Took Bella for along walk over the fields at the bottom and around the nature reserve. It's the first time it's been dry enough to go on the field and also the first time we've been in since it was Bella and Bonnie that used to go. It felt a bit weird there being no Bonnie running off ahead for Bella to chase after :-(
After Bella had been fed and walked I got myself off to B&Q early to beat the bank holiday madness as the world and his wife will probably be doing something in the garden with there being a bit of sun and a long weekend. I bought some new fiber liners for the two troughs at the front of the house under the windows as the others have rotted and the soil is falling through now. I am focusing on the front garden at the mo so I don't get distracted and end up doing 6 jobs at once and finishing none of them. I got them filled with new soil and tried to salvage a couple of the spring bulbs I had planted a few weeks ago, but I focused on getting summer bulbs in them so I would have some colour coming up from May onwards. It's still a bit chilly so don't want to even chance any bedding plants, so they will just have to remain empty looking unless I see some spring bulbs on offer, that are already bloomed that I can throw in for now. I cleared some weeds and old plans out and put summer bulbs in one of my blue pots ss I am going. to just have pots in the front once I chop down those massive plants that are taking over the front garden :-/ I want tit to go back to a minimal and Mediterranean look again. I'm sick of buying plants that take over the garden so if I keep them all contained in pots it's easy to swap them out and also keep their growth smaller.
I've ordered some more iphone wires for the house as I had everything organised with one plug and wire for each room, labelled (obvs), but some of the wires have broken or gone missing when I've taken out the house etc. So I want them back to how they were. OCD much? Me No lol. It';s just one less thing to stress about when I can't find a lead to charge my phone.
Even though it was lovely and sunny all day I couldn't stay out in it all day as my face felt red and tight from yesterday and if I do too much bending over my back starts to crease e. So I am going to focus on painting the planters at the front tomorrow. I bought s new spray head for the housepipe only to find I had two new ones in the storage bench in the back garden hidden under other stuff. This is why I have o have everything tidy or I end up not knowing what stuff I own. so after the planters were done I just chilled indoors and had some game if COD with Fi on the PS4 as she needed a break too from studying.
For dinner I just fancied Fish & Chips so drove up to our local chippy. They always give you FAR too much portion wise and I try asking for small portions but I'm convinced the think I am going to want it cheaper. I always say I will pay the same price but it's too much. Look at how many chips there are for one person...
I started typing up my thoughts on this but it went on far too long so I have given it, it's own blog. so check out my Random Rant HERE
As it is Easter weekend I thought I would treat myself to an Easter Cream Coffee with all the trimmings. It's probably meant to taste like a Cadburys cream egg but they couldn't get the license ;-)
Spent my Saturday night on the PS4 with Fi. I'm so Rock n Roll these days lol. I was off. upto bed by 11pm.
