Japanese anemone

As Liz drove me home on Friday evening, I noticed that the Japanese anemones were coming into flower. I am glad that I remembered and was able to use one for tonight's blip.

Today was my first day of real rest after coming home. I know that I need it.

The start was not brilliant. I woke, misread the clock and went to make myself a cuppa. It was only 0630!

Never mind, I lay in bed and then needed to be up so that my car was ready to go for its MOT and I was ready for Matty, who is coming to help out in the garden. He will do general tidying up and heavy jobs.

I have basically done very little. I put another 2 loads of washing on and chilled.

I tried to sleep this afternoon, with no success, but Daisy enjoyed sleeping on my lap.

It's going to take a few days to recover my energy levels and for my knees to settle.

As Matty said "You should have gone on short training walks with the heavy backpack, so that you could do the walks on holiday". How very true!
