THE PLANS FOR THE LAST GARDEN

 

I'm quite sure Stew doesn't like me much right now.

I've been thinking about the last garden that needs a 'make over'... and there's one BIG thing I really want to do.

ABOVE:  See the water feature?  Yeah.  I want to move it.

ABOVE:   I want to move it to here, where it will be in a less 'cluttered' place, and will be more visible from the seating area.

It might mean getting an electrician to make a longer power cord, but if that's necessary, then so be it.

When something doesn't feel 'right' to me, I have to fix it.  So fix it I will.

The other thing I want to do is this:

ABOVE:  I want to build a 'half height' screen to cover the sight of the SKY aerial.  Then I can put pots 'n' rocks under it.

The brazier will go where the water feature is right now.

So, those are the plans for that garden.  I'm sure we can get it all done before Christmas.  😂😆

Today I'm going to ring our electrician to ask if we need to lengthen the power cord, or if an extension cord (weather protected) will do.

And I will do some prep work in that garden, even if that is only taking out all the existing pots and 'junk'.  😏😉

11.22 am, and it's been a slow morning.

I woke to rain, lots of rain.

So, I have not gone outside yet.  I might later.

I did the housework... washing away etc.

And I just can't seem to get any motivation to do much else right now.

I have plenty to do, so maybe I'm just being lazy. 😃😂

And that's OK, I don't HAVE to be doing shit all the time, right?

1.45 pm, and I finally got outside.  Did some tidying up around the back, pondered the stuff out there and how to re-arrange it.  Very limited options.

Frustrated.

And NOTE TO SELF:  Don't ask.  That is all.

I'm now going to take a break for lunch.

I just heard back from the electrician, and it's all good to use an extension cord,  with a special connector/outdoor cover that can be bought from Mitre 10.  So that's sorted.

I will be moving the water feature as soon as I can 'tee' up the helpers.

NOTE:  I didn't like where the water feature was from the moment it went under the kitchen window btw.

As for the brazier,  I will NOT put it under the kitchen window... not because YOU told me not to, but because I know it won't look 'right' there either.

I have spent quite a bit of time out there today, just looking, thinking and deciding what to do.

The brazier is probably gunna go slap bang in the middle of the paved area, so it's a focal point that we can 'gather' around and enjoy.

And I just ate half a packet of chocolate biscuits, cos I am feeling CRABBY AS FUCK.

Lacy visited this afternoon, to help me with a job.  Now, Stew is home and he's eating the last of the chocolate biscuits.  No way am I doing that again!  I've now got heartburn!  Ikkk, and serve me right.

Right, watching Coronation Street... then off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
