Bit of Friday night gardening.
Messing around on Snapchat.
Going to the multi faith event at the Finsbury Park mosque in the evening. Speeches followed by everyone breaking fast together at a huge long tablecloth on the road. Delicious curry, loads of fruit and so many dates. Plus a funny woman to chat to and keep me company.
The Nova Joy plant has flowered! New beautiful joy here we come!
Sitting in the garden, picking weeds with Lauren.
Then chatting to her for quite a while. Looking up Russian dating sites, talking about garden plans (mostly solar powered fairy lights). It was exactly what I needed.
Cutting the grass.
Decaf iced coffee in the sun at Blighty, reading my book.
Beautiful clouds.
Being out in the garden. Putting my sunflowers outside and planting up some runner beans. Hanging my washing on the line.
The drumming at the park.
That smell of summer. Having the windows wide open. Feeling the warmth of the sun. Lying in the park reading my book. It was a good day. It was a calm and peaceful day.
Going to the White Cube. That place is so damn shiny and reflective. I love it. Also the room with all the semi reflective glass rooms – so good!
Going for a walk through the little park and sitting by the pond for a while, watching the slow tadpole prosession. I felt like I couldn’t get enough of smells of the plants into my lungs. And there was a nice man who stopped too see if I was okay.
Coming back and doing some gardening. To think I almost stayed in bed. It turned out to be a really lovely afternoon.
Oh and then Matt and I watched a brilliant volcano documentary with a hilarious voiceover. Plus ice cream.
Even more sunflowers popping up.
Coffee in the sun with Jo. I needed hugs and sympathy after last night.
Walking around Gillespie Park. The bit I haven’t been to before. Flowers and bees and beautiful things. 🐝🌺🌼🌷🌻
Two of my sunflower seeds are sprouting! I’m so happy!
The free plant giveaway by the cute community group. Got me a chilli plant and some salad leaves.
The delicious food at Holly and Al’s BBQ. Of course.
Going and buying a box full of plants and seeds for the garden. Green just makes me so happy.
Getting my fingers in the dirt, on my own, planting them in.
Clean white sheets. I forget how much I love them.
Driving the biggest van for the smallest amount of stuff. With Jonny, obvs.
The robin came back into the garden. It’s so brave. And she ate the worms Lauren gave her.
Multi-housemate gardening.
Realising I had a whole heap of reasons to be happy today. Feeling really calm and happy. No housemates, no real day plans, being organised and peaceful. Getting my fingers in the dirt again.
Going to visit Holly and Al’s new flat. It’s beautiful. And Al telling funny, long stories about making the perfect coffee.
Alec and Ciaran at Doug’s party. Those two make me laugh heaps. HEAPS.
