Alright Friday
Crazy beautiful weather today and tomorrow for a spring bank holiday. We loving it, wishing we had people to love it with us, getting sad dude not wanting to go to beech and coz we got no weed then remembering how it used to feel being us and being so glad those people don't have us anymore like they used to.
Knees and hands sore but been quite active in garden and forced the lad to walk a bit today so no wonder. Yesterday we got lots of the nettles out the garden, some have been there so long the roots like trees. Garden waste bin is full already and wont be picked up for weeks and that's a shame. The monster wild shrub is still there to but think we can probably get most of it out eventually. Wish we had chainsaw to get rid of prickly tree, its all weird looking and causes shade and jaggy mess. Maybe next year.
Someone put loads of stones in for a border edging and we neatened it out a week or so ago. Weeded the border and made the stones make a wavy line. Today we turned it with the big fork and planted some pansies that were delivered. Got lobelia here and on the way for that bit to gona be cool. May e next year will go for blues and whites so it looks like a water line against the stones.. Nicer work than dealing with very established unwanted that have roots that go under an old wall that's kind of falling apart. Stuck a creeping thyme in one of the holes last week. There's a little fern already in it and been watering it to. Don't know what to do about big hole in it.
Gonna have to show how its going some time. Seedlings round the front are doing well, hosta has been getting munched so we put coffee round it like the guy said.
Haven't bought nicotine. Would of if tens were still a thing.. There was one more occasion of "improvising" but feels like we are past that now. Good. Coz that's disgusting.
There is some plug plants on the way. And pots because the flitters left all but one big one.. Been missing the pusscats to, but we know we couldn't take proper care of them, the front line only partly works and the powder brought on migraines but its shit how loss piles on loss. Pusscats, planters, people.
Our old hot water bottle started leaking and skalded us, didn't like not having one but have a new fluffy blue green one now that dude is quite jealous of but not that jealous coz we eventually got the wireless to work on his computer so haven't been seeing much of him.
Theres been moments when it occurs to us how much we were forced to do but no longer are and can't be forced to again and we can almost fathom the difference it makes to our life, almost appreciate ourself for figuring out how then sticking to it. So much can't be replaced or returned but we are here on good Friday, tired from gardening and a quick pint in a beer garden via an icecream shop for dude, knowing that all that normalness is fucking momentous for us.
Hope the seedlings we left outside are okay. Supposed to be 19/20 tomorrow and ten degrees lower over night so they should be. Also hope someone who knows and loves at least some of us a bit talks to us soon.
