A good tick-list today

Physio appt.  Tick.  I was told my toe was much stronger which showed I had diligently done the exercises. Too true I had.  I need to walk and drive without pain.

Charity shop visit to give them some of Keith's older and less desirable books.  Tick.

Rehoming both the strollers at another Charity shop.  Tick.

Shopping done in Aldi.  Within budget.  Tick.

Shopping done in Tesco.  Within budget.  Tick.  I have pretty well got food for me and the cats for a fortnight, bearing in mind I have stuff in freezer and store cupboard.  I had £6.50 in Tesco vouchers, so used them.

Tinned stuff I bought for Keith (and I don't need or like) taken to the Food Bank in Tesco.  Hope someone likes Sardines . . .  Tick. 

A leisurely visit to the Llandod Museum.  The girl who was in reception came up and we had a lovely chat.  However, bad news for the Museum as they have to move displays to upstairs only, and the Library is going downstairs . . .  The Geology cabinets will suffer, and sadly also the Kilvert Corner.  It looks like they will just be keeping his desk, chair and writing slope, with a couple of photos of him.  So Ragged Robin, PLEASE visit soon, whilst all the other collection from the Kilvert Society is on display.  After this the water colours and writings from other - more distant - family members will go to the Archives to be kept safe.  

This afternoon I have been pottering in the garden.  I got the mattock and spade out and excavated a suitable size hole for Scarborough Fair.  She's nicely tucked in now and looks really pretty.  Whilst I was at it I planted a Rose Campion next to her, and the White Cranesbill on the other side - this was the one which I thought had turned out to be a Johnson's Blue, but I'd overlooked it amongst the plants to be planted.

I had a natter with one of the farmers up the hill and prevailed upon him to move a clematis for me, which was too heavy for me to heave far as in a big ceramic pot.  It's one that didn't thrive where it was before and kept getting nobbled by the slugs.  Now it is 6 feet tall and has just put out some buds (it's normally a spring flowering one).  I'm pleased with that.

Waiting for Gabby to arrive, and I thought Danny was coming here tonight too but no sign of him and so perhaps he's changed his mind and will travel up to Aber from Carms tomorrow.  He's not very good at communication, bless him.  He turned up shortly after my writing that!

I have been listening to Sarum all day (last hour now) and had better put my phone on to charge.  See you all Friday . . .
