That’s one for the family archives @Pat E .....what a thrill 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve woken up to sunshine, but don’t think its meant to last 🙄. Doesn’t bother me today as I will be in a classroom, learning about hard landscaping 🤣. Mr C is the hard landscaper round here .....I just do the frilly, frothy stuff.
You’ve brought back memories to me Chicky. In our 3 year horticulture certificate course we had to lay bricks for steps as well as control tractors and various diggers. I’ve forgotten all of it now. Very enlightening for we females. 🙄😁
Morning folks,oh Chicky,frilly frothy stuff!!! Don't let my neighbour hear you say that. In my time, before I retired,I did a 12.5 hour night shift,had a 50 mile commute by road,and barrowed I don't know how many tons of shingle 200 feet, carried 6 by 6 fence panels etc my neighbours said I was like his wife,only doing the pretty fluffy stuff,I was fuming.
Anyone who’s a gardener knows that achieving the frilly, frothy stuff can be hard graft. Plus you have to do it all again next year. That’s why Mr C leaves it to me .....no stamina and a low boredom threshold 😉
Wish we were actually laying some bricks @Pat E.....but sadly, I predict we will just be looking at pictures of other people doing it. Next year I’ve enrolled for the practical course, so might get to try my hand then 🧱 🧱
Good luck with that Chicky. 😁 Have you done surveying as well. We went out with a surveyor who took us to a hill where the road had been put through and he told us (hmmm, taught us) how he had to estimate how much soil/rock needed to be removed and therefore how many truck loads had to be organised. I was cross eyed by the end. 😁
I've been trimming my hair. It was cut much shorter than I like in January, now it's back to normal. Look forward to going to my girl in Norfolk, I hope she's still there.

Looks cold, grey and gloomy. Taking coffee back to bed.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
