supertinksYay! The shed is finally up! And in the right place! I have my garden back!
This weekend has been a weekend of productivity. Yesterday we changed Jamie's flat tyre, and filled the car up. This involved jump starting the car from my car twice, as it turned out the battery is also dead (his car has been sat not doing anything for about a month).
Today, we bought lots of food, washed Jamie's car, cleaned the oil out of my boot (my spare tyre, jack, boot carpet and the entire inside of the spare tyre compartment have been soaking in engine oil since my bottle of Castrol emptied itself into the boot, after that idiot motorcyclist rammed the back of my car), checked my exhaust to find out why its rattling, re-levelled out the corner of the garden where the shed goes, hacked the holly back some more (after we discovered with our first attempt at moving the shed into place that we hadn't hacked it back enough), got the shed in position, made sure it wasnt wobbly, and made a floor for the shed out of Homebase's budget decking tiles. Jamie merrily filled all the gaps in the floor with expandable builders foam, as I used the last of the decking to make a step. Garden now looks awesome, the turkish (possibly) family next door with the irritating-as-hell daughters, and the chavs next door to them are now completely blocked from view (yay), there's still a gap big enough for the cat to get over the fence, and I can now get on with sorting out the rest of the garden.
I found in Homebase this morning a big 5 kilo bag of yellow daffodil bulbs for 6.99, once I have dug out the borders I shall buy them and plant them, so when the spring comes it will be a riot of Welsh-ness in the garden, and it will look pretty for relatively little cost/effort (after all, we'll be moving out in July).
We even managed to dig a hole in all the LRP kit and washing in the front room so I can get to my piano, and we put up the coat hook we've been meaning to sort out for weeks. I'm still in a sorting out stuff kind of mood, but Jamie's knackered and doesnt want to do any more. which is annoying as it means I can't tidy the living room, as both him and Andy are couch-potatoed in front of the telly watching Sahara. Maybe I'll tidy in here or upstairs instead...
We were going to have a lovely ginger and garlic turkey stir fry for tea, but Jamie can't be bothered, so he's ordered a curry from the awesome curry house down the road. Mmmmm curry.
