Well as the title says really ,Me, I mowed the front lawn then brushed up the debris,weeded the paving slabs and sprayed weed killer on some weeds.
Then weeded the side of the house,strimmered the back garden and on a slope that's hard trust me.
Then while I was down the bottom of the slope notice that the fence needed some modding as the wind have blown some wood off ,out with the cordless drill and some F.O. screws and away to go.
By this time I stopped for a coffee and a natter to the next door neighbour also to admire my handy work.
Just to get more man points from the Mrs I hung the washing out.
So when the Mrs returns home she'll see the differance.

Wot you done?

Rain and the cold stopped me getting out and doing all the things that need doing.
But it did mean I could listen to the cricket and then watch the ELMS without the wife moaning!

Well, If yesterday evening counts...

I've bark mulched/weeded the front garden, spread 40T of gravel over the parking area/pathways/ mowed the lawns, fitted an outside tap, concreted the washing line base in and washed the cars.

Ready for a sit down now.

All because a fergie I was hoping to view and buy had been sold yesterday evening - so thought I'd make the most of my free day off!

Mowed the lawn and now watching a couple of deer wondering through (followed by a rather large fox)

Lots of rabbits and a nice sunset.

Oh, and a glass of cold vino..... wink

Laid 20 sleeper, 8m of paving, rotivated and taken a lot of stone to the tip. Oh and oiled the table/chairs. Hopefully next week we get turf for the first time in 2 years. From a jungle to almost a finished garden, it has been hard work but worth it.

30m of borders to plant next. I need a crash course in plants and flowers.
