i went shopping this morning and felt like a secret criminal as i wanted to buy a spade to dig up garden stuff and put crazy (and i mean crazy) paving down instead of having a mud lawn with the odd tuft of grass here and there. i am trying to minimise mud in the house.
because financially things are fairly pinchy right now my other half laid down the law the other day...'we can't afford a spade' he said ???. well anyway there was one for six quid in asda on the old Kent road so i got it and then snuck it into the garden to avoid an argument, i mean for gods sake..... so my institutionalised paving is underway, haphazard uneven but full of character. and i am not doing it 'properly' with cement, i am just digging, putting sharp sand down and then placing any bit of paving/ brick lying round my garden and putting sand and gravelly stones around it. i like it like that and i don't mind if grass or wild things grow between the paving. it is purely to minimise mud. i want to create an outside studio in my garden to do some painting etc.
quite groundbreakingly, i am all alone at home. my other half has taken all the kids including baby to woodland farm at shooters hill to a open day. yipppeeee. i am terrified they are going to come back soon and i am drinking up the time alone greedily and getting hiccoughs with the sudden freedom. i might even pass out. cept i don't want to do any housework or any thing. i just want to bathe in being alone with time to call my own. long may it last. i made them a picnic and hopefully they will be gone for hours so that when they get back i might actually be happy to see them.
