FROM WEEDS TO HERB

Went to Sainsbury's bought two chicken Kathi wraps for dinner , we bought more grass seed for another patch of soil that we want green .
Helen has another reading tonight so far she has had one every night and another two booked in tomorrow in Leeds.

I go back to work Monday which is pissing me off already and I have still three days off .
Helen wants to go to Meadow Hall Sheffield least its driving rather than gardening so i am happy .
We sowed the grass seed it really was overkill the  amount of seed that went down trouble is the day after it rained torrential and the water butt tap was left open so all the water that should have been contained in the plastic butt ended up going all over the soil and seed which is not what we wanted to happen. The best thing to do is leave it and see what comes through and reseed it later .
We have gone out and bought a water butt that will hold 250 litres it is now connected to the other water butt via a pipe we should be able to contain all future down pours.

SATURDAY.
Helen took some jeans back to Next and with the refund got a hanging pendant  light fitting  to go over the dining table , it looks a bit like a giant jam jar with the bottom open we also bought a  halogen bulb and glitter cover for it , i wired it up when i got home after turning the electric off before disconnecting and connecting wires , it puts out quite a bit of light .
Also bought a plaque with the words "And They Lived Happy Ever After " printed on it in italic writing .I also put that up when i got home .






SUNDAY
Boring i know but i dug out old plants and weeds and nettles and ,  things with thorns on the stems which always seem to grasp on to your jeans all this effect and scratches  is to get the soil ready  to make way for our very own  veggie garden . So we can do a bit of  home grown we have already got some herbs growing .

Its back to work tomorrow for a well deserved rest i won't be doing much , as  i will have about three hundred emails to get through , and i am a slow reader .
