A day of bits

 A day of jobs going one step and others being finished...washing dried, ironing still waiting.

Kitchen mixer taken over to a retired electrician friend of ours to see if it can be fettled...the motor might need new brushes..

Shopping done..in two places, mostly reduced items...

It turned warm today...so was quite hot in the car for a change.

Received a phone call...well a verbal message...how do they manage to just leave an answer phone message instead of speaking ?! At least I know that pension calculation is ongoing....

Picked kale, young beetroot leaves, tomatoes and peas!!

The peas and leeks are looking good.. if windswept!! And the green manure has germinated.





And to finish the day a little mending whilst watching "Time Team" on U tube....they are fascinating!!

And finding some older photos of myself, after someone commented on one that I hadn't changed...

1976..Cardiff College of Art, mature student (23)


2011, the year that Mountain Man died, and I was part of the Black Mountain Circle and the cooperative gallery near Abergavenny..it has now moved into the town.


And 2024....sporting a new fleece gilet, £4 in an op shop today!!

I'm admiring your dragons first! And you sure do know how to carry your years without much change!

You're only a couple years younger than my youngest sister. Lovely garden yet.

You've had a busy day. The garden is producing well. Finding a good purchase and buy is always great. Nice red color in your new purchase.

Susan said...

You've had a very productive day. A good buy is also always enjoyed. Love the red.

You have always been a very good looking woman it seems. Perfect bone structure and good skin.

They're right. You haven't changed. There's always so much to do when you get home from a trip. Especially if you have a garden!
