered hotter, I confess - the shoes people around me buy from there are quite practical, but those are lovely.

I did manage to go to the supermarket this morning, but it really wiped me out, which is why I'm on here late-for-me. Still, got what I wanted, including a battery for the smoke alarm and some bulbs for the kitchen light, which decided to go-slow last week.

Right now, hmmm, I think I might do more strawberry clearing - the worms have had time to get safe from my trowel (another reason I don't do too much at once!). And if the threatening rain starts up, I can grab the washing quickly and run inside, a classic activity from my childhood :rotfl:
