“That will make a very good pond for my backyard” I mentioned to youngest granddaughter as we had been wanting around the Home and Rural Bygones sale. I’ve had butler sink ponds earlier than they usually all the time do surprisingly effectively for such a small space. ” I might like a pond in your backyard” she mentioned…………
so I left a bid of £6 – the bottom doable bid, absolutely anticipating for somebody to outbid me however they did not so I needed to trek again throughout the week to fetch it. One of many porters put it within the automobile however get it out once more?
Almost doing myself an damage I hauled it out and rolled it down into the wheelbarrow which I might lined with an previous blanket to make a little bit of a cushion and took it around the again. Subsequent I want BiL along with his grinder machine factor to take off the waste becoming beneath and I am going to nip up the street the place they’re constructing the brand new bungalows and ask the bricklayers for a small dollop of cement to dam the plug-hole. Then I am going to must dig a gap so it may be set into the bottom somewhat. Photographs to observe……..ultimately. It is going to want oxygenating weed and water snails after which we will see what occurs.
First tomatoes from the greenhouse this week – deliciously agency. Will there be 5 like this for the present in August? – Hopefully sure.
The greenhouse is filled with green-ness. Peppers, aubergines, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley and one further courgette plant that does not like being there. There’s basil too but it surely missed the photograph.
What else have I completed this week? Ah sure, met up with Rachel-in-Norfolk for a catch up- she’s already written on her weblog about my soggy crumpets in Morrisons café – and no, that is not a euphemism!
I’ve exercised physique with the Hold Transferring Group and swimming and exercised thoughts with the day by day NYT Wordle and Sudoku . Additionally learn “At Mrs Lippincotes” by Elizabeth Taylor which is a Virago Fashionable Basic so ought to have been good for the mind though it wasn’t precisely riveting – not a keeper. (Excellent news for the mind is that Solely Join and College Problem are each again on Monday night.)
Some tennis has been watched after all and some time spent pulling up all of the useless big Papaver poppies out the entrance. There’s extra weeding to be completed within the again flower border however my compost bin is full as is the council backyard waste bin till it’s emptied on Monday.
And I’ve eaten my very own raspberries on a regular basis for the one other week which has been an actual deal with.
Have a very good weekend.
Again Monday
