Tuesday, 26-05-26

Morning, everyone.  I'm a bit late with this but not to worry.  It's gloriously sunny again and it is already pretty hot outside although inside feels cooler with windows open and binds closed.

I am smalling very herby at the moment after pruning back the rosemary and the sage.  I have no idea if it is the right time but there's so much a bit of pruning shouldn't hurt at all.  I need to tackle the oregano too but that also requires some digging up.

I didn't go round to Beth's yesterday, nor did I do any front garden stuff.  And I got a message from Beth to not worry about the bread today either.  So I will slice and freeze it and get it to her as and when.

I have to stay in today as I have some deliveries, including the soil for the rhubarb.  It won't be too tricky to get it then planted out but I need to decide where I want it first because it will end up quite heavy.  I can drag but I'd rather not.
Now I am pondering about getting some of those coaster thingies that large pots can go on . . . does anyone know if they are worth it?

The other think I am expecting today is . . . if you remember, I've been pondering getting a bridge camera, just a basic one, for quite a while now.  I chose the one I fancied that had plenty of good reviews in various places not just Amazon, took a deep breath and ordered.  It is expected to arrive today so I will have fun starting to learn how to use it.  I expect YouTube will be very helpful here and I am sure I still have the 'A Year With My Camera' book somewhere.  I gave up last time because there was so much I couldn't do without a bridge camera; I found it so confusing.

So that's me for today.  Nothing energetic, nice and chilled, and tomorrow is supposed to turn into just a nice, warm UK summer day.  Fingers crossed.  xx

  1. Phew it’s a scorcher here today, but so nice to have a run of amazing weather and a good excuse to slow down on anything non essential 😀

    1. I am laughing out loud because, as I opened this blog a moment ago, I was thinking exactly the same thing. You can understand why Mediterranean living is generally very much lower and laid back, can't you? xx

  2. I have all my large pots on rolling pot stands, and wouldn't be without them. However, I move mine across level poured concrete. I don't know how they'd do on brick or stone. I would get one and try it. Sharon

  3. Which camera did you choose in the end? The offer of help with the "A Year With My Camera" workbook still stands if you get stuck. xx

    1. I went for a Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82D. From what I read, it is fairly basic but quite a good basic. Hopefully, I can do what the workbook says I should be able to do and get my hear round it a bit better.
      I've dug out the workbook and thank you very much indeed. xx
