Plant calendula

Look at shed and think about where to put it (three sheds in one garden, honestly)

Most of yesterday's list stands as TRG took a cheeky wee half day and we ended up oot for a walk and a bit of lunch.

Add to todays list.

Dogs haircuts
Banks
Meet a chum for a cuppa
Do yesterdays list.
Put a note up for gate delivery on the door as the bells broken
CLEANING
Organise TRG's birthday/wee housewarming bash. We're being very MSE and hosting a POT LUCK tea.

Nothing to be with being tight berstewards honestly.

TRG is a bit crook today, so not sure when/if he'll work. He's certainly not going anywhere today thus far.

Oh I didn't see that before but I did now thank you. I'm still slightly sulking with my favourite garden for NOT giving me a job. But, I'll get over it soon enough.

You going?

I was thinking about going on the 13th of July because there's tea tasting Let me know if you fancy a cuppa

Hope TRG is feeling better soon. Not nice to be poorly on/near your birthday.

:rotfl: at the hounds forgetting to water the plants!! They should know that everyone has to earn their keep!

:j to gate delivery. That was quick! Or have I lost a couple of days? I may have as yesterday was very stressful (turned out okay in the end though )

Progress today is limited.

We won't have scurvy - supersixs and other veg/fruit now safely dans la hoose.

I have a car full of plants from a chum (free lunch too

Might have swapped a large sofa for a sofa bed

Feeling a bit meh - so decided to write rather than action any, erm, action. And me tutor man said to write for five minutes a day for practice so today I've done me homework

So done a wee bloglet about the hoose (still being tidy no less) with some bonnie pics (well seen we're not messy enough for a photo embargo yet).

If ya want a wee neb, linkie here.

Nae pressure peeps. Must forage for tea.

Doglets look utterly ridiculus and Haggis - who knew he had tiger stripes?

Both clipped for £35/each with a free bag of biscuits and a points card.

:money:

I know a packet of ham and a pair of clippers is more :money::money: but I do like my fingers.
