    I volunteered Friday and Saturday and took in two big bags of books from my friends flat to Petworth yesterday, I could do with clearing some of mine next time I go!

    I declutterred runner bean, courgette and cucumber plants to my sister this morning, I grew them for her in the green house. I a,so dropped off some jam jars for her. I had planned to come home and plant out mine but was easily bribed to stay with baby cuddles from my great nephew who is 7 months, he entertained us by his crawling attempts, he's not quite there but can move when he wants to usually backwards. His sister wanted a playmate so we built things with her magnetic tiles.

    A little bit of garden was done when I got home as I noticed some brambles taking over in the corner of the front garden.

    Just nipping in, you lot have been so busy, My first car was an old red mini, my last car was a new yellow mini which was lovely. No comparison, not remotely the same car. I used to bomb about in the old minis, loved them.They were rust buckets though. I had one you could see daylight through the floor. Just covered it with a mat!

    I have also been gardening. The green bin is full and there is a builders bag of garden waste for the tip tomorrow. A few more plants dug up from the back garden planted in the front garden and a few brick stepping stones dug in. I have tidied all down the drive. I have so many pots which I brought from my previous house. Some plants I found will go in the front garden. Some I am waiting for which colour flower they will have before I plant them out. Some plants sadly have died in their wait to get in the ground.

    I emptied the rabbit hutch, it was all clean hay thankfully. The making of my idea is not an immediate job. Mr V is fixing some chairs for me atm. They will be for my imaginary shed.

    I am returning some pots back to the lady who gave me plants. I will be giving her 3 plants of mine which she said she would like. My friend has said she would like some ferns. I have a massive one in a pot she is welcome to or several smaller ones to choose from. I have some other plants which I will list on thrift. There are so many pots. I really don't remember buying them all. My name is Vulpix and I have a terracotta pot problem.

    Happy Kitties, lets hope you can start to get properly better now. xx I am knitting an adult scarf . I will do more, trouble is adult size things take me much longer. I don't churn them out at the speed of kids sizes.😂
