I need to go back to work for a rest!

My lawn's a complete mess so I brought a scarifier from Aldi on one of their specialbuys, plus a large box of grass seed from Homebase this morning in the hope of getting some new growth to make it look beter. I'd only done around 2/3rds before I had to stop due to having run out of black plastic sacks to put the grass/moss/weed debris in (there's 9 full bags to go to the recycling centre tomorrow!) and more grass seed is also needed.

My lawns are full of moss too, and walking down the road it seems general. Put down some weed/feed after mowing yesterday and then it rained, so probable a wasted effort.

Oh yes and the exercises I was given by the doctor yesterday

Inaction isn't really any good for a bad back, I can only speak about my own back but when it's gone into a spasm/pain/spasm cycle I've generally hit it with serious pain relief and tried to move around as much as possible. IMHO it's far better to take 'heavy' pain relief for a short time than to take 'middlin' tablets for ages........................less chance of getting 'hooked' on em.

Of course everyone is different and may have different problems but my back has had me laying on the the floor crying with pain

One wonderful picture! Thank you.

Fabulous shot

Gorgeous picture.

I did not take the picture. I found it on Bing images by searching for "Owl perching on spade". I presume because it is freely available on Bing, that I could use it here.

Piglet is not good with cameras.

Aren't owls supposed to be night birds?

Depends on the owl. Northern Hawk Owl, Burrowing Owl, and Marsh Owl can be diurnal.

Left home about 11.30, walked into town for lunch at a Turkish restaurant, nipped into a kitchen shop and a shop which sells vegetarian Indian snacks. Now relaxing with a cold drink, a lovely day and really enjoyed the long walks.

Costa Adeje Tenerife is a lovely place,but my oh my people are small.

Quiet ish day. The paint on my passenger side front pillar (car) has bubbled a bit with age and isn't 'adhered' to the metal. The car is 17 years old. Sanded it off and smoothed it out and have re-painted it. Turned out rather better than expected. Lots of light coats of primer, metallic paint, then lacquer. Let it dry and a bit of G3 cutting compound to bring out the shine.

Pond is patched and nearly full, soon be time to see if 1) the patch worked and 2) there are no more leaks.
