In A Slow Period...
Monday starts to draw to a close...Cannot say that I have done much. Played bingo this afternoon. I had some more of the buffet I had put up for my friends and myself last evening. As it was raining I booked a taxi to the afternoon bingo. I gave up on the idea of using a bus. But you can guess by the time the taxi arrived the rain had stopped. And it has not rained since.
Its only around 10pm but I may very well consider going to bed where it is cosy and warm. Listen to the radio. I have refuse and rubble sacks so tomorrow if the weather behaves I shall think about re-bagging garden rubbish and some rubbish in the back garden. Put the remainder of the fabric down on the lawns for resowing next year. Cut back a shrub that is where it should not be and kill that next year too.
If I have really made headway and the lawns are dry enough I will strimm the front lawn again and take off the untidy bits of the hedge and later in the week perhaps buy some plants again for the tubs. Possibly buy a hanging basket too.
Depending on the weather I will go to Woodhorn Collery either on Wednesday or Friday. If I go Friday there is a free folk concert between 2pm and 4pm. I don't have to rush home so I don't mind leaving after that, I will still be home by 7pm or 8pm. I can set out at 9am and still be there for Noon and that gives me two hours before the music starts. The railway on the site appears to run on Saturdays so another time I may have to think of going at the weekend.
Saturday as said previously I am still thinking Stockton but have to decide whether to go down to the river area or concentrate on the retail and market area of the town. And I will have been out early for my flu jab. So a good day to go. Planning on arriving for 10am and because of bus services I will have to think of coming home around "Tea Time" unless I take a detour and catch the bus to Durham adding time and miles to the journey but I can still get home a little later and its not as if I have anything planned.
On these dark nights I would only be indoors filling in time and I am really less interested in television these days. I tuned into a special edition celebrating ten years of Deal or No Deal where the shows host was the one opening boxes to raise money for his charity and I found it hard to believe its been on the air for ten years and that many years ago Mum and myself used to watch it on a regular bases. I feel that way about many of the programmes that fill up a lot of the TV schedules these days.
There are still quality programmes being made but they are more difficult to find or perhaps its me that has changed.

How are you going to get rid of your garden rubbish? Pay someone to take it away?

The majority will go that way. Some are being used to weigh down the fabric on the lawns and as it is decomposing and mostly grass cuttings it is reducing in how much there actually is. Hence I can now probably fit it into half the amount of sacks it originally filled. :-)
I have to state again that I am feeling positive and getting on top of things before Winter really arrives. My blog entry perhaps gives a wrong impression.
I have some trips planned and three "Big" theatre shows at the end of September and during October. As always something unexpected comes along. As for the shows they were booked ages ago.
Why do you have to state again? All I asked was a simple question about your garden rubbish. :D

:-) If we were talking(in person)I am probably not as serious as I perhaps come across via the written word. Fair point.
Been out to the Music Club...we were short on numbers attending but it was still a great night. And I have had a chicken salad since coming home.
Now I have to decide what I am doing later today...a trip out or a pottering around day.
Watch out for those froglets when you do shift those sacks. :)

I couldn't bring them home with me last night with the shopping but was thinking of bringing some unidentified flowers(I don't remember their name)some chrysanthemums(£2 for four)cyclamens(£4 for four)to put in the border or into tubs in the front garden for Autumn/Winter.
I assume the prices aren't bad. They looked OK quality wise and were said to be OK for this time of year(even if it gets a bit frosty)
I'll try and bring them home tonight and if I cannot manage everything, I'll call again on Friday night.
I was to garden today but the weather isn't good, I'm tired too.
So jiggling tasks around...still on for the trip to Woodhorn(Friday)Flu Jab(Saturday)and Stockton that day and garden on Sunday/Monday and Tuesday, even Wednesday but I don't see it taking that long.
My afternoons and most mornings will be free even if I have some events on the same days(I have a play on Tuesday night and a big band concert on Wednesday)Bingo Sunday night/Monday afternoon.
But because of these events and the end of the display at Woodhorn only days away tomorrow is the only day I can go. And it has to be an early start. Not so coming home.
I have my flowers :-) The one I could not remember the name of was Dianthus commonly known as(but not to me)Sweet William.
If the weather stays fine(or dry and dull)I am away to Woodhorn in the morning but I and no one else has picked up on something...until tonight when I was talking to man sitting on my table at the bingo. The display ends by November 1st and so I've been saying I have to be there by next Thursday at the latest. Doh! I've only gone and missed out all of October :-)
Sweet Williams are lovely. :) But get them in the ground asap. Look out for wallflowers too, which if you plant now will give you lovely scent come April/May. :)
I'm glad you're taking an interest in your garden. All this hard work now, means we will be rewarded in the spring. :) But do clear those rubbish bags in the garden away asap, before little animals decide to hibernate amongst them, because if you disturb them whilst they hibernate, they'll die.

You mentioned Wall Flowers :-) A discount supermarket is selling some in the next week or so. £3.99 for six. A good price? That's approx 66p a plant.
Some of the plants I am planting I have never before in my life(and that's a long time)
