THROWBACK, THEN AND NOW

I'm not really in a blogging mood today.

So you get this:


 ABOVE:  13th of October, 2019. Just a jungle of Japanese Maples, and undiscovered ROCKS.



ABOVE:  20th/21st December, 2019... and TWO ROCKS found.  They managed to move the smaller one (behind the BIG one).


ABOVE:  The same area... 8th February 2020.  Quite a change!

 ABOVE:  29th January, 2020.  Just a mess.

ABOVE: 2nd February, 2020.

And that's where we are for now.

I'm feeling really ikkk today.  Not in a good mood.  


ABOVE:  I'm suffering from unexplained crabbiness.

I will come back later, hopefully in a better mood.

ONWARD...

10.42 am:  Well I finally got outta bed at around 9!  Lacy turned up for left overs.  So I got her to earn them!
She bathed the dogs and watered the lawn.


 ABOVE:  They smell much nicer now.  It won't be long before they will need grooming again.  Particularly Marley, she is a fast hair grower!


ABOVE:  cos I can, you get this.


 ABOVE:  The lawn is starting to look lush in some  places, and the final stubborn areas are finally sprouting grass too.


ABOVE:  Once it sprouts, it certainly doesn't take long to fill out.  That patch in the middle of the slope was bald just a couple of days ago, and the top bit?  Sprouting!  

Obviously I can't stop showing you me friggin GRASS!

Like ... it's awesome shit. lol

I'm now in me sewing room and about to start another zippered purse.



ABOVE:  2 X Large Zippered Purses and one 'normal' sized Zippered Coin Purse.  I kinda love the dogs!

I'm now taking a break cos I have a thumping headache.  Relax time.  Followed by a swim.

Well, no swim today, I just feel like shit.  Still got a thumping headache.
Stew arrived home and as it was just the two of us for dinner, we went out for a burger.  

Burger Fuel is just down the road, and they make  THE BEST burgers ever.

Not doing much else now, taken some more painkillers, hoping it kills the headache.

  8. Feel better soon. You've done a lot in the past few months and even though it's good stuff it still takes its toll. Have a chill day.

  14. The garden is looking fantastic in such short time too! Keep showing us the grass pics, it's oddly fascinating to watch it grow!!

  15. I can't believe how fast your grass is growing! It is doing so well. I need to re-sow some of our front lawn but we are on water restrictions now in Christchurch so can only water our gardens every second day, so think I'd be wasting my time at the moment. Your latest sewing projects look great - the dog ones are so cute! I hope tomorrow is a better day.
