Good morning all , weather looks set fine for a while , think I will be cleaning windows today . Either that or painting the rear fence and repairing the gate , which needs adjusting and strengthening . It’s a bit like the bloke who fitted it , old and decrepit... In need of a bit of love and attention , the gate ....... not me . I get plenty of that .
The wooden greenhouse needs rubbing down and repainting , all “this time of year“ jobs.
Harry , it’s nearly time to cut your lavender plants down , when the flower heads start dying off , losing their bright colour , cut the stems down to the main bunch of leaves . They will grow back stronger and you wont get a tal “ leggy “ plant . Next year you can leave them a bit longer above the leaves , and the same the following year . They will grow into a thick bushy plant that way .
Weird situations going on with this local lockdown , families in Manchester areas , is that you H ? , can meet in McDonald's for lunch but not in each other’s houses .
Big push on reducing obesity, then they cut the price of fast foods in half . Creating more queues . ..... I haven’t been involved in a queue for ages . They have all moved up north now . No queues to be seen anywhere down here ,
Don’t get involved in this complacency malarkey . It’s dangerous . Keep alert , don’t let your guard down . It’s lurking around every corner . Waiting to pounce .
I went to our local shop yesterday for a pint of milk , they have a sanitising station just as you walk in , normally it’s empty in there , it was yesterday but I had to wait to get in because an elderly lady , ie , someone older than me , was almost having a bath in the stuff . She wasn’t taking any chances , that’s for sure .,Problem was , that because the sanitation station was at the entrance of the store , nobody could get passed her , either to get in or out . I thought at one time she was going to wash her feet in it as well . She was as clean as a squid , at the end , would have passed muster at any police forensic site . Bless her .
Hope you are all well , hope your wife is better Pompey , hope your loft is good Harry , hope your pond life is thriving , Nick , and every thing is good for you all , 80 busy at work , Ex with his building work , etc , and hope Greavsie has got over the blues . Stay safe
