Sit Rep
Not a lot has changed.
Post Surgery
Still very very sore n swollen.
My sleep pattern is all over the place and I am not able to have a problem free night yet so I nap as and when I can.
So off to DR’s tomorrow Am for a visit and some advice.
No playtime for me.
Much as though I appreciate not having to go into my workplace and I love my home, the days are long and tedious.
I am bored and because I am in too much pain to go anywhere too far from home , am finding ways to use up all my stuff in n my fridge and freezer, supplies are running low and I will have to venture out soon into town somehow to replenish the essentials for the store cupboard.
I am longing for the day that I can get about even on the bus.
Passing The Time
I have found myself watching some really bad movies.
Whilst slightly entertaining Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is far to too long 2.33 , it could have been cut down heaps.
Hostel , I find myself asking why it was made at all , the world could have lived without this brutal flick.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets : Just pointless
Beowulf : Just Bad
Shrek 3 : They should have stopped at 2
I did however enjoy , Live Free Or Die Hard.
Garden
The garden whilst not doing anything in the growing department , is often busy with my chums the birds.
The Starlings are loving my home made fat seed lumps , I recycle all the rendered fat that comes of my lean grilling machine and combine the results with a mix of wild seed and mealworms and they wolf it down.
I managed to spill a huge amount of my home made granola so now that is being utilised as bird food as well and they are loving that.
The woodpecker that appeared the other day to enjoy his peanuts in my garden , has yet to resurface , Murray I was unable to catch a shot before he flew off sorry.
The robins and the great tit’s are pure comedy to watch doing their aerobatics , when they target the feeding stations , like little dive bombers.
Last years clutch of baby wood pigeons are growing well and I can now count three that regularly appear for their feed.
I have lost some my chilli plants from last year [ I think ] but I am hoping to keep them hardy in the conservatory and maybe they will resurface , some of them ,the larger ones are now residing in the kitchen window, keeping the aloe plant company just to stave off the chill that’s around.
Still looking for a regular supplier of manure that I can get into the garden.
No joy as yet.
The composter , one of my Christmas presents to myself is now fully installed , where the old hedgehog house was situated [ No visitors so it will now become another raised bed ] , and filling up as I clean up both front and rear of the property.
Projects
Purchased a Dremel Style Tool off Ebay , so maybe some new ideas for the garden , lets see , I am longing to do something differant to pass the time and I have some ideas for some ceramic/terracotta patio and garden lights that should make interesting work and viewing when finished.
I would like to start making recycled sculpture that could be used in the gardens , like wooden chimes and mobiles and the like.
