Moving forward and upwards

Thank you ladies. 

Went to the scrap yard today, someone had already got to the car and took the mirror and loads of other things 😐
Ended up buying one from 3bay for £28, same colour as my car, and it should be here on Monday.
It will take me about 10 minutes to take the old one off and put the replacement one on.

In all the years I've never had a car cost me much to run / maintain, this one is making up for it 😂 hopefully, that's the last of the repairs as there isn't much left to replace!

My friend has posted the masks up to me today, they should be here in a few days. Saw the photos and they look so pretty.

I did the washing up and kitchen after work, saves a job the weekend.

The sun has been out for a few hours and the flat is very warm 🌞🌞 so much nicer having a lounge that does get sun, rather than just daylight.

I'm just about to water the garden, then will find something to watch. OH is at work and he put a load of things on a harddrive for me, cat's happily sleeping away and I feel like joining her!

My face masks arrived today, they are beautiful and should go with any of my outfits.

I ended up doing a bit of gardening last night when I popped out to water the tomatoes, then I did a few hours of photography. 
It was gone midnight before it got properly dark.
I really must get my full set up sorted out and stop being so lazy! I'm missing out on some fantastic opportunities.

You never guess what OH ordered. A cut throat razor 😬 I'm not donating my legs for that!

The charity shop has opened up, so I might take a walk over to it tomorrow, see what they have and if they need anything. 

Going to be doing some weeding the weekend and trim a few more stems off the tomatoes to let light in.

Having kebab tonight and I'm not sure what we are going to watch.

New face masks, gardening, charity shops open, binge-watching, sounds like my idea of a good time (apart from the kebab).... ! Enjoy

Glad that garden is still coming along and the garden is sorted. The masks sound nice.

Thank you IA and SH

Popped to see SIL and mini me earlier. Took some glass beads over as she has an idea for a garden project for them. Was given rhubarb and ginger jam, chilli plants and a mint plant (that's staying in a pot!).

Went to a1d1 and in no rush to return; no social distancing, families blocking isles while debating what to pick up etc. My mask was good though.

Watching another Bond film, full belly as I've had a cheese sandwich followed by yoghurt.

Haven't much planned this weekend aside from gardening and rest. Taking it one day at a time for the next few weeks.

£10 in the bank, 3 day until payday.

Rhubarb & ginger jam sounds nice. £10 left in the bank is good budgeting

With all this rain, your plants will be thriving, and you can sit back and watch them grow....

I thought oat cakes and the jam would make for a very nice snack. Last time SIL gave OH beetroot chutney. 

Sadly I can't sit back and let the plants get on with it as I've a load in the greenhouse and loads in pots / bags which need manually watering. I'm going to see if there's some kind of irrigation system I can set up next year in the greenhouse, even if it means I top up a bucket and it trickles through.

Trimmed the excess stems off the toms, could do with taking more off but will do that next weekend. I can see two toms on the plants.
I did pot up the chilli plants.
Pinched the tops off the runner beans, will need taller canes next year.

I'm really looking forward to doing it all again next year, but on a bigger scale. I don't think I've even used a quarter of the space for this experimental year. I just need to work how how much will need to produce to be a self-sufficient veg grower 🤗

Had roast chicken and veg for tea, unicorn ice cream for pudding 😁

Unicorn ice cream sounds fun. Glad your veg is coming along.

Unicorn ice cream 🦄 I want some! I have seen mermaid ice cream and love these rose cones 😊
