Phew! Responding to Kev's challenge

Hi guys :)

Sorry i haven't been around to do updates, my uncle John visited from Thursday to today so we've been out and about.

We went on a lovely walk and to the nearest town to get supplies. I ended up dragging a spade around. I also got lots of potting soil and some peat seed trays.

The carrots have finally decided to sprout! Woohoo!

Hopefully i shall have more things ready to grow next week as i am awaiting a seed delivery, when it decides to show up!

Uncle John being silly

What a view!!!

We have started work on unearthing the path through the middle of the garden. See the fence in the background? It got blown over in the wind! and now it looks like the other half of the fence is trying to do the same :(

I couldn't resist this from Poundland to hang in the pantry

And finally, i am responding to Kev's challenge to post a photo of myself, this one is far away enough to not scare you ;) as you can see i am very short!

And me and The Bearded Wonder

What have you been up to this week? :)

Comments

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration Yup. You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Garden stuff

Hi guys :) Thank your all your lovely comments about the Bearded Wonder, he is doing wonderfully and has even voluntarily made a new appointment at the doctors (will wonders ever cease?) With the lovely weather we have finally made it out into the garden, and got to work. There is still so much to do to get it to where we want it but, progress is progress no matter how small :) The Bearded Wonder has dug out the path, and we are going to border it in an attempt at keeping the weeds and grass at bay, and put either gravel or pebbles in the gaps. I have cobbled together a frame, and am going to put down cardboard, newspaper and mulch to block down the weeds, and with any luck by next year it should be diggable, and shall be used for herbs and above ground growing plants such as salads and brassicas etc We also got a lovely new bed from a friend, so our old Divan bed has had it's fabric sides ripped out and shall be pressed into service as raised bed...

More garden updates

Hi all :) I finally got around to writing a new post :) I know, i know! It's been ages! It's not like i didn't have time, i just kept forgetting haha I found a compost bin on freecycle, thanks to lovely friend who helped with a lift to get it home (i can neither confirm nor deny that we got lost trying to find the house...) and we are working hard on getting it filled. I made myself a wee sewing box from a cardboard box and some fabric samples and an apple pie, which we haven't had in ages! yummy! Little met large when we puppy-sat on Saturday, Angus quickly established who was boss He is quickly growing up We celebrated our 6 year anniversary of being together on sunday :) i got merry on a bottle of rose and poor Bearded Wonder had lemonade as his medication means he can't drink alcohol :( The garden is making progress, we have taken advantage of the hot weather and The Bearded Wonder is digging out my side...

The Good Life...Ish.
