Having a better day.

Well I seem to be having a much better day today...My knees and right hip didn't ache so much today and I managed 3 hours out on the nursery with only a couple of short breaks for a brew I got loads achived too...I planted seeds and re-potted quite a few plants and top dressed some plants as well, they do look better now..
I only had my and pills this morning and I've just had them again now and I feel pretty good too...

My back is a little sore tonight but should be ok after a reasonable nights sleep...

I didn't have such a good night last night...My head was full of lots of ideas of this that John could make for me and how I was going to plan out my office next week...well the frame will be up next week and maybe the floor will be put in too....Well that's a start.....

I hope that if the weather stays like it has been today (nice and sunny) My arthritis might not play up to much and I will get plaenty done this week...

Anyway I am quite high sprited to night not sure why, prehaps it's because I got loads done outside today...

I hope I can keep this up... I really could do with out another flair up this week...

I will be lloking after Edward again tomorrow as John will be out all day at the unit...Me and Ewdard are going in to town to do a little shopping then we'll have some lunch no doubt Edward will probably need a sleep in the afternoon...we think he;s growing again...

And of course I'll look forward to John coming home...hopefully not to late as he has another meeting tomorrow night....

Back to me...I'm going to have agood week \I've decided I could do with a full good week...Not just a few good days...so I'll be taking my pills every day so I shouldn't get to much trouble or pain...I'll just have to wait and see...I hope I carry on like today...I really didn't have a lot of pain unti I had finished...

The Back Garden Nursery Part 3

New month new page for the nursery...and were busy,busy,busy!!!
It's been a lovely quite warm day so far so I've spent most of the afternoon outside on the nursery as I could see there were lots of little jobs to be done...

I've made a frame and covered it with protection fleece to warm up the soil a bit so I can get a few seedlings planted  at the end of the week ...

 I've had to pot up another batch of bolotto beans as they've out grown there pots again...They do grow so quick....

I've also sown some more stripped courgette seeds and pumpkin seeds as well as some gypsophylla seeds for the summer for cutting flowers...

I've also planted my potato's in the 2nd vegetable patch so I will have to keep a look out for there shoots so I can kept them covered with soil until May when they the leaves can then grow above the ground...as before the end of may we may just get a few more frosts which might not do them to good....

There are so many seedlings that need planting out, there all quite hardy now as the greenhouse that they are growing now is un-heated so they get used to our climate quite quickerly....once out in that greenhouse.....

Hopefully I'll be able to get back out there tomorrow afternoon as I'm at the unit all morning....

And I know I still have a few summer bulbs to pot up and I'm sure there will be more things to pot on...
But hopefully not the bolotto beans again tomorrow (joking).......
