garden days.

 The last few days have been spent outside virtually trying to get our garden back into shape , planting the many flowers, both home grown and brought from the garden centre and weeding out the weeds, brambles and such like. ( considering that it was raining so much before the sun we are now having we sure have got an awful lot of weeds growing.)
i have started to appreciate  being able to make a space or area pretty and nice to spend time in ( that is when out husky doesn't  pinch the flowers off the begonias..... ( she seems to like red ones ) and eat the lettuce plants. ) Its kind of nice  being able to show something for my work in the mornings. i guess it is quite therapeutic also .... and keeps my mind from straying to other things.
On a down note Master is once again suffering from a bad back.. it must be bad because He is taking pain relief, something that i have rarely seen Him do , but help ( i hope) is at hand as we are getting a new bed with a special mattress  next week and i am hoping that this may help.
The hand although dressing free still has flare ups of swelling and does not like the sun at all.. It is fascinating to look at as you can clearly see the different layers of skin , It also gets quite painful by the end of the day  but i am thankful that the redness is not as large anymore.
The kettle arrived this morning with a built in water filter , ( Master was hoping this will help that it does not get so furred up with limescale , which is so rife in this area) i quite like it as it is scarlet, and because of the filter in it i have to pour in one cup at a time. The down side is that it is going to cost a little extra as we now have to change its filter once a week...
This months learning curve for me is trying to evaluate my time, fortunately i have not picked up any extra points at the moment ... but it is early days , Master also says that i have been getting a little smart with comments so i am secretly trying to work on this as well.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
