Its a bright and sunny one here. Yesterday the wind ramped up, trees were going every which way and it looks like most of the leaves are off. It has dropped this morning and it looks like being a reasonable day.
Our usual Sunday breakfast, both of us slept well, unbroken sleep for DB, I was awake for a few minutes around 4.30am.
Lamb prepped for supper, no red wine, so garlic and rosemary today. Veggies also done, have not made my mind up about a dessert, might not bother, although I could do rasps in jelly, we do have some cream.
I sewed out another doily yesterday, took a lot longer than the first one, as I had to slow the machine down, there was a little hiccup when the bottom thread ran out, but soon fixed.
DB continues to sort out the shed in 30 minute bursts. After our neighbour next door died last year, we removed a lot of stuff from her garden at her families request. DB has sorted through it and put quite a a bit to recycle and some on freecycle.
Our plans re the garden have changed, we have bought the heavy top dressing which suppresses weeds, DB was concerned that if all the plants got taken out from the big border it would be a waste, they had been built up over the past 5 1/2 years, so...........some plants will come out and be potted, mainly the hostas, to keep the snails etc off, the pots can then be stood in the beds during the summer. The very tall lily needs to go into a bigger, heavier pot which will be done shortly. they too can be moved into the bed for the summer. The top dressing we have bought is strulch.......we did have some last year and it did work quite well although it was not put on deep enough to really suppress the weed growth. fingers crossed we do not get an early frost. The ground is very wet just now, but I do need to get on it. 30 minutes bursts......with a chair handy to sit on. I will also need to get some more potting compost, we can get that delivered locally.
So supper tonight is roast lamb, roast spuds, carrot, cauli and calabrese. Raspberry jelly for dessert.
AArrggg DB has just come in he has AF again...........what happens when you cannot get a call to a Dr till Monday????
