Girlie Gardening – Part 3
Got up somewhat early today (early for me, anyway), had some breakfast, went down the paper shop then made my way into the garden again. I thought I got all the weeds and stuff yesterday but my dad said I missed a wild bush, I thought it looked quite nice and I thought it was planted but I removed it. After pulling out the weeds yesterday I could get to some more grass behind the bushes so I got the strimmer out and strimmed away. I moved a lot of the wood and stacked it in a pile in the corner of the garden, I’ll remove that sometime. Today I thought I’d finish the grass and start clearing up the rubbish.
Buckets full of manky water with Gawd only knows WHAT was in there. I tipped a lot of it down the drains and put some clean water down it after. When I looked up I saw a brown spider crawlling up my arm and heck, didn’t I scream!!! Dancing around like a mad idiot I blew the thing off my arm and couldn’t settle until I saw it on the path, knowing it was totally off me.
I went into the kitchen and got some clear sandwich bags and put them on my hands to pick up the rubbish as I didn’t want them on my gloves nor my hands. I told my dad anything that we didn’t need, chuck it. Am tired of us keeping things we think we’ll use, but we don’t. I binned quite a lot of plant pots, a few broken buckets, cupboard doors, an old chair, crisps packets, rusty tins – you name it, it was there. I put them all in black bags and took them to the tips, but not before stopping for a break and eating a chocolate cornetto, yum!!! The bags were quite heavy and at one stage I had to ask one of the guys there to help me as I couldn’t lift them out of the car, nevermind into the tips!!
I then went to No Frills to see if they had any bird feeder tables. We have a washing line in our garden which we hang the bird food from. I haven’t used the washing line for the right purpose for a looong time, I’m always scared if I put clothes up there to dry a spider will crawl in and make a home there or something but I think I will take the risk and put clothes out there sometime. Especially towels, they’re a pain to dry.
As I stopped working today I took off my gloves and noticed a little red worm on one of my fingers. Icky, ick, ICK!!!
I haven’t got much time today as I am due in work this afternoon and want a bit of dinner first but maybe when I come home I’ll probably do some more. Depends how tired I am and if the weather is still good.
