Take it easy over the weekend if you can whilst the vaccine is doing it’s magic 👍
Wish I was nearer you as would have snaffled some of those lavenders!
I do need to do some weeding at some point but it is not the end of the world if it is not done,
The areas where I planted all the wildflowers are currently doing zilch, nada.

Sorry to hear you suffered after effects too. All in a good cause though. The Indian strain is worrying it seems to be creeping in everywhere. I can’t help thinking the UK should’ve closed its borders a long time ago like New Zealand and Australia. No one in, no one out unless absolutely necessary.Mr SA has loads of walking sticks dotted about everywhere inside and outside.Bigs hugs on Best Boy’s birthday. My old boy only just made his 21st, passed just 2 months after.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

It’s such a pity your best boy missed his 21st....you’ll have to raise a glass in his honour 🥂🥂🥂
It’s good to have sticks dotted about the place. The physio suggested a folding one for if I’m on a long walk....mmmmm. The verdict is still out as I link ds if I’m out on a long walk. I tend not to walk too far on my own. I left my crutch and had to go back for it a couple of times once I was on the mend after the spinal bleed so I know I’d leave a walking stick if I was out and about😂😂😂 I would get one if I thought I needed it.
When is her 80th birthday?Don’t give up on the wildflower seed - it took a while for ds to get going last year.....then they were lovely. I’m not sure what’s wild flower and what’s weed this year though 😲January spends - £587.585 -
My wild flowers took a while to appear. I love poppies and it really annoys me I can’t seem to grow them in my garden yet they randomly grow wild in the pavements locally 🤔 Buttercups on the other hand love my garden so much they practically take it over, although they are very pretty and I don’t have the heart to pull them up 😊I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
