Bit of a Tref day today. THG is off to the smoke with a pal and I have some jobs to be getting on with. Prepping campervan Betty for the weekend, bit of cooking, stuff like that. Quite looking forward to it. Might even start on my “coffee” table top for the shed. My biggest issue with this one is that I am using some original stuff to decorate the table. Gig tickets, boarding passes etc. Using PVA glue doesn’t protect them very well. It’s ok when using printed copies of things as is the case with the round table top as I can easily redo them but I want my Paul McCartney ticket, for example, to be protected and to endure. Was toying with the idea of using resin but that seems complicated and I might have to settle for varnish. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to fire my way.
As I have to drop THG off at the stayshun early I am already up and dressed for breakfast. This is not normal. When there is no rush to get ready I don’t rush. This isn’t to say I just sit on my arse doing nothing but if it is doable in my pajamas as is the case when tapping in philosopherontap posts then that is ok innit.
The sky outside is quite light. I got the impression from the wireless that it was going to be cloudy. One of them didn’t listen to the other – the weather and the BBC that is. Maybe one of them didn’t look out of the window or maybe they did and it was cloudy where they were. Maybe I didn’t listen to the weather forecast properly. Wouldn’t surprise me. At all.
In the jardin d’THG one pink dahlia adds a bit of colour by the decking. That particular flower has been there a while. It has stamina. We planted loads of dahlias for Hannah & George’s wedding but I don’t think they were ready in time. At least they are now there and ready for next season. The plan is to widen the border over the winter. It is overshadowed by the beech hedge and the thought is that a wider border with plants a little further from the hedge will produce more colour. It’s a plan.
You will also want to know that for the first time this autumn I had to switch on the car rear screen demister and the trees en route to the stayshun were very much different hues of brown and rapidly losing their canopies. The summer’s easy living has been left in the rear view mirror.
A pot of tea has been made and I must get busy in the kitchen.
