I haven’t been at my desk, I’ve been toiling in the garden. I say toiling because it was clearing and preparing and planning…not my favourite part. But, to reward myself (think carrot and long stick!), I ordered some new goodies, and they arrived yesterday. Now sitting patiently on the desk. It won’t be long, I’ve gotta itch!
Sorry but not sorry about the flare of sunshine - delicious isn’t it! My desk is on wheels against a door that gives access to what will be a nice patio area (that’s what the planning part of the weekend was about). Well, the desk had been rolled out of the way and of course, things standing on it started to fall. Oh to be organised. The very foreground shows an MDF thingy that managed to fall off its little shelf and break. Lucky I hadn’t yet decorated it, huh. In turn, it knocked the rack of lovely blending brushes over, but nothing worse happened. I took the photo, picked the brushes up and then distracted myself with coffee. Then the diary reminded me I have a 10am today, so I must away to dress and gather papers. Gosh, ain’t life glamorous! Leave a link to your desk for me, I shall need a distraction when I get back! Thank you very much!
It was indeed a fabulous weekend of sunshine - I am only just starting the chocolate but I'll get there.... I hope your planning for your patio area comes to fruition soon and you'll share with us. Shame about things falling and breaking when you moved your desk.. you need a little fence round the edges! Happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely big word stamps that I see on your desk. I am glad that only brushes fell when you moved your desk. We couldn’t move mine, and shan’t until we move from here! LOL. I look forward to your visit. Happy WOYWW! I am finally up the list instead of last! I had to get up in the middle of the night though to do it! #3
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t this gorgeous weather alter our moods?....or could it be all the celebrating? 😉 hope the 10 o’clock goes well and you can get back to the fun in life.

You're right the weather has been lovely but I think Easter is a bit later this year otherwise it might have come when we had the last lot of snow. The park by us has been very busy which was nice to see though it's even better now as the children are back at school and we can walk the dogs in peace Lol! I know I need to get out in the garden but not really got going with it yet so well done you. Hope we get chance to see your hard work out there. Have a very happy woyww. Hugs, Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteIt has been a fabulous weekend as far as the weather goes Julia. I do hope you manage to mend your MDF piece. I am sure the patio are will be lovely when it is done. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #10

Glad you’re enjoying the sunshine Julia. The weather broke all the ‘It must rain on bank holidays’ regulations this weekend, didn’t it!

So lovely to enjoy some sunshine, make the most of it while we have it! I am so distracted at the moment sorting out problems with defective battery, thinking about what craft stash I am taking away this year, I seem to be doing everything, but nothing is getting done! Have a great week x Angela #13
ReplyDeleteTrust me not to go away for the weekend and the weather turn out so nice. Good job we have a nice area to sit in at the back at home. It's lovely to sit in some sunshine and listen to the birds tweeting and feel the sun on your face
ReplyDeleteHope y0u can repair your broken piece and finish it off in good style.
Hugs, neet 2 xx

With the lovely weather (over here in the Netherlands too!) I wish I had a little garden to plan a 'patio' - the sunshine is inspiring! I love the view on your desk, the knocked over brushes... so you! Have a lovely week Julia! Hug from Holland. Marit #4
ReplyDeleteYep I've been toiling everyday too, bit by bit is what I manage. I love rays of sunshine. Well I am back, cant wait to see what you achieve.
ReplyDeleteDont you hate when things fall over, creates such a mess and taking time out of our joyful day

Happy Belated WOYWW. The latest sunshine has been wonderful, but still chilly in Pembrokeshire. With crochet, I am fine actually doing the stitches, but it just where I am meant to 'insert' the hook each time that gets me confused and then a square turns into a strange curve! Ali x #16
