Firstly, who would have thought that Ocado could deliver gardening tools with your store cupboard essentials? We put an order in as we received a coupon (treat them mean to keep them keen - if you don't do a shop for a month or so, you get money off vouchers to tempt you back. I spin Ocado and Sainsburys against each other and do a bulk shop with one of them every few months, always with a voucher). We have restocked the pantry and saved ourselves a trip to the garden centre - which is good because we would have come back with a trowel and fork - and a rose arch, some blackberry canes and an olive tree...perhaps some pretty solar lights too?
I haven't actually done any gardening today. Instead I sat in the garden soaking up the sunshine. I am off of work and feeling a little under the weather. It was mild and sunny today and I think it has done me some good. I have begun work on a doily with some yellow gold Lyscordet I found for twenty pence a ball in a fabulous new secondhand shop last week. I haven't crocheted lace for a longtime, it is a fairly frivolous activity and I am all about the productivity in light of The Make List (Ambitious much)? On the other hand doilies are pretty and I am unwell...
No seeds were sown today, but I did fix up the mini greenhouse a couple of days ago in readiness for February. The rhubarb is making excellent progress which is cheering:
The rest of the day I loafed. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Welcome to my newest follower Dewberry. Thank you for visiting!
I have the same problem with garden centres. I love the picture of the rhubarb in the sun, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I know, they are lethal on the budget. Seed catalogue season is also ruinous to me!
DeleteCan you show us your doily when it's finished? I'm very curious of the result!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will. It is on hold at the moment, I have a few other bits I need to make, but it looks good so far!
DeleteWell done on garden centre avoidance! Very jealous of sainsbury's mines is 100+ miles away! Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteI know, but I love them so! All those green growing things! My Sainsbury's is about a mile away, but I hate shopping in supermarkets. How do you do your store cupboard shopping? It must be awfully expensive?
DeleteThank you for dropping by, it's nice to see you :)
I just stumbled across your lovely blog and thought I'd stop a moment and say hello ... anyone with yarn in their blog header has to be a good egg :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear you on playing Sainsbury's against Ocadao ... I really should do the same!
Thank you for coming by and thank you for your kind words Annie!
DeleteYes, you should play them one against the other, you can save a small fortune and it only requires you to check your email occasionally!
