did you see the thread on the gardening forum about "gravel gardening"? I think that's what it was called. Very interesting ideas on what to plant with very little earth.

ooh, thanks @Brie, I’ll nip over and have a look!

I had lots of smoothies while in Ibiza that I really enjoyed so I thought I would commit to making them at home too. I just had a pineapple and lime smoothie. 😍

I have two lots of holiday laundry to do that I have started and the first load is in the dryer now. I have altered the grocery delivery for tomorrow and added lots of fresh fruit and ginger for smoothies, I have texted a few people and ordered some new pillows, vitamins etc.. from Amazon that is arriving today.

I just cleaned out the fridge too. I need to eat the food in my freezer as I can hardly get the top drawer open as it is so full. I'm going to make a meal plan for next week now.

I've mowed - the bit I did for the first time will need redoing in a couple of days with the blade lowered, I lowered the blade on the bit that was having a second cut, so they'll all be the same height next time hopefully!).

I have also scythed - getting easier as I remember the technique, although the fact that the grass is growing through the previous (fallen over) dead grass and is also flopping over doesn't help. I may need to give it a second cut at some point, but getting the first round done will be an acheivement. Four short rows done, about a billion left to do (but not has much as @Cheery_Daff 🤣

I mowed today too, all three lawns done and looking so tidy. I am exhausted 😂

Washed and dried my ik3a duck feather duvet which had acquired a rather musty smell. One duvet down, three to go. But at 14.50 a pop I think it will be a very OATy oat

had to pay £25 to get ours done - granted it's a superking

Because I fully intended to sort out the attic office, I of course cleaned out my fridge, groomed the dogs, put stuff back in the shed, did the usual weekend chores, got a new balance transfer card, and made some yorkshire puds for the freezer.

I did spend a little time in the attic so I have at least faced it and made a start. I can start working from my desk tomorrow and do a bit more tidying up there in between tasks.

In other news, I discovered I have a whole large drawer full of thick socks. I have no idea why. I don't know the last time I looked in that drawer (its tucked away in the under stairs wardrobe). I don't even wear those sorts of socks, unless I freezing cold and ill. I certainly don't need a whole drawer full. I'll add that to the to-do list.

Ouch. I did just go to the large machine at the petrol station which also has a dryer.

I have bought compost, mulch, farmyard manure and some violas. I didn't do what I actually needed to do, which was to go and look at worktops…
