Won’t you help me share my load

Over the last couple of days I have knocked my pan in..

I got up yesterday  (eventually)  I was a little under the weather, but after a lovely bacon and egg buttie I felt well enough to take on the world.  

And out into the drive i ventured with my bucket, my kneeing pad, and my trowel.  

Our drive is long enough for 3 cars.   It was starting to look like a wild flower meadow. 

I have no idea how long i was at it, but after I had done one side -  i weeded the front border as well. and then I set about the other side of the drive. 

Is awful.    I hate it, but I am so happy when it's done, it looks so amazing. 

I also repotted my gypsophila into pots and trays - I have probably over 300 of them.    But I want them all. 

I also repotted some of himself's tomatoes.  He was going to "kill" them, but I won't le thim do that, despite not liking the evil things..  I shall gift them to people at work. 

Today, i had a bank holiday whilst the Boys were both working.  I did think about going in, but to be honest, i was so tired I felt a day's holiday would be perfect. 

I started with coffee in the garden, after emptying the bins which hadn't been emptied the night before - the men hadn't been yet.    and folding ironing, and hung out washing and I stripped the bed. 

Then I sat at the garden table and I made some dangling things for the trees.   I bought two from the Pound shop at the weekend, and I figured I could make a similar one, maybe better.  That's what it is. in the picture. 

And then I set about the work. 

I painted the flipping fence and the shed.  yes I did    Down the drive.  My pallet flower stand, the uprights, and the shed.   Then I painted the gate, both sides and the front of the shed.  

it all looks amazing. 

I'm, very proud of myself.   When I finished I sat in the deckchair and fell asleep.  For AN HOUR.  When I woke up, I was a bit burnt, and hot and confused. 

I came inside, and realised my muscles were all sore and I was covered from head to toe in red paint.  

Si Came home - Stevie went to the Gym.   We had dinner when Stevie came back and then me and Si went to the allotment.   We watered everything.  I have at least 40 strawberries which i hope are ready for Saturday. 

Eventually I said to Si, I cannot hold the watering can any longer I must sit. 

A woman said to me "Oh my God, what happened to you".  

I looked at her confused.   I thought perhaps my boobs had burst out of my tee-shirt ((I was wearing a push up bra [Not recommended[}  but  as I glanced down, I realised she meant the paint. 

"nothing has happened, I have been painting". 

And then I sat and pondered, while Si finished the watering, did she honestly think that I had THAT bad an accident and then wandered up to the allotment to water my peas?
