Monday in shades of lavender

.....Sunlight on the grass as I sat serenely on the back step potting up ten lavender plants.
Monty goofed as a spot of compost fell on his head. Silly boy.

I've placed the green plant pots in and around a few flowering shrubs and by carefully placing one of the pots next to the apple tree I managed to cover a hard crack in the dried up soil.
Something saddens me about dryness.
Which.... led me to fill three watering cans with water from the Water Butt so as to refresh the new baby plants and ease the pain of scorched earth.
My empathy has no bounds.

Had a quick natter with mum about potatoes, Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest and England's warm-up match with Norway...Heaven help Hodgson if it goes pear shaped. Can't wait for all of it! I feel a major cook-in will be necessary as will a long sit down.
I love events!

...After washing the dirt from my hands I made a 'risotto' adding mushrooms, peas and tomatoes to the easy cook rice...Along with curry powder, garlic and s&p. Decent little mix this, goes with any kind of meat, especially good bangers which is what we'll be eating tonight.
Pudding is being a pain, probably plump for tinned pears and chocolate custard!

Now I must fly........................
:)

I woke this morning.
Unfortunately!

Weathers being a real pain so am feeling incredibly frustrated at being unable to get wellied-up and in and around the flowers and birds. By the way I've ordered 10 lavender plants which will, I'm certain, be planted in abundance by the front door. Really looking forward to doing that. A lot of digging will be required to 'make good' the patch of earth/lawn near the aforementioned door but as long as the weather eases up I don't foresee problems.

Back to now...there's cooking to be lovingly done so will roast some beef and bake a crumble whilst keeping an eye on the snooker and....tomorrow.

Cheerio:)
