As April leaves

I'm inside with mum

 I'm outside with mum, Purdy is a very social cat, she follows me around, but always watching everything in the garden, she does not wander far from this space. Grace is asleep in her basket as expected from an older cat, she never leaves the garden. 

 I have named this pot Kirk, after Kirk Douglas, they have the same nose and chin. The Japanese blood grass is growing well, I love the red tips.

This white bleeding heart is just getting bigger, it will now live in this pot, I have never had so many flowers on it. I will leave it here in the same spot through out the summer months. 

 My Peony is in bloom again, 

 This is the most loved plant in our garden, taken from my mum's garden, it was in the corner of the lawn when I was a child, it has to be about 60 years old. The wire racks are to keep our neighbours cats off the garden.

The photo's were taken on Monday, whilst the sun was shining, again we had the patio doors open all day, spending so much time in the house makes me notice more than before, sadly I have no plans for the garden, everything big has been done, we are now both happy with the garden.
Hubby wants to clean and oil the decking, he also want to tidy our 2 wooden loungers and 2 spare wooden folding chairs, I do have to paint the front of my shed.
On the whole April has been a good month, we are all well in lock down, I did manage to lose a couple of pounds, I did put some on over the Easter weekend, but they came back off again. A few of my friends are putting weight on, they are now looking at their intake of food. Through health, I found out I had very high cholesterol when I was 19, so I have always watched what I eat and control food, I just needed to cut back on the super rich food and portion sizes. I do feel really good, I have found out clothes which I could not wear last summer, it's like having a new wardrobe, I looked for a favorite pair of shorts, which I think I sadly got rid of. I won't need any new shoes, the 2 pairs of sandals from last year both still look good.
I stayed up late last night and got another delivery slot from Asda, there is no point in looking at Sainsbug or Tesco, they are always fully booked. It means we are having a delivery once a fortnight, our daughter is doing the same, but on the week in-between, so we are getting most of what we need.  We help our neighbour who is shielding for 12 weeks, a couple of days before delivery there is always messages flying everywhere. Our lovely neighbour brought us some more bread flour, which again we have shared, hubby made them another loaf, and if I can get some SR flour, I want to bake a cake for them.
