May. 26th, 2020 12:03 pmHad a bit of a hiccup to the start of today.
I'm an early riser, especially on light mornings so was up at 6. Though I'd get a start on everything so had a whitewash on soon after waking, made James' packed lunch, had coffee etc, went up to wake him at 7 and to get his shirt from the wardrobe, a shirt I'd ironed and put away last week only to find it was an old uniform shirt. This was an issue as the old ones are just that too small to wear and all the new ones were in the process of being washed. So, I had to stop the washer, drain it, pull out a soaking shirt and tumble it. It was dry when James set out to work, but yeah, they really do need ironing, body heat really doesn't cut it.
What's worse is, I ironed a shirt when I didn't have to. Stupid old style shirts, I've no idea how it got mixed up in the to-iron pile. Because the shirts are NHS/ambulance service branded you're not supposed to give them to charity shops or recycle, so I guess I'll have to shove it in the back of the wardrobe with the others.
But, apart from that, it's been a good morning. I had an early morning walk to the doctors to pick up a prescription and called into Lidl on the way home, where there was no queue and everything was in stock, so that was good. This afternoon I'm going to plant out more tomatoes and no doubt read my book in the sunshine.
I finished the fence yesterday, at least, mostly finished as the paint ran out. I knew it was going to and had to make the decision to either paint the last section on the outside or the inside. In the end, I went for the outside as I figured the plants would help disguise the inside for now. The plan is to get more paint when it's available, even if it does come in a big tub and I only have one small section to finish. James suggested we use the remainder to paint the wooden raised bed and also made noises about the decking, but I'm not sure about that.
Which reminds me, we have a bee nest under the raised bed. They're not bothering me and it's cool to watch them go through a gap on the corner of the bed, their legs heavy with pollen, but of all the places they could pick it had to be the courgette bed.
I think Murphy and Milo have a cunning plan going as I came across Murphy playing with the syringe I use to give Milo his crushed tablets, and watched as he pushed it under the TV unit. No way would I have found it if I hadn't caught him in the act.
To end, some photos of Milo, Murphy and the fence, ( Behind here )
