Holey Mr Kk ! Hope he is not too sore, poor thing. Gentle pottering for him methinks.

Put Nurse Chloe on the case. He can't get into trouble with the cat on his lap.

Sending healing thoughts to Mr KK. Hope he's OK once the local wears off.

Just catching up, blimey, you both need a day of only restful loveliness tomorrow (you know my rule, no bad vibes on a Sunday, and that applies severally after hospital visits and stressy things!)

Plus one here with huge well done on having the defibrillator installed, that person has much better outcome and the people attending have much better mental health because of what you put in place. Be very proud

Poor Mr KK with a 2cm hole 😬 Eek to the feathery body clean up.

Just catching up, I hope the person who needed the defib is okay ❤️‍🩹 also hope Mr KK recovers quickly, that sounds like it might be painful to sleep on tonight.

And I hope tomorrow is restful for you, I totally understand the bone tiredness you just can't shake. It's not nice. X

Thanks @f0xh0les, @Brewerspride, @PennysIntoPounds, @Sun_Addict, @debtfreewannabe321 😊

Mr KK is okayish. He had quiet a disturbed night as he kept rolling onto that shoulder which inevitably woke him up. He’s been pottering about in the garage today, tidying up and pitching about at various things - I saw a blow lamp in use at one point and the welding mask at another. He also sharpened an awesome new hand hoe for me - more below 😊
He will be back at the GP surgery tomorrow and I hope they will be able to remove all the packing as I think that is the primary reason for the pain he is in. He is talking about going back to work tomorrow on ‘light duties’ but I am not wholly convinced …

I’ve been a bit more on it today.
- Washing done, dried outside and put away

- All financial updates done. Easily and quickly as I have finally stopped spending (I had a week or so where small things all around the house kept failing and my supplements ran out one after the other!).
Also totted up all OPs in January (I had forgotten to do this) and was reminded again that we have already hit our £4K target this year thanks to Mr KK ❤️

- Gardening done in a t-shirt - first time this year 😊🌞
I planted out my sprouted shallots. The veggie patch is slowly looking more convincing 😊 Wielded my new hand hoe to riffle the surface of the garlic bed as I could see lots of weed seedlings appearing. The hand hoe I used for this was brilliant, but it acquired a few dinks on the blade, so Mr KK kindly ground them out and re sharpened it for me 😊 (I did ask him to train me to do it but he wouldn’t … 🤷‍♀️)
Watered the greenhouse.
Dug out some goats tree saplings from by the big pond and then used those holes to transplant some unwanted Aster (it’s very pretty but huge and running everywhere!) from the sit spot border and foxgloves from one of the veggie beds. Gave them all a drink to help them settle in. Potted up another chunk of aster for my friend. Repotted the latest houseplant for me to take into work 😊 Sowed my sweet peas (at last! 🤩)
Emptied the wood ash bucket around the base of one of the apple trees so the bucket is clean to empty the grate this evening.

- Cleaned bathroom and loo - always good to knock those off the list!

- Submitted gas and electric readings.

- Done a steps work out. Need to do the rest of the work out but it had disappeared from the app when I looked for it just now. I will try again in a bit or try and remember what it consists of … 🤔

Done my workout - he’s upped the ante again, little toad! 😂😂 He’s Irish I’ll forgive him … 😉

Forgot to mention - I have 3 loose laid slabs in front of the greenhouse door as a hard standing before you step into it. Just for fun I have two wider gaps filled with pea gravel that I had planted up with toadflax and a small flowered hardy geranium. Everything was getting over run with weeds and grass, so I bought two new rockery plants as an incentive and completely cleared that area this morning. Cut the grass back to the front edge of the slabs, lifted one of the slabs completely to be able to hoick out all the buttercup that had run along the back of it, lifted everything in the gravel and binned it. Replanted the gravel sections with the new plants and then watered all of it to wash away the mess. Even Mr KK noticed the change, without being prompted to! 😉

Ooh, you have been busy! Well done!

I've been out in the garden today too, very much NOT just in a t shirt 😂 vest, top, fleecy jumper, and ridiculous sleeveless bodywarmer/gilet thing that is utterly ludicrous but extremely warm - and I still had to go into the greenhouse to warm up 🥶😂
