Relax, relax, re...lax...

Yesterday, being my last working day for a week and a half, was a bit manic but I got stuff done.  The week I'm back, being only 3 days long, will make my head spin - but I don't need to worry about that for a while!

I have next week booked off, then there's the bank holiday, and the University have given us an extra day - so 7 days for the price of 5.  Big cleaning jobs, like the windows, will happen, as will daily doses of Ghost of Tsushima.  Other than that I have absolutely no plans, but it would be nice to get out for some walks with the husband.

We've got the solar fountain set up in the puddle pond.  The husband suggested filling a cut down Coke bottle with stones and gravel and sitting the fountain bit on top, and it works beautifully.  The solar panel has to be in full sun for the fountain to work properly, but it will have a go with any bright light - even in the rain, which I find quite sweet.  So, we have water, gravel, plants and a fountain - we just need a frog or two to move in.

The nasturtiums we planted in June with hopes of flowers next year have actually bloomed this year.  The flowers are every shade of yellow and orange and really brighten up the fence.

One possible job this week is to search out a coffee table we can use in the garden.  The plastic patio table is really too big.

And our little flock of sparrows continue to delight and amuse in equal measure.  They are ridiculously cute and we're so pleased they've adopted us.

Right, shopping today - best get my arse into gear!
