Shopping

Yesterday we went grocery shopping, so the fridge is full again, and a bit added to the freezer. After lunch I had my appointment to get my thumbs xrayed, so a quick visit into Melton to the hospital.

No sewing done yesterday so need to get 'at it' today. I want to finish the bookmarks, just have the red to go. Waiting for fabric for the mats. I am going to give a piece if each of the fabrics to E she can send them off to her friend. No way am I starting the mats if she does not like the fabric.

Now to the garden, the herbaceous border is 50' long and at the widest 4' full of plants and bushes. All the plants etc have to be dug out and those I want to keep potted up, the the whole bed has to be rotavated and compacted. Weed suppresent fabric put down and the slate on top and levelled off. the lawn will also need re-edging The large pots will then have to be put in place and planted up. It will be 2 if not 3 days work. I have set a budget of £1000. I am waiting for a second estimate to come in.

Supper tonight is fish and chips. I have a piece of braising steak to cook for the freezer.
