Perfect Day

Today has been a perfect 'end of September' day.   It has been sunny, still and warm - not a cloud in the sky all day.   There was plenty of market to look round (our market stall holders mostly only come when the weather is right - apart from the fruit and veg men, the fish men and the cheese man.)

Friend W and I went to usual restaurant but found that the 'posh' bit where we usually treat ourselves on Fridays was fully booked because there was a Fashion Show.   So we went in the cafe instead.   W had gammon, egg, chips and pineapple and I had sausage, onion gravy and mash.   All was delicious. 

When I got home Tess had been on her Pet Pals walk so there was no need to take her.   This left me to do what I was determind to get done before the weather cooled down.  I had bought three large terra cotta pots and a variety of bulbs.   I potted up a pot of miniature narcissus, one of tete a tete daffodils and one of iris reticulata.   I gravelled the top of the pots with horticultural grit and they are now standing on the patio looking rather nice.   Then I swept the patio well (it needed it), watered the pots and came in, put my feet up for an hour for a rest and now feel very satisfied with my day's work.   Now to take Tess for a short walk.
