a picture paints a thousand words
Jun. 17th, 2022 09:17 amIt was Elton John at Carrow Road on Wednesday night, but I—inside the house watching TV—didn't hear any of it. Beast was serenaded as he walked to and from chorus.
My first veg bed is in! Admittedly the soil hasn't been smoothed over yet, but yay! There are two blackcurrant bushes in it, because there they were, curranting happily, so the bed is built around them. There will be five(!) more. This necessitates some changing of plan, as I do not need another three raised beds for vegetables, so there can be more shrubs and flowers instead (also yay!).
I took some Stuff to the Oxfam shop yesterday, but while extracting it from the sideboard realised that a mouse had been chewing one of the T-shirts. This was a particular shame, as it was a brand new one—I had ordered the wrong size for my nephew, the company sent me a new one and said keep the first one. I went on a mission to find something for my son's birthday (this Sunday), and thought some pictures from charity shops might do. He has no aesthetic sensibilities at all that I can discern (a trait he shares with his late grandpa), so I thought perhaps a selection of attractive but cheap pictures might help me figure out what he might actually *like*. I had hoped he would enjoy abstracts, as I do, but he doesn't. In the end I bought seven, only one of which I am dubious about (but it was in the first shop where I found any pics, so I was looking to get several). After my charity shop picture triumph I spent a little while browsing in Loose's Emporium, which of course I did! It is a magnificent Emporium, indeed.
It's going to be HOT today. *woe*
ETA: 33 degrees! Yikes!
