Keith and I went out into the garden at about 10am and managed to get rid of all the branches from the pruning we'd done. We filled the garden bin but put some of the thicker branches onto a pile for the little insects to use as a home. Buoyed up by the beautiful weather, we then went to the tip with Mike's old mattress and some other rubbish, but only put two small items into the landfill skip, which I was very pleased about!
Back home we decided to cut the lawn and what a difference it made! I love this time of the year when everything is so new and all the daffodil bulbs I planted last year are now gorgeous flowers, and really cheer up the garden!
There was not much in the house we fancied for lunch, so Sophie and I decided to have a treat and go to McDonald's in Kettering. We took a bag of Tassimo pods to the shop in Broughton on the way and queued up at the drive-thru as neither of us was in any fit state to get out of the car! We enjoyed our lunch in the car park and then headed home - thankfully, the road has now re-opened!
In the afternoon I decided to make a little walkway through our small gravel garden and Keith and I moved the bench seat to another place in the garden. It will make it much easier for us to walk through as the Jasmine does tend to get hold of you as you walk past!

I can't wait to fill the tubs with flowers and get some colour into the garden!
After all the work in the garden, Sophie and I had a face mask and then I had a long soak in the bath. We met in the kitchen at 6pm for Scrabble and Prosecco, and this evening I thrashed Sophie. In fairness, she did have some terrible tiles which were mostly vowels, so she did well to get 350 points!
After a very simple but delicious dinner of Piri Piri chicken, we watched a film called Don't Look Up about a comet on track to wipe out Earth. It was a bit silly, but enjoyable nonetheless!
