So Friday was spent doing the garden, back and front lawns plus some weeding, although had already blitzed some of it earlier a few weeks ago. Pruned the fuchsias down and tidied up the sedum.
Spent 2.5hr outside in the cold, wish I'd had the opportunity to cut it on one of the nicer, warmer days we've had this last week but sadly work beckoned. So was bundled up as expected in long sleeve tops, sweatshirt, pac-a-mac, scarf, fleece hat and my hood up to keep out the breeze 🥶
Still was pleased to have finished the first cut of the year in such a record time for me. Gardening is so not my favourite chore, but with the lack of places to visit and the diminished photography, and having binned off the gardener last year, it's fallen to moi to crack on and keep it tidy at least.
As someone else pointed out though, it is a job where one can measure one's progress visually, which is quite useful at times given mine is a desk job, so sometimes even though you are busy there's little tangible evidence to show for it. And at the moment it's an easy (and safe) way to get some fresh air and no social distancing required 🤣
