    So glad your swing arrived, you deserve it. Hope the weather bucks up a bit for you. I bought a lavender today or rather hubby bought it out of our " other things " budget lol

    I hope you are ok and quiet because of being swamped with work.

    Please make sure you have some time to sit outside and are getting ready to plant your lavender 😊

    Lol no time to sit outside. I look outside and it's 8pm when I started at 9 in the morning. It is the usual crazy time of year in my line of work! On the plus side I'm not spending any money!!! I have sent some money to my niece for her birthday but other than that I haven't spent anything.

    Lets hope for a return to summer and we can at least feel better for it.

    I reckon after next week some of the pressure will be off. Little work being done this weekend. I want to get on top of the garden which looks like a wilderness. I've got £70 in bank after all costs.  I hope so I am planning to:

    mow the grass, 
    plant purple flowers, 
    repot some gorgeous veg
    and also do some weeding. (but plenty left for tomorrow)

    I ordered some more petunias and some other flowers (£20)

    All sounds very positive and getting into the garden will do you some good after working as much as you have been.

    Today was spent doing housework. It is lovely outside. I am going to have a bit of a snooze then I have a tiny bit of admin to do for work. Ive just ordered 4 pairs of slippers. £30 left in bank but I do have £60 cash so that's ok. I am going to try to cut back some new trees that are coming up. I picked some lovely strawberries tonight.
