What did you do today ?

:D how true Ivory, well put! :D

Beki x

 

My son has just passed his driving test and so I am now redundant and can say goodbye to the school run! Mind you I have been getting him to ring me when he gets to school safely everyday, as I did when his brothers drove themselves to school!!

I then visited my parents who are off to the environs of Dartmouth for their hols tomorrow (very early!) to drop off a father's day pressie (one of those plastic containers that hold a grow bag and a large trug - v.useful) and mainly to be given strict instructions on what to do and what not to do with the greenhouse and watering their numerous pots and hanging baskets, which watering can to use etc......... came home with a large tray of cosmos which will look super when planted in my borders.

Wish my sons has thought to treat my plants to a little water whilst we were away for a long weekend last week! (My precious plants in the conservatory were well and truly frazzled, and it was 'my fault because I didn't put watering plants on their list of do's and don'ts'. (How silly of me!!)

What an uneventful day - but hopefully I will get some gardening done this weekend weather permitting!

 

Well I've been crock today, so did nowt....thought I would share that with you.

Big front drive clean-up over the weekend after the planting during the week...loads of soil debries and plants pots to shift..was hoping for rain to clear up the spilt soil on the drive...but no....never when you want it eh.:rolleyes:

 

Well been an ok day here got alot done so i should be able to finish by 6 tomorrow :D had a chat with one customer an shes lived in her house for 58 years but hates the area :rolleyes: makes you wounder why she didnt try to move dont it lol

 

Doing a fencing job, Dodgy ground and tumble down retaining wall making things awkward. Finishing it tommorow.

 

Finishing off the fence I was doing yesterday, A right pain as the fence borders a comunal alley and the gas and sweradge run along Had to turn the breaker power right down, . Ground full of stone and concrete.

 

Looks tricky that:confused: had an ok day here mostly mowing then at lunch time had a call from a bloke wanting his hedge cut this afternoon :rolleyes: wanted to say sure mate ill be right round afterall ive been sitting here all day just waiting for your call lol:D
then i went to see the neighbour whos moveing an shes lost her front door keys so i said id put a new lock in for her then off to volvo then went to see my nan and do some of her garden

 

Bet you're glad that job's done Pro! Sounds like a busy day spud! (did you do that bloke's hedge?!?)

I went round to water a friend's garden (she is on holiday). Had watered it yesterday, and thought to myself 'blimey, I watered it well', because the posts were still moist around the bottom. Then I noticed the hose coiled around the garden (I had put it away)! Looks like someone else has been watering too! :D

 

nope i didnt i said well i can do it not this friday comeing the one after he wasnt happy with that so i gave him someone elses number :thumb:

 

Certainly was tricky !! a right nasty job oh and the day got off to a bad precedent when a seagull crapped into my open flask just as i was about to have my first cup off coffe before starting.

Spud, that bit about wanting it done the same day cracked me up, had a few like this before when i used to advertise, The best was a guy who phoned and left a messadge at 10pm friday night on my mobile then left a messadge monday morning at 6am saying that if he didnt hear from me soon hed have to get someone else...... He had too!!!!!!!!!!

 

Long walk to ruins of old castle. Got fallen trees over the path, sliding stones tried to kill me, went off the path to take a picture of a colony of foxgloves and ended up hanging from a beech branch with nothing but air under my feet (not kidding) ,lost our way twice, ended in a private garden that looked like just a part of the woods, ate strawberries, were chased by a big dog, then it rained on us all the way home.

Ready for bed now. Definitely.

 

I've been working, weekend on (groan) i wasn't that bothered, weather wasn't great, i'm hoping to get caught up with a few jobs in the garden tomorrow, go for a walk to the local nature reserve and just chill out on my day off yippeeee! :thumb:

 

Had a great weekend. Attacked the wilderness at the bottom of the garden. Didn't find any fairys though.

 

Thought I would have a day off, but her indoors has some DIY job's lined up for me...no rest for the wicked eh.

 

Long old day, Trying to do 2 days work in one:

amongst many jobs today, scarifiying:



Not all bad though, just about to stop off at the pub for a nice lunchtime drink and some food by the river lol !!!!
