Catching up jobs

 Doing jobs which have been waiting... ironing and keeping clothes..then potting up all the houseplants



I need to find new homes for some of these once they are settled!!

Doing some housework...now I have to do it all...clean floors today anyway.

Still damp and windy, so going out even for a walk wasn't an attractive idea..I did venture out for a bit..



Possibly the last rose this summer? The Bourbon rose Reine des Violettes I think...

Then carrying on with mending. 

Now the days are drawing in, with it getting dark at 9 and light about 6 I am ready for bed after 9...and doing my best not to lie in in the morning. We need all the daylight we can get!!

  4. It's the "getting home" routine. Always busy -- and tiring, too. Yes, we have to hold onto the daylight!

  5. That is a beautiful rose. The color looks like velvet. You've had a very productive day and that's always good. Susan

  7. I have my regular kitten-o'clock alarm call - 6 a.m. They wake with the light as it's ten minutes later than it was a week or more ago . . .

    We have been having sunshine and showers and so it's difficult to have very long on outside jobs. Lots of roses still blooming here - some go on till Christmas. Enjoy your Reine de Violette - it is so pretty.

    1. The Bourbon roses are...I don't expect a second flush of blooms, but often get one

  9. My list of "put off until convenient jobs" grows ever longer.
