Three bags full

OH was playing golf so I decided on a few hours in the garden.  I ordered three cubic metres of compost to top dress the borders and he did one bag yesterday and I did one this morning.  Hard work shovelling and barrowing but the garden will thank me for it.

I came in for a shower and toast then headed off to Asda to take back the faulty kettle (Amazon refund and probably will soon be in one of the Amazon pallets that you can buy?). Home for 3.00 and OH was just having lunch!  I had a call arranged with my sister (having already spoken to other sister and brother this morning - actually sister talked, I listened?!  Call with my brother was me crying and him listening.)

I had planned on doing some sewing and must finish baby Freddie's quilt but did a bit more admin instead - nothing straightforward and Santander needing more information uploaded.  Almost there I think?

Chilli for dinner which was not great, not hot or spicy enough and I lost at scrabble!!  OH watched a series that I had got bored with but I was messaging F who told me how to save voice messages on my phone.  So now I have 42 voice messages from Aimee over the last 2.5 years - happy that I can still hear her voice but really sad that I won't ever just be able to pick up the phone and chat to her?

Actually made me think today - as much as I love both my sisters, they talk a lot and don't listen much?  Aimee was so different, our conversations were always two ways and she was so engaged with everything.  A very rare skill these days, actually listening?

Day done and hoping tomorrow will be less sad?
