  • Week 28 – September 7th 2020 – Week 25 of lockdown

    So quite a few posting ago, I said watch the garden.

    So for another first, I decided to take up some of the lawn and put down new turf.

    How do you think I’ve done?

    I had just come back from the garage and you can just see me sit down in the video.

    Watch the left hand corner of the garage and then the chase.

    I could hear a lot of squawking going on, so I knew parakeets were around and captured this one in the tree.

    I thought that would be the best I would get.

    Can you see me?

    Then for the first and so far only time, I was lucky to get pictures of them in our bird area.

    Hope you like?

    As I mentioned in a previous blog, I said watch the right hand corner and the garage, well here you go, my DIY skills were expanding and I think this was the first time that I used the term MJ Limited here to serve 🙂

    The elephant found it new home and new companion too 🙂  

    Also turned this into a bird eating area, with a bird house and a walk way to make it easier for them to consume the food.

    Though eagle eye people will also notice other changes, more to come. 🙂

    What do you think?

    Feel free to leave comments.

    Did I really let the garage get that bad?  Bad me.

    What a MESS!!

    Obviously I did, looking at this in the garden, also make a note of the right hand side and in front of the garage.

    Garage_0021
    Yes it was that bad 🙁
    Garage_0023
    How much work to be done and runs to the rubbish dump?

    So who you going to call? COVID19 buster.

    What a difference, can actually use it again and find stuff, well I could before, but this is easier.

    New garden ornament, but where is it going to go?

    We’re not the greatest gardeners in the world, until this year I pity any new plant coming to our home, as It was like signing them to an early death sentence!

    This year though, the lockdown has had amazing effect on Claire and looking after the plants in the garden, nothing has died!!!

    This is the left hand side of the garden, which had been completely overhauled by MJ Limited.
