This morning began with a nice walk with Stanley...Percy opted to go and have cuddles instead - there was no way he was going to go out for a walk this morning.
I started on our utility room/conservatory which is the access from the back garden through to the front garden (if you don't count going through the actual house!). We need to clear this ready for the tree trimming which is happening tomorrow, so a good excuse to give it a good going over and sort out.
A nice break to go on our local group walk left me refreshed to tackle the rest of the conservatory/utility room in the afternoon. I managed to sort out about 10 pairs of shoes, some to be thrown and others taken to the charity shop. Plus a full bag of rubbish. How on earth does all this stuff accumulate in this area?! I do have some things that I have just put in boxes to sort through after tomorrow, but as I had been procrastinating with this job, I haven't been able to sort as thoroughly as I would have liked as I go along. Typical really to leave things to the last minute!
The Sailor arrives home on Friday morning, so we his wife will probably come down and stay tomorrow night so she can go to the airport with DH in the morning. She is very excited to see him again as he has been away for four months. Ha ha, he thinks he has come home to rest little does he know we have lots of jobs for him to do both here and at his place while he is at home the next two months. We want to clear all the rubbish from the garden and garages at his place and will need to hire a skip, so it will be a couple of days at least of hard graft. This job should have been done years ago when we inherited the place, but it was one of those jobs that never got done.
At least it has stayed dry today which is nice. Yesterday started off lovely, but soon deteriorated into rain by mid-day. I did pop out briefly yesterday morning and picked up some craft books (oops!) from The Works and a couple of other things, but I haven't photographed them yet so will show them another day. The day seems to be zooming past, probably because I have been busy, which I guess is a good thing. Soon it will be time to start thinking about what to do for dinner! Unfortunately tomorrow's forecast is for rain, so our conservatory will probably get very wet and muddy with the tree surgeons walking through it with branches etc... but can't be helped. I will just have to give it a jolly good mop after they have finished.
Love all the "wubble-yous" (w's) in your title :)
ReplyDeleteStuff seems to accumulate when we are not looking - good that you have been able to clean out a lot of it, and I hope the muddy boots don't make too much of a mess for you to mop up.
It was rather muddy, but it has come up pretty good, so that is the main thing.
DeleteThe tree cutting sounds like it's one of those horrible jobs that you don't look forward to having done but are so glad when it's happened. I'm sure you'll have your conservatory ship shape in no time - maybe the sailor could help lol.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the lake looks really tranquil. Not seen a blue sky here for quite a few days now :( Have a lovely day. xx
Yes it is one of those jobs that you put off...partly because of the lack of side access, but all went well which is good and more importantly it stayed dry.
DeleteHa ha, not I don't think the Sailor will help with this job!
I assume the lake was on the Group Walk. My sort of place to walk, definitely.
ReplyDeleteYes absolutely Graham. We usually see the lake at least once a week, approaching it via differing routes. It is not easy to do different routes all the time within one small town, I think the leaders do pretty well.
