Since we've been together

Quite a perfect day to be honest, apart from the sheer exhaustion. 

We got up and headed to the allotment.  I planted carrots, Si replanted the Parsnips. I got sad about my Leeks. The best of which also died today. 

I watered everything, again.   We put a netting over the frame Si erected to stop the squirrels eating the sweet corn when it grows. 

I was exhausted. I said "I have to sit down, I'm going to fall down".    Friday night has done me in. 

We came home.  I repotted a whole raft of Cosmos. I think I have 50 plants.  I also have about 50 Sweet pea too. As usual the more unusual ones I have planted have come to zilch.  Good job i love cosmo and sweet peas. 

Then we showered and went and got some shopping. I saw folk today, in the supermarket, who I was friendly with in my youth.  In fact I used to play pool with the guy on the checkout.   I want to believe that it is my girlish youthful looks that is rendering  me unfamiliar to them.  It has to be that. Because they all look so horrifically OLD, I can't possibly be of an age with them. 

We came home, and I painted (see extra) I dont go way out there, I'm just playing, but I do find it incredibly relaxing. 

Whilst I painted, Si did indeedy make me my flower drying out frame, it's exactly like the one we spotted in Calton last Saturday, except mine didn't cost anything,and was fashioned with love.   I adore it.  I hope my lovely Alium and Cosmo dry out beautifully.  It almost killed me to cut the Alium.  

And now, I'm going to sit down and have a cuppa tea, and prepare for bed.  Cause I need to get back to work to behave myself.
