gardener day, so have a list of things I want him to do. The clematis on the front fence needs a haircut, its putting out long runners, they need cutting off. The new dawn rose needs dead heading it is absolutely glorious. The honeysuckle which is also planted on the obelisk is just starting to flower, that bit of the garden smells lovely. There is plenty more for T to do, I need the pots the tulips were in to be moved against the fence so the patios are clearer. I have some plug plants cannot make my mind up whether to put them in the ground or grow them on in pots and plant them out next spring.
Its 22c here but we have a breeze, so not too hot I hope today, keeping DB out of the sun is a major concern.
I am practicing sewing the binding both front and back on quits another set of table mats completed yesterday. I am slowly getting better at it. I must admit the new dual feed and stitch in the ditch foot is very good. I discovered yesterday that the piecing setting for stitching on the machine puts the needle right in behind the arm on the foot, so no fiddling moving the needle. I discover something new about the machine every time I use it.
Yesterday I used the new ninja to bake a frozen quiche, it turned out perfect after just 15 minutes, it would have taken 35 minutes in the combi micro wave. Next thing I want to try is frittata, see how that turns out. I usually make it in an omelette pan and finish it in the combi.
Usual fish and chips tonight, and of course strawberries for dessert.
