    A real family day today . All four of us treked to the garden centre for plants, had lunch then came home to plant up (at least they did, I was only allowed to de stone the lawn ). I’m knackered now but it was a good day
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    The cheek! We have very, very chalky ground around here so Si dug up a ton of flint and chalk when he was digging the flowerbed and getting parts of the lawn ready for grass seed. It was my job to pick it up - apparently it’s the one gardening job I couldn’t mess up

    I’ve been cross stitching - as that was the only group of muscles that didn’t hurt lol. It’s been a week already since we lost Nala so I’m a touch low but I’ll live
