So this Sunday has arrived on the back of a week of heavy rain showers, with a splash of thunder included. However when the sun as managed to break through, it's been hot. Which means that when they start talking about a hot summer is on the way, they are probably correct!
This means I'll be hiding indoors if that happens! Between showers we have been continuing the garden tidy up.
Paul finished off replacing some old paving with some old bricks to the path on the right in the above photo, it runs along the side of the doll studio , so now it matches the brick area in front of the studio.
These two new brick paved area's have really tidied up this part of the garden. Bringing the troughs round from the front garden to here , have helped them have better sunlight and are not overshadowed by other plants.
This year all the Magnolia's seem to have put on a spurt and are also full of lovely green leaves, like the magnolia behind the troughs above.
Our eldest daughter's partner is going to come round sometime in the next couple of weeks and using his drone take some footage of the garden , which we are really looking forward to seeing, especially the aerial views. We will share it where we can.
This week one of the dogs, probably Rufus, whose tail could be used as a lethal weapon, knocked my laptop onto the floor, it seemed fine until a day later when it would not open ! one of the hinges is broken , so after a lot of careful handling , we managed to get it open almost but not quite to having an upright screen ! I gave instructions that no one was to close it , only to on the second time of using I shut the lid !!!!!!! Managed to get it part way back up, left it overnight , then managed to get it open once again ! It's not perfect, I have to put something under the keyboard in order to get the screen straight but I will need to see if I can get it repaired while I wait ! Cannot hand it over and be without for days !!!! So another expense !
Meanwhile my faffing about continues ! Takes me at least half the day, before I'm even thinking of starting on all the things I need to be doing and then I only need to be side tracked and nothing gets done! So I must avoid this happening next week, so I can get more things sorted along with some sewing.
Today's headliner was my Gotz Luisa, who I thought looked great amongst the flowers, so used her photo.
On the sales front, a few more little bits and pieces and a bear went off to new homes, so little by little, things are slowly moving.
I did however slip of the wagon yesterday and bought a small non Sasha doll , which meant I had to sell on a couple of pairs of shoes towards her cost but my own fault for falling off that no dolls month wagon, so only three wheels left but I can make it to the end of the month. . . . .
On that note I will wish you all a happy healthy week ahead , filled with doll and family fun.
