TINKERING AROUND

OK... what's the haps today?
I'm starting to struggle to come up with blog fodder!

Being stuck at home sure isn't conducive with finding stuff to blog about.  *sigh*

But I will try.

Today I'm going to see what I can do with this area of our section:

 ABOVE:  This area is on the south/east side of the house... by the wood shed and the tin shed.
It's kinda a 'dead' area.  We are just storing stuff here right now.

I'm going to have a go at making it a nicer area today.

Just not too sure what to do yet.

 ABOVE:  A bee on the mint plant.  

ABOVE:  Some colour in the garden.  I'm so happy I planted some flowers.  I love the way they brighten up the garden. 
And that fruit tree is slowly colouring up... still don't know what the fruit is though.  I really hope it's a mandarin.

We didn't end up having a picnic yesterday, it was just too hot outside.  Maybe today we will?

And now... I'm going to get up and start my day.

ONWARD...

12.35 pm:  And I've finally finished the back shed area.
Brylee helped me move bricks then she ran outta energy and whimped off to her room.

I kept going until it was done.



ABOVE:  I'm sure you will agree OLD MOO, it looks way better than how it was before I tittivated it.  When I came inside and looked at the clock it was actually 2.5 hours I had spent out there!  Time goes fast when ya busy.

Stew had to go into work again this morning, and he managed to find me an old camera to connect to my computer, so now I can have better video chats with family and friends.

ABOVE:  See, it just sits on top of my screen.  I was very surprised when I realised I didn't have a camera on my computer!
But then, I was used to an ALL IN ONE computer, so had no idea there was no camera till I tried to have a video call with a ZOOM group!

Ended up having to use me phone... which was OK.  But it is nice to now have one on me computer.

 ABOVE:  nice to see the boys, and have a conversation with them.  
Steve is doing well... he still has some pain, but it's not too bad.  He had blood tests today, so hopefully they all come back OK.

The biggest thing to keep an eye on is his inflammation levels, if they go up... it's not good.  So praying they are going down not up.

It's nearly Stew's lunchtime... so I shall bugger off and sort out some lunch.

4.30 pm:  And... after lunch I sat down and crochet'd a bunch of hearts.

ABOVE: And then I reaslised something.  If you are not allowed to touch people outside your bubble, and you're not allowed to pass baking over the fence to your neighbour, etc etc... how could I put the hearts out for children to take?

It would be breaching the restrictions, and perhaps putting someone at risk?  NOT that I have Covid-19 of course!  But I imagined some cop turning up on my door telling me I was breaking the friggin law by handing out woolen hearts.  *sigh*

So now... I have lots of hearts for the tree. 

 ABOVE:  I only put a smallish new addition on the tree today.

I've now got a damn headache and feel quite ill... so I'm gunna have a lie down for a while.
Stew is in his office having Friday afternoon drinkies with his work mates.  Online of course.

I suppose he will be late 'home'. *snort*

So after toiling in the garden for ages this morning, I walked inside and immediately thought "Owww, let's have takeaways tonight, I don't feel like cooking".  

And then remembered.  NOTHING is open.  Not a bloody thing.

So Stew had to go to the supermarket this afternoon, and he brought home stuff to cook a 'takeaway' dinner for us.

ABOVE:  Chips, battered snapper and chicken nuggests.  The fish was very dry, as I knew it would be.  I never buy processed fish from a supermarket.  Stewie wasn't to know.  The nuggets were delicious.

And that's a wrap of the day.  Gunna bugger off to bed now.  Catch ya tomorrow.
