1 Whilst we have not been in rude health it has been truly lovely to spend completely uninterrupted days (well apart from coughing fits) with the Practically Perfect Hubby. We have looked after each other & laughed & talked & just hung out. He really is the best company. He really was worth the wait.
2 The house is looking truly stunning and being sick here has been no trial to be honest. It's a joy to sit in the evening watching the sunset from the new sitting area.
3 My back problem is mechanical & won't kill me. It just annoys me!
4 The garden has delivered a bumper harvest of Desiree spuds, huge courgettes, onions, carrots & French beans - yum!
5 The flowers are also doing their best to put on a show; the ostoespermum, gladioli, jasmine & lavatera and even my roses are all still flowering beautifully!
6 No gardening for 3 weeks = a family of shrews has taken up residence in the long grass! The KC is of course thrilled but (nerd alert) “Mammalian predators rarely take them as shrews have scent glands on their flanks, which mammals find distasteful (most birds have no sense of smell). Domestic cats will kill shrews, but not eat them for this reason” As a result she is chasing & alerting me to their presence so I can grab “The KC victim rescue system™” and hi them off to safety. They are SO cute too!
7 I’ve just had an invoice paid!
More to follow no doubt!
