A night off sounds nice. I have had a similar day on account of needing some R&R although did get some stuff done in the garden! 

Oh well done 😊👏
Tomorrow should be slightly less intense so hopefully I should have the bandwidth to do a bit after work ….
Very grateful for a quiet evening tonight though 😊

Bit tired - work is crazy hectic still, but I seem to be largely surfing over the top of it all and just about keeping everything spinning. There are lots of fortuitous and linking synergies starting to happen and I *think* I can *finally* see my new team creating its own momentum …..

Had a very in-depth conversation with the FC about how to quantify/justify the savings expected from the project I am working on (there was an ambitious guess made at start of project that I wasn’t party to!). I think she enjoyed it as much as I did and I learned a lot. Now I have much delving and digging to do ….

Mr KK has worked on my craft cupboard this evening - he’s got the shelves done and hopefully the dividing supports and doors will happen tomorrow! I have been working on book categorisation - all on the ground floor though, thankfully 😊 I think most of the book shuffling is done now.

The sit spot border is filling out a little. I walk past it very morning from the tap to the greenhouse so thought I would share a picture with you 😊



Very pleased with it. Even the poor starve and battered Hibiscus is recovering a bit and put on a fresh leaf and Mr KK is far happier with it. It’s not the riot of colour I would like it to be, but that comes next year! 😉 Just so pleased it is not the monotone, monochrome weedy muddle that it was last year. ❤️

And yes, the grass needs cutting!! It keeps raining ….!! 😂

I will recut the edge this winter to be a smoother curve. That one you see was cutting around things I was trying to keep …. Ahem! Now the grass is filling in the gaps a bit, I should be able to smooth it off.

The magic trifecta of free time, daylight, and dry weather has not appeared here either..! That border is looking amazing.

Looks great, you have a lot of garden to manage.

Yes to nice borders, down with plastic lawns. We have to do our bit for the invertebrates and pollinators so I'm loving your flowers!

Awwww …. Thank you everyone 😊❤️

It’s being a tough week and then last night kind of added to it. 

Went to the dentist after work to get a crown fitted. It was rougher, harsher experience than I expected. He was in a foul mood - IT and staffing issues and I think he dropped some etching liquid on my lip - I seem to have a burn! Glad that’s done for a bit … yet another further £300 lighter as well (£700 in total!). 🙄

In other, more cheerful news, the e-req for my new inspector has been approved! I thought it would take weeks as all senior people seem to be on leave atm, but I got the email! 😊

Mr KK has cut all the grass last night including the meadow sections - the garden looks 10x bigger and loads better for it, calmer somehow. 😊 I still have the edges to do but I hope I can get those done this evening. 

I was so late back and jangly after the dentist and with strict instructions not to eat on that side of my mouth, so I thought a chippy run would be the easy option. I was waiting for 30 minutes which meant I was quite late eating. We then discovered the boiler isn’t producing hot water any more (Mr KK managed a hot shower, I had a cold strip wash! 🥶) and it was so hot last night I barely slept. 

Ugh …. Can’t wait for today to end, but I have a LOT of meetings …. Sigh ….
