Decisions

Bless - thank you. I think the blanket will eventually be warm, snuggly and bright!

Eileen - the tests are stacking up. I think he had another one today and then there are a few more scheduled next week. He seems to be managing fine, though, so I'm letting him get on with it. 

Cherie - I love the signs of spring.

Patio - I had so much fun with the circles, even though I didn't get out much. I wouldn't be surprised at what washed up in the local floods, so I guess what could be under the snow could be even more surprising.

Here is my dilemma. Normally, anything I plant dies. I didn't plant the fuchsia, which takes over the front of the garden every summer, so it flourishes. There are a few other exceptions, but there are a lot of fails. I also planted some honeysuckle which I recently hacked violently back to get rid of the rat run along the wall to the drains. It is now sprouting vigorously. I don't really want to get rid of something that has actually survived my attempts at gardening, but I don't want a rat run.

Besides, it looks like it would be awesome curling through the wrought iron top to the neighbour's wall.

I can't ask the neighbours because they never answer the door and don't really hang out much. If the honeysuckle is like this now, then with time, water and a little feed, it could look like a flowery hedge.They may or may not want this. 

I'm going to have to have a think about it. It goes against the grain to cut back something so alive, but rats!

I haven't got a pic of the thing that made me smile today. I haven't had a chance, so I'm using a stock photo to show something similar.

Today I used hand sanitiser and a microfibre cloth to clean my windows. The windows were filthy, but it really worked well. It is now my go-to glass cleaner. And that made me happy.
