She has an immaculate garden and is thinking of entering the local Gardens in Bloom, she did win 3 years on the trot where she lived in a very pretty village, digressing again. So looking out the French door's I did have to agree it was looking like Tin Pan Alley, the garden hose was snaked all over the lawn, paint pots left out, cans of lager stacked near the wall ( You all getting the picture) moss and weeds growing between the slabs.......
So I said to myself roll the sleeves up and crack on with this task.
Crouching on all floors, that was not dignified look, ass in the air, not a bad arse, I do like my arse it hasn't sagged so (tick) but on all floors really, I began scraping gouging and removing the moss and weeds with vigor, so much that I actually enjoyed it so much nearly forgot to go and wish Viv a happy Bfday. It was nice to sit with my dear friend but not to be able to hug or give a big kiss was so hard for me.
We made good of the time together as we always do, luckily I buy all my birthday pressies for friends after Christmas, so spend half as much but get some lovely gifts for all, so in the present climate was a good job because wouldn't have managed to get her something nice.
After leaving Vivs I carried on with the all four position on the slabs, would love to say, after a night on the tiles or the walk of shame, but Nooooo. Eventually got all the cracks cleared so will now be ready for dry cement to be strewn and swept into them.
Tomorrow is another task at Tin Pan Alley, the clearing the shed that has stood for over 41 years, and resembles the wonky house from Wizard of Oz, I have often had visions of it being swept away like that house, in a gust of wind but obviously never wanted to give in and stayed put, but the time has come to say goodbye to old faithful, many a child has hid in there playing truant, or hide n seek over the years and in some ways I will be sad when it goes, how an earth can I get sentimental over a bloody shed but I am (stop it you fool).
Clearing 41 years of crap out the shed to day was again quite satisfying, After a time decided to walk round to Viv's to take her Mels wheel chair, so she can use it if necessary for her next hospital appointment. We had a good chat and sat nicely in the sunshine, this is so difficult these days for us, as it is for all. But are fab plans that we were going to do are on hold and to be honest if anyone deserves a break its Viv, but it will be all the more fabuluuuuuus when we do kick are shoes off and do what we do best, not waste a minute of living.
Been out clapping again tonight and thinking how people are doing there bit, I have the pretty hair bands that the lovely Barbara has made, I have given some to my colleagues, the rest are going to the LRI, every little helps so thank you Barbara.
Will be clearing the rubble tomorrow, with a little help from my friend.
Had the window cleaner round today distancing all the time but you can always guarantee a bit of gossip so yes that's whats been missing in my life, everyone is being nice so made a change a bit of nudge nudge wink wink Love it, well all done now cus having a Gin, just seen lovely Irene on FB with a gin, but she will be in Portugal in the pretty village of Ericia, so cheers Irene chin chin,,,,,,,,night all
