This picture sums up how i spent my day off. Sitting around drinking, eating. walking around in a bit of a daze. Jammies until 11. I saw my sister in law, she said 'wow, your hair looks great' - i was like 'Yeah, i had time to brush it today'. I put on a cute dress. I cooked a nice dinner. It was pretty legit.
After a day off i felt like it had been forever since i had been at the house.
Ive had a wee swap around of jobs, I'm keeping on keeping on with the gardening.
I didn't always love gardening, when i was younger my father made us dig in a communal garden, it was huge, not kid huge (where everything seems big), just HUGE. 100m x 100m with multiple garden beds. Anyway, at the time i swore i would NEVER garden ever again, que dramatic gone with the wind music.
But over the last few years, I've come to really love planting. Now, I'm not that good at it really, a lot of stuff dies, i don't know what anything is called - green flaxey thing - or green grassy thing - is about as technical as i get. But theres something about digging in the dirt, it just feels good. I would rather buy plants and trees than shoes - no kidding. So more grasses along the front of the deck (Reilly doesn't know about those grasses - guess he's finding out now) - olive trees along our side of the front fence. A lawn mow today and I've started to take down our base camp out the back. Summer is at an end and down comes the pool. Sad!
