It took me four hours to put a flat-pack 4 draw metal filing cabinet together. Not easy at all and nearly lost the plot doing it. Cleared the big tubs of tomato plants out of the shed and brought in my geraniums and other non-frost hardy plants for the Winter. Sleet forecast for next Friday!
Nothing unusual in the garden yet – the usual House Sparrows, Starlings, Collared Doves, Rock Doves, 1 Robin and 2 Blackbirds and also the Leucistic Sparrow. I'm surprised I haven't had any Bramblings or a Hawfinch yet. The last few leaves remain on my sycamore tree in the drive. A typical day here of rain, sun, rain, sun and so on!
After advice from the paint shop in Lerwick, I'm going to paint the front edges of my new bookcases, which involves lightly sanding with a fine sandpaper, then applying an undercoat of specialist paint and then a top coat of pure brillliant white. Its all set up and ready to start tomorrow night after work. By Friday I can then put everything in the office, which is very exciting!
