Aw glad it turned out to be a good time with your friend (and doggo!) and that you were appreciated by garden centre guy and Mr KK, and I hope yourself, in your new dress 😊

It’s been so hot here today … I have struggled. 

Managed to clear enough space to get the Yacon plants in. So much bramble and ivy in that space! 

Tried to do more on the sit spot bed but it’s drying out and going rock hard again … Finally, in something of a rage, I have just mulched one small patch, thrown in a few plants, watered, bark mulched and watered again … 🤷‍♀️ Sigh ….
I will be gardening right through next winter, as much as I possibly can, and winkling out every baby or not so baby buttercup, sticky weed, campion or anything else that I don’t want, EVERYWHERE! 

Anyway, onto more positive things … 😉
- finished a novel today 😊
- actually did a few surveys! 
- did four rows of knitting so caught up on yesterday’s rows as well. Hoping to do some more later. 

- Completely dried Mr KK’s washing outside, all folded and away. Got all my washing from yesterday put away too, including finding four spare hangers to hang up my new work tops. 

- It’s been a truly beautiful day here, in spite of my grumping 😉
- My cheese plant, which had six leaves before the arrival of kittens and went down to none, once again, has a single, beautiful, elegant leaf …. 😉😊

Good news about your cheese plant! Is this because the kittens have other interests now?

Started off with cheese, man,  then moved on to the catmint.  Groovy!

We have noticed a massive drop in general vandalism levels now that they are allowed out during the day! 😉😂

I have a fairly flat bowl of catmint on the patio, covered with an upside down hanging basket wire cage. Very popular with my lot.  There's generally a chilled cat somewhere close by it. 

Seems to self seed fairly easily and the cuttings I took look promising - although every so often a fat furry bottom squashes one.

Your new dress sounds fabulous! Love how one can be perked up by a compliment and a new gown

I have two big clumps in my garden, one of which recovered from being chewed to a stump by next door’s cats, whilst the one next door was ignored 🤷‍♀️ 😊

18th wedding anniversary today 😊 Mr KK texted me at work to wish me happy anniversary - don’t know that he’s ever done that before! 😊😉 He also cooked this evening so I got chance to get out in the garden and weed the cut flower bed, water it and mulch it well 😊

Chased up the bathroom - should be deliverable back end of this week - finally! 👏

Done one row of knitting but have ducked the second one of the two I aim to do per day for tonight, as it’s a complicated one that needs more concentration than I have at this time of night. Tomorrow 😊

Baby cats sulked about being called in from the garden tonight (real stroppy teenager vibe) but were crashed out, fast asleep, within 20 minutes! 😂

Mr KK is trying to contact his new accountant about his tax paperwork but the chap is not answer his phone … at least he’s trying …. 🤷‍♀️

Life is busy but good here today 😊

Happiest of anniversaries to you both 💜💙
