I have worked hard today! After returning home from work I had a delivery of two tonne bags of logs, but the company I used could only deliver them to the concrete area next to my back door. So I spent the next 2.5 hours moving logs by hand to my shed, which involved walking round to the side of the house, dropping logs over the side of the iron railings onto the raised patio and after building up a stack, walked up the 6 steep steps to the patio and then transported these logs into the shed and stacked, phew! A lovely neighbour walking past called Gwen asked what I was doing and she smiled when I said "getting ready for Winter". By the time I had cleared up from this it was 9.30pm. Had cheese on toast and fell asleep for a while.

 

Another lovely day here and luckily the temperature is just right at 16 degrees, although it felt a little warm in the hospital. Thank goodness we don't have the sweltering conditions down south, which is part of the reason I moved here. Just finishing off putting the 4th bookcase together. Washing machine technician arriving at 9am to mend my dodgy washing machine, so no lie in tomorrow! Then a big list of jobs to do including putting more stuff on Facebook to sell – busy 🐝

 

I'm pretty sure I just had a Ghost moth fluttering around outside at 11.30pm, but it disappeared over Gallow Hill. There are some massive Leopard Slugs in my garden, which have just been escorted to pastures new – away from my bedding plants! 😉 🌼
