      Just going out into the garden to pick a bunch of flowers to place on my parent's shared grave. Now that the winds have ceased they will be placed on there today which is between both of the dates of their passing.

          Sorry not to be too sad on the anniversary of Monty's dog Nigel's death.
          Today is the first anniversary of my Dad's too.

                  Well my great plan of spending the whole day out in the garden didn't happened ,although I did manage to squeeze an hour in later in the afternoon.

                  Instead ,and not really sure why :noidea:,I ended up spring cleaning the ' snug' lounge. Cleaned the sofa and armchairs , dusted high and low, even the high corner shelves and all the photos and ornaments that live on them. Sorry spiders your cobwebs are now gone!! Cleaned the walls, floor and gave the rug a really good vacuum. Remembered to clean all the shades of the wall and central lights ...... I normally end up forgetting them!! :whistle:

                  Cleaned all the tiles on the fireplace surround and finally have all the furniture a good dusting and polishing.

                  Will wash the curtains another day when no rain is in sight on the forecast.:dbgrtmb:

                  Why...it wasn't that bad in the first place!!

                    Whenever I feel like that; I take a drink and go out to the greenhouse and potter about in there or go and do some weeding until I feel better.

                        I’m working from home and have a bunch of meeting. As they are boring the pants out of me I am taking great pleasure in watching the thrushes in the garden hunt worms and collect material for their nests. I have also noticed 2 wrens keep popping in and out of the bush, so I will investigate from a safe distance to see if they are nesting in there. Oh I am also drinking gallons of tea and eating copious amounts of chocolate Hob Nobs.
