Despite having more important things to do this week I decided to paint the water butt that stands outside my kitchen door. It's now a lovely sage green instead of bright green with grey scratches. And the bit on the down pipe has been sprayed black like the down pipe. Don't know why I didn't do it years ago instead of just thinking how tatty it looked.

Reading a book about industrialised food has made me wonder about the contents of my food cupboard

I hope the last episode of Line of Duty lives up to all the hype!

DH has just suggested a brandy. Anyone like to join us?

I might get some new slippers. Not sure though.

Am I the only person who has never watched Line of Duty. It all seems very complicated.

I think it’s going to rain all day tomorrow, and I’ve got some lovely new garden furniture to try out.

I’m off out for a session with my trusty litter picker before it rains. I’m not sure why I always feel embarrassed to be seen picking rubbish up when throwing it down obviously doesn’t bother the people who put it there.

Well done to you Maggie.
I love to be cosy indoors and see the cold wind blowing the branches about madly on trees outside the windows.

I had half a glass of red wine at my son's house. I don't like red wine normally but this one was lovely. I was told it's Australian.

Well I was all set for it to be very wet today. A good excuse to 'coorie doon' with a good book. However, it's not wet after all. I blame the government!

When I defrosted that lump of red meat, liver? lurking at the bottom of the freezer; It turns out to be stewed plums from last Autumn's bumper harvest. Yum.

I have tackled my huge ironing pile

I'm about to look in the fridge, freezer etc for ideas for my supper. A gin and tonic first to help with inspiration

My newly bought lavenders are waiting to be planted out but not before tomorrow as it’s rained all day.

Listening to SMOOTH top 500 songs on the radio - down to the top 3! Been listening for hours

My feet are freezing.

It must have been really windy overnight. Some of my big garden pots had blown over.

I've had to put the heating back on ?

blowing a gale, trees down and raining so staying indoors today.

Sheets of rain here, coming down the chimney, and I am worried about that crack in the ceiling

I've had the fire on all day. In May!!

I’ve been sent a Shaun the Sheep for my garden.

Why does it always rain after I've watered the garden? Or maybe it was because the man next door washed his car.

I wish I could invent a potion to get rid of wrinkles. I might become rich and famous like Estée Lauder.
