      Well.......... I've laid 12 bags of garden gravel, (there should be a public warning doing it in this heat :SUNsmile:) I needed another 6 bags so took a break and drove to the garden centre and I came home with all this.....

      I should put blinkers on whist I walk through :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                    The problem with doing nothing is that you never know when you're finished!!! :old: :heehee:

                      Spent most of last night sorting out the shed and finishing off my decking lights... tonight is continuing the wiring from the decking to a couple of glass orbs that i've got in one of my borders.

                      That and enjoying a cold beverage on my now fully finished decking :)

                        Well well well, we seem to have a lot of 'car porn' Going on in our house.....knew hubby was up to
                        something! He's looking at 80's cars & as I suspected eBay is involved! He has a short list which I added....buy your wonderful wife a new pair of shoes & handbag :heehee:A woman can never have enough shoes or handbags! :dunno:.
                        I don't know if he will buy one but it's keeping him amused for now! :blue thumb:

                        As for jobs in the garden more watering, it's a bit of a full time job at the moment but well worth it!

                          I have watered the right hand side of the garden, but we have a young bird that has adopted us. It has a game leg and seems to have decided to stay in our garden as we put seed, and meal worms out. It is currently hiding in the Californian poppies on the left hand side (which just germinated when we made the border.) It seems quite vague, but content, and as we had to wait weeks for a single bird to visit us when we moved in, I am more than happy it is here.
                          At the moment, all I am doing is deadheading the pansies, violas, and roses. We moved here in November last year, so everything is new.
                          Tomorrow, I shall tie in, clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, and climbing roses.

                            Well, Sir Sprinkles Abootabit decided to be a proper pain in the rear this evening, so I had to terminate his relationship with Sir Kinksalot, and then introduce him to a new relationship with Sir Leaksalot......
