What another exciting day I’ve had.
David was back at work today and I had my tree warden
training session. I crocheted three rows during it. After the session I did
some gardening.
I;
·
Dug the raspberry suckers out of the raised bed
at the end of the garden, laid down some cardboard, and emptied two bags of
peat free compost into the bed. The level has sunk since last year as it
compacts over time, so now it is topped up and ready for seed sowing in March.
·
Replanted the suckers into their very own pot
·
Potted up the pineapple from the kitchen. The wrong
time of year to do it but it seems to be the source of most of the fungus gnats
and the fly paper around the rim was manky.
·
Found a caterpillar
·
Put up my new hanging basket brackets over the
concrete posts. I need one more though as there is a post without a bracket.
·
Swept the paving slabs
·
Cut back some herbs to encourage fresh new
growth
·
Planted some rogue bulbs what I gone and found. One
was trying to flower
·
Planted the almond stones that I have had sat in
my fridge since October to stratify them
All very exciting, and now the garden is tidy, and I almost
have enough space to start doing some skipping with my rope.
Today I have also done another wool wash because D got his
gloves dirty, so I gave in and washed my jumper for the first time too. I also washed
one of my crochet blankets to soften it up.
I got some fancy coins from a friend in London who’s been having
a sort out. Isle of Man Olympic coins!! Posh.
I have decided to continue with my blanket 2 as it is – it will
still be pretty and functional and keep our toes warm.
Exercise today: lugging compost around, sweeping the slabs,
15min cycling, push ups, plank, and bean weights.
Dinner today: veggie pizza with extra veggies.
David took the larger of the two cakes to work because I forced
him to, and I have eaten the other one. With custard. Very nice.
Thought I’d get ahead of myself today and set my printer to
do a load of stuff I need for work, which was all well and good until I changed
the blue ink and it popped. I have a slight blue tinge to my finger nails now.
D fixed the telly. He turned it off and on again.
