MysteryJen Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Good morning! The sun is out but it will stay in the mid 60s today. I am going to spend time in the garden, read, maybe a few things in the house. Later, I might sew. Not sure what anyone else has planned- but there you go. Have a very nice Memorial Day! 6 Quote

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 Washed, dried and put away dishes, knives and pans. Wiped down counters, stove and microwave. Wiped down a couple of cabinet doors. Was talking to my elderly friend (the boss I had when I was in college - ahem - 35 plus years ago) but she got another call. She said that she'd call me back. 4 Quote

Hedgehog Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 It's a Bank Holiday here in the UK, which is sort of equivalent to a North American Labor Day. I gave the kids the day off schoolwork and went out to potter in the garden. Feeling quite achieved.. I managed to give the trees along the side of the driveway a trim, so that we will no longer get out of our cars into holly branches and wild rose claws; Planted up a hanging basket with sweet pea seeds, fingers crossed they will germinate okay; Helped DD20 plant up another couple of hanging baskets with flowers that she had chosen from the garden centre last week; Watered all of the remaining potted flowers and the seedlings I carefully started 2-3 weeks ago; Planted the strawberry plants in a pot and put it out of temptation's reach in the front yard (one of our dogs loves to dig up our pots, so we have gated the front yard to prevent her from ruining them); Had a chat with DD12, who is struggling with lockdown and teenage hormones. DS14 seems to be coping a little better; Went for a walk with DH in the evening just as the light was falling, which was really special as we don't often get the chance to do little things like that. I really hope I am not going to feel utterly wrecked tomorrow as a result of today's activity! Hope y'all are well and happy. 💜 3 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 Made dinner washed up the dinner making pans etc. did some filing. My friend/former boss called me back. We had a nice long and lovely visit. She's finding lockdown a bit boring but it helped to have our phone visit, I think. 3 Quote
