Stew goes back to work next Monday. I will actually miss him ... strange eh? lol
But he'll only be back at work 6 weeks before his knee operation, then he'll be home for a few more weeks.
Until his operation, I'll get him to do a few more jobs around here while he can.
I have a real hankering to visit Whitianga again, it's been a long time since we went up there.
Maybe in the next few weeks we can.
10.20 am, and I've been up and got all the housework done, and a few odd jobs too.
I DO 'work' and do jobs around here, it's certainly not all left up to Stew.
Though, he will be going up the ladder today and putting a couple of things up in the attic, I simply cannot do that. I get vertigo and nearly fall off ladders.
In fact, I've had a few nasty falls from ladders in the past, so I simply don't do it now.
Moving on, Stew has done his exercise routine, here and in the gym, and is now in the shower.
I'm thinking of persuading him to take us out to a beach again later on.
Shame that, but then, there really is a lot in our gardens already.
I put my first hydrangea cutting in a pot just now, it had grown a good lot of shoots while in a glass of water. I must go around soon and get more cuttings from plants in our village, there's some really spectacular ones worth cultivating.
About an hour and a half ago I went for a walk, to take some hydrangea cuttings.... and one neighbour invited me inside for a chat. And yep, that took an hour. Lovely lady, she had a gorgeous hydrangea too, so she gave me a cutting, and one of the flowers off it. I would LOVE it if I can get it to grow and produce flowers like hers!
Stew is watching some 'shoot 'em up, bang bang' movie. Once that is over we will probably think about dinner. Probably be just snack type things, as we had a decent lunch.
I just had 3 weeks off and gosh it was hard going back this morning then to have to play catch up where my replacement hasn’t cleaned properly
ReplyDeleteI bet there's heaps of people having to go back today... I feel sorry for them. I'm blessed to be able to stay home.
DeleteI originally booked two weeks as daughter wasn’t sure what dates she was home then mums funeral was the week after so I took another week off as well. I have heaps of holidays to use before I retire at the end of the year🤫
DeleteIs Stew OK climbing ladders with his knee - suppose he slipped. I understand though about your vertigo, I have it too and can't even hang the washing out now Audrey
ReplyDeleteThe garden is looking beautiful and interesting which I love.
ReplyDeleteThe wonky house is much bigger than I originally thought. It is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI spent the weekend doing "location scouting" for the movie I am currently working on. That is quite an experience.
For example we need an Asian restaurant. We have one restaurant where the owners are so excited and "Yes, please film here - we will even make the "prop" food". But that restaurant is too "cheerful" we need a bit more ominous vibe. There is another perfect restaurant with the exact vibe we are seeking - but the owners are all illusive and won't even talk to us. We ate there last night and asked to talk to the owners and were told we could "leave a note". So we ate. And when it was time to check out - there was NOONE. We were all alone in the restaurant. Ironically - that is what we need for the spooky vibe. But, seriously? The producer will hound them until they give a proper answer, even if it is "NO".
I hope you get the restaurant you want. Yes the wonky house is quite big, hard to show it's size without something to measure it against. That worked today with Stew and the fence etc in the photo. I really hope a bird makes it a home.
DeleteJust realized I haven't eaten today had an upset tummy most of yesterday not to great still but now it's 4.30 and I'm peekish what can I make for an early tea
