SLIP SLIDING AWAY

Much as we love our new lounge chairs, they have been SO ANNOYING since we got them!

Cos they kept sliding backwards over the course of the day/evening, until we were a good couple of feet away from where we started!

So yesterday we went into town to find something to put on the wooden bottom bits to stop them sliding.

We actually went to the Lazy Boy shop out in Te Rapa, but the sales lady had nothing to offer us in there, so we went to Mitre 10.  Got some rubbery strips to attach to the bottom of the chairs.

 ABOVE:  When we tipped the chairs upside down, we were surprised to see that there were smooth plastic strips attached to the bottoms!
No wonder they kept sliding.

Stew prised the plastic strips off and put the rubber strips on, and so far so good!  No more slip sliding away!

ABOVE:  My humble gardening efforts ... I now have parsley (which goes MAD), chives, oregano, mint and lettuces.   In a few weeks I will add more lettuces, so they are not all ready at the same time.
Don't ya hate that?  I can't remember how often I've had a dozen lettuces ready at the same time!

I also put some succulents into some unused pots... maybe they will survive next winter if I cover them with frost cloth?

Looking through Pinterest a while ago, I saw some grasses that had been plaited... it looked so neat!  I finally gave it a go yesterday afternoon:

 ABOVE:  I have NO idea how I managed to follow the line of the garden!  But even I'm impressed.  lol

ABOVE:  Brylee and I are going to have a go at plaiting the other two bunches sometime today.  I put our Weta under the middle bunch, he looks neat there!

ABOVE:  Bex sent me these photos last night... the boys got haircuts.  She said it's impossible to get a decent photo of them... I agree!
So typical one will look lovely, while the other one is making some sort of stoopid face!

So today?  Housework first and foremost!  Then who knows?

I was going on a FBG walk this morning, but it's getting too hot and humid for me to continue with daytime walks, so I am going to try and join up with some of the girls for a social walk tonight.  As I have Weight Watchers tonight, it might be a tight turn around, but I can try!

But right now, I have to get Keera ready and off to school... so catch ya later.

ONWARD...

I've had a suckful morning.  Once Keera was at school, I came home and slowly but surely got a horrible headache.  So I took some pills and lay down ... 2 hours later, I woke up.
Brylee and Griffin woke me.

They were finally up out of bed... at 11.45 am!
What a life.

So, I'm still feeling groggy and thick headed, but will head out into the garden and do some pruning, plaiting... and so on.

9.00 pm:  I finally started feeling better late afternoon, so got out in the garden and did some pruning... and Brylee and I did some more grass plaiting.

ABOVE:  I think this one is rather cute!
There's none left big enough to plait now...bummer!

Watching the final of Dr Foster, it's been a brilliant Series Two.  I hope there's going to be a Series Three.

Time to sign off, catch ya tomorrow.
