A fellow Blipper asked what the flower selection was for my Autumn tubs, so here goes - after looking them up. I knew some but had forgotten the names.
Ornamental Cabbage
Dianthus Gem (pink + white flowers)
Cineraria Silver Dust - white leaves.
Carpet Bugle - Ajuga Reptans (burgundy and green/white leaf
Yellow and Blue Violas.

I must have overdone it yesterday in my enthusiasm as today I'm feeling a bit worse for wear and walking like an arthritic 90 year old! Actually I'm an arthritic 66 year old but not so as you would normally notice!
I really must take things a bit easier and that is exactly what I am doing today.
I shall sit and admire the garden and do some knitting!

Frank took the old - now chopped up - boat sofa bed to the tip this morning. Am I glad to see the back of it! It was a horrible rust colour and I always had a cotton throw on it to hide it and the throw was forever slipping about.
I offered it to various charities but they can't take such things without a fire retardent label on. I offered it to a refugee charity but they couldn't collect it. I advertised it on Facebook Marketplace for free, and on Narrowboat forums, but nobody even asked about it. It was actually a good quality one and quite comfy, just the wrong colour. I am not a fan of brown colours. So with nowhere to store it, it had to go before the new one arrives.

I think the weather is changing for the worst but for now it is still dry and a bit sunny.

Off to do my knitting now ;-)X
