Morning, everyone.  We must have had some very heavy rain overnight as the garden is absolutely soaking at the moment.  I've just gone round the tomatoes, shaking as much excess moisture off them as I can - a little anti-blight trick my Dad told me about a long time ago.  Does it work?  Who knows; it is hard to prove a negative.
Anyway, it's been wet, it's cold (single digit temp) but the forecast for the next few days is really positive so that's cheering.

My lovely next door neighbours have just had all their fencing replaced and when I walked past the back gate yesterday I saw this.  What on earth??? 
Why cut a hole at the bottom of a brand new fence?  They don't have a cat and anyway, cats can jump.

And then I saw a Facebook post and all was made clear.  They have regular hedgehogs visiting each night and this is for them to continue to be able to get in.
What lovely neighbours.

My Little List worked wonders.

After Groove and breakfast, I started weeding and dead heading round the front and got pretty much all of it done before the first few raindrops fell.  When I realised, I quickly got out the mower and cut my little green patch of < cough > grass.  I didn't get any of the back done but that's on the list for today.

Sorting out the freezer is a job that doesn't require fine weather so I went to the shed and got that done too.  There's still a few items still in the front opening freezer, mostly bits and bobs I am working to use up but I am very hopeful that it will be sorted and empty by the end of this month.  It's only taken eight months, that's all!!  

As almost always, sorting out the kitchen didn't take much time at all, just a bit of putting away really.

Today, I have circuits at the studio and my Little List consists of finishing off the front (weeds between the slabs and a good old sweep up) before moving onto the back for more of the same.  
I have just added another item to the List - the blue room (guest room really) is a fair old mess and, while I don't think it will take all that long, it does need a good tidy up.  It's far too easy to just dump things on one of the beds rather than put them away properly.

Getting there . . .

The sun is shining now and I need to move on to social media stuff for a short time before starting the day.
Hoping your day is as useful and satisfying as I hope mine will be.  Stay safe.  xx
