Northern Ireland had some great weather this week so definitely it was time for the GARDEN.
We have to be flexible here so when it is good weather we get out and tend to the garden and when it is not so good weather we do inside stuff obviously.
So I was out in the garden every day this week.
Gosh did I work hard?
MON
- I cleaned up those two white PVC sun loungers that sat in our back garden since last summer.
- I lay on that sun lounger and tried to do some work on my laptop but the sun was too bright and so I couldn't see the screen properly so gave up and went inside for a drink.
- Later I lay on that sun lounger and read a short story by Agatha Christie.
- Later I did get up and go in and put in a washing - well it was really too hot to work in the garden on Monday

- I posted about blogging on my blog.
- I lay on that sun lounger and read another short story by Agatha Christie.
- I wrote a blog post based on those sun loungers in the garden for my Wednesday post
- Later I did put in another washing
- Then I did a little ironing - well it was really too hot to work in the garden again on Tuesday
WED
- I searched for some pictures that I needed to make a collage to finish off that blog post about the sun loungers and then posted it.
- I went out to the front garden and did some weeding until I was too hot and tired
First Section was cleared completely of weeds

- Then in the evening I went out to the front garden and did some more weeding and brushing up - well it was a bit cooler and better for working in the garden

HOUSEWORK / FUNWORK
Which one won out this week?
Had to be FUNWORK because the rest of my time spent indoors was spent on
the computer or ipad!
A fun week - Thanks for sharing at the #WWDParty.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about using washing machines and dishwashers is that you really feel like you accomplished something even if you read and lounged around while the machines do their work.
ReplyDeleteVery funny post. :)
Hi there, we lived in Delaware for 3 years a long long time ago and were in New Jersey several times. Thanks for dropping in.
DeleteLots of yard work! My allergies get to me too much so I can't do as much which makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteIreland! I would love to visit. Thank you for linking up to last weeks Friday Favorite. Hope to see you this week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun and productive week! Thanks for linking to #AllAboutYou, hope you can come back on Tuesday

Thanks for sharing your week with us on the Four Seasons Blog Hop!! Hope to see you again this week~ Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
ReplyDeleteI love to get out and work in my yard, although everything I grow is mostly in pots I am always looking for something to plant to get my hands in the dirt. Thanks for coming by and sharing your posts!!!
ReplyDeleteWell look at you and all you accomplished. I end up with a migraine when I'm out in the sun but my sweet hubby loves it. Lucky me. ~Pamela
ReplyDeleteOh Pamela, I' so sorry you can't sit in the sun for long, you should come live over here where it never get's too hot.
DeleteI guess that I am really lucky, because my husband does most of the yard work. I do water my orchids, and check my wisteria (I am trying to get it to climb up a palm tree beside my house, so I go out and cheer it on!) My husband does his own laundry. He also vacuums, and cleans up the kitchen. That leaves more time for me to blog, play golf, play bridge, and read!! In between all that, I create art. Then on the weekends, we go to the beach and sit in the sun!!
ReplyDeleteOh Judie, I love the bit about you cheering it on. Plus what a hubby to let you do all that reading and blogging - oh just realised my hubby lets me read and blog too and helps clean up the kitchen and he does the hoovering but he doesn't do the laundry.
DeleteSounds like a busy week.
ReplyDeleteHi there, yes busy but better to be busy than bored I suppose.
DeleteYou are such an incredibly busy woman!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have the blogging community to share it with.
It seems to make life richer, doesn't it?
Thanks for linking to the letter H.
A+
True Jenny especially with all the lovely blogs to read. Then I have to get busy again with the chores unfortunately.
DeleteYou were busy but had fun too!
ReplyDeleteBusy week ~ hope you had some fun in between ~Great post for W
