How cute is this?
My friend made it.

I wish I were talented like that. There's a wall hanging I'd like to make. It's made out of old, shallow wooden crates, put together maybe three or four in random shapes, then you use the resultant shelves to put small pots of succulents on. I've seen something like it on the 'net.

Not quite this, but similar:

I like this too, but I'd want the box bottoms on the wall:

Maybe some day when I get some ambition and all my work is done, I may try my hand at it.

You should do it the other way round. That way your hands get all nice and clean after getting dirty from the garden work.
I'm lazy in the afternoon, and don't do my dishes until the next day. I have to do them first thing so I have room in the kitchen to prepare tortoise food. Now that it's getting to be ant season, I really should get in the habit of washing dishes right after the mess is made (lunch).

Good Afterevening all.
Finally sat down. Winter is definitly here exceot for our rain (of course [emoji20]) work has been superbusy. And yes I know that in winter your days are actually shorter. But I still go to bed at the same time as in summer - yet those number of hours just seem to have decreased somehow. Anywayyyyy I hope all are having a good afternoon or evening whichever one it might be.
It seems like only last week you were saying it seemed to be getting colder and winter must be coming.

I used the weed trimmer for the first time this season trimmed the pepper tree over the enclosures and trimmed up my grape vines a bit.
It is so weird without my grandson since he started preschool. I’m getting more done!
My brother-in-law lost a bet with my sister, and as a result had to help work in our mother's garden one weekend. He did not know what asparagus plants looked like and weed-eated her asparagus to the ground, thinking he was cutting weeds.
He got corrected. :p

Just having an idea like that is already creative by my standards! :D
But work is never done :( :( :(

Hello, freedom! :D How is he settling in the preschool environment?

Morning all, hope everyone is doing ok... I’ve tried to catch up on 5 days worth of posts.
As Joesmum said our weather in the UK is improving yippeeeee! It’s a lovely sunny morning in London, warm enough to walk without a coat.
Unfortunately I’m stuck in the office all day, and where I sit in a big open plan office is right in the middle so I don’t have any windows near me at all. Those that do sit next to the window tend to pull down the blinds because the glare of the sun affects their view of their computer screen. [emoji22]

I’m not sure if it’s just me but the sun can totally affect my mood, I find dark, dull days I actually have no motivation to do anything, as soon as the sun pops it head out, I’m up, out, mowing grass, planting flowers. I’m looking forward to getting home at about 6pm tonight and getting out into the garden.

Have a great day!

Good morning all. The sun is out and things are getting warm here. Expected high of 22C/72F today... and 26C/79F tomorrow!

I’m just off to see my physio/osteo. Not see you all later :)

Hello, UK roommates!
Sounds like summer has wandered onto your side of the Channel. o_O
19C in Denmark, which is almost summer! My windows are open; a street musician is playing the melody we danced to as our wedding dance.
The sun — D3 specifically? — certainly improves my spirits too. :)

If you wait for your work to be done, I don't think you will ever do it.

Ha Ha Ha. You sound like me. I also tend to leave my dishes until the next day.
