Travelling On

Ooh, I bet those massive rolls of paper were really exciting! Mr Cheery's dad was a printer too we have a sack full of old type in the loft somewhere waiting  for a project (Mr Cheery rescued that, his dad used to burn it!)

Do you remember the time when I could only post backwards and with every word starting with a capital letter? Now that was certainly a glitch inthetime-space continuum...

They were loving the sound of the old type, wow!  My dad was a lovely man, a real gentleman, but not a creative bone in his body, so he never brought type home.  I wish he had!  Good luck to Mr Cheery, that's going to be fascinating.

Yes it was      

Feeling slightly grumpified today after some bad interactions yesterday (my god!  I had interactions ) but of course nothing whatsoever compared to what's going on out there. 

Just about to get my act together and phone brother, then more work in the garden today: I expected my JL delivery to be near to turning up, but myHermes still say "we're expecting it" (the very first stage), so I'm safe to be in the back for a bit.  Going to take my kneeler though - a lot of problems last night with my feet because I squatted down rather than kneeling - I'll just have to get it muddy.  The pain might be a cause of the slight grumpiness, actually!  Better mud than grumpy

Enjoy playing in the mud...!

Thanks!  It felt like ... an accomplishment a whole stretch between two of the new posts was cleared, I even sawed off one of the remaining branches of the buddleia that was going to make things difficult as it grew, and I manhandled half a coping stone into position under the fence.  Rescued quite a few worms too

Karma, the worm rescuer

Got to give them a chance not to get frozen, or be picked off by the birdies!

I think that was me, beanie my connection's been a bit dodgy this evening, an update has actually failed to install too.  I've deleted the two copies thank you guys  

I lost a couple of posts too!

Very tired from scrabbling about in the mud yesterday, that was a bit much - I had a slow morning, faffing about with offcuts of various thicknesses of cotton to make face masks, but even that was a bit much.  Had a very, very long lunchtime though  and feel much better - might do a little bit outside, managed a chat with bruv and he's off to the beach for a walk now, which just sounds heavenly.  When this phase of the pandemic is over, I'll buy an e-bike that's got a good enough battery to get me to and from the coast (10 miles or so away) that's definitely good times to come.

For now: I've bought another wodge of premium bonds, and I'm off to the garden, even if its just to stare at what I've already done

Good plan KC - I've been trying to do this in the morning when I put the rubbish/recycling out.  Seeing the bulbs popping up reminds me that longer days are just around the corner!
