Hope the sunshine reached your way too.

... there aint a cloud in sight.
What a beautiful day. As predicted, washing was hung out and weeds were pulled out.
I think I've weeded about half of the big bed now :T There are lots of shrubs and perennial plants coming up so we should have lots of colour by Summer. There isn't much colour at the moment though so I shall have to have a think about how to remedy that. A highlight today was finding a hen blackbird nesting in the climbing hydrangea by the kitchen door. I could see her peeking at me through the leaves
FDawg has been running about the fields all day - he just doesn't stop. I hope that means he'll sleep through the night but I worry about his weight. He's a skinny thing even though we're feeding him loads. He can't afford to burn up too many calories.
I'm hoping that all this dog walking and gardening will make me a skinny thing too :rotfl: My weeding stamina is definitely improving. And all the time I'm weeding, I'm not spending so I suppose it counts as money saving :rotfl:
Tonight's supper was Jamie's Courgette Carbonara Quick and easy after a day's hard graft.
Happy Sunday all

It's a favourite recipe Beanie and I think it tasted better because we ate outside this evening.

A productive weekend Brizzle but it's getting a bit repetitive now. Oh for an ice cold G&T relaxing in a beer garden somewhere

Your gardening sounds like its going really well, Fortune. And I'm sure you don't need to worry about FDawg running himself skinny - he's not going to self harm in that way, he'll just be skinny for a while. He's got you to look after him now

Like you I've been weeding but I am useless with sunshine so I will do my next batch when the sun wanes. Happy gardeningIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

We're getting there with the garden Karma. FDawg finally gave in today and lay in the shade from time to time.doingitanyway wrote: »Like you I've been weeding but I am useless with sunshine so I will do my next batch when the sun wanes. Happy gardening
The back of my neck is a bit pink today DIA but I think I've escaped any serious damage. Weeding continues although I've delayed pulling up some things just in case they are actually flowers :rotfl: I don't know the difference yet.
