Harry & I have had a busy day.
Changed the bed & a big load of washing.
Cleaned out both shower drains.
I washed the wall where the road men had splashed it all. Still more to do yet.
After that we tackled the garden. Cheating a bit as we resorted to the strimmer.
It does look much better though….not as overgrown. I had to watch where Harry was doing it as he has no clue what’s a weed or a plant but we managed.
This afternoon I rested & read my book.
The Man from St. Petersburg by Ken Follett.
Sounds like a very busy day, Pat! Love this photo of Harry at Work. For some reason when I read your road men comment, I was still in a bathroom frame of mind, and thought the road men had been using your toilet a bit over-zealously! ;-) How's the book? I generally have enjoyed anything by Ken Follett. Especially Pillars of the Earth.
@jamibann My favourite book of all time I think. I’m really enjoying this one too. How funny…I can understand how you came to that conclusion….I do ramble on a bit! The men just seemed to roll out the tarmac & splashed it with water which went all over our cream wall. The boss said himself it was a botched job!!
Looks very colourful and you will be feeling chuffed with yourselves that you are getting the job done.
Yes you do have to watch those blokes the get a bit over zealous with their tools.
Well done you two! Your garden looks very lush, must be all that rain! Oh I've heard of that book. Is it good? I'm busy reading the Prisoner of Heaven, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of Shadow of the wind.
@julzmaioro@busylady That strimmer is lethal but did a great job. It’s better than it was! The book is good, I like Ken Follett books & this does not disappoint. It’s a book I borrowed off the library van. I will check yours out Judith.
A lovely garden Pat , - I could do with a Harry and a strimmer ! every grass and weed possible seems to be in my borders this year - Gary is OK with the lawns , but he's not good at differentiating between weeds and plants !!!!!!!!!
A big day, but so satisfying to think how much you’ve achieved. We spent all afternoon picking up tree branches and four trees that had blown down in the storm - then I was able to mow the lawns (on the ride on…) Your garden looks lovely.
@happypat luckily the trees that blew down were only about 3 metres tall. Annoying though, as our shelter row from the predominant wind looks like a gap toothed six year old.
That's a heap of work - changing beds etc and washing down bathrooms let alone outside walls. Harry must be strong to be able to use a strimmer! Lovely rhododendron there!
Very satisfying getting so much done. Always nice to have fresh bedding and lovely to look at the garden when it's been done.
I've just told Allan that Harry had the strimmer out and he agrees it would be a good idea in places here. 😂
