Hey Siri what day is it today?
Siri never answered, she's too depressed.
I've cleaned out drawers and cupboards this morning and I've thrown away
A bin bag of out if date cooking stuff, old magazines, tons of old clothes, and six pairs of underpants with holes in the gussets!
Victoria Wood would have cut them down for pan scrubs
Every gusset a memory!!!
Animal Helper Pat , has been busy in her greenhouse and a 20£ Donation to Christian Aid has bought me a load of bedding plants for the garden.
They arrived today and filled the top of the kitchen wall ready for watering.
The bulldogs mooched in the garden as I worked
Apart from a few phone calls and later Zoom meets with friends.
It's a slow day.
I've agreed to overtime on Friday, it will pay for Winnie's recent vet bills

Your day sounds quite a satisfying one really. Old underpants were always kept for dusters and car cloths, soft and absorbant, I cleaned the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteLove Winnie in amongst the Alliums. I'm at the ancestral home pottering in the garden...its been colder than a witches fit in a metal brassiere.
ReplyDeleteUnderpants make fantastic car polishing cloths.
ReplyDeleteOn or off?
DeleteIf that's the way you polish your car then on might be best.
DeleteUsually once a year, or occasionally once every two years, I chuck all my socks and pants, and replace them with new. It's not expensive, and has a remarkably satisfying effect on one's life. Try it. About a dozen of each should do!
ReplyDeleteloverly flowers. and good on you for cleaning away old junk.
ReplyDeleteLast thing I want to do is scrub my dishes with old underwear. Somethings just need to be thrown away.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you didn't post a picture of the old underpants. I thought it was going to be a song beginning something like "Nine Green Bottles".
ReplyDeleteSix pairs of underpants hanging on the line
I found three more and then there were nine
One pair for Jason, another for The Boffin
Two for Trendy Carol who's always coughin'
A pair for Neighbour John to clean his wellies
And four - exotic handkerchiefs for lovely Mrs Trellis.
This did make me smile x
DeleteBrlliant rhyme/song from YP John. Healthy looking bedding plants - watch out for frosts. Your day of doing jobs make me feel ashamed - I have done little or nothing other than empty the dishwasher and restack it.
ReplyDeleteMay your gussets always remain firm and strong! (I'm stealing the Siri line.)
ReplyDeleteYou might have made those underpants into face-masks to sell, though you might have had to disguise their origin..
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure you already had thought if it.
Winnie sitting in that flower bed with her face enjoying the sunshine just gave me the boost I need this morning across the Pond. John, all that clearing/cleaning out goes along with your beautiful new life in your cottage in the most charming village. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWonderful flowers, man. Thank God for Spring. I love it! 💙💛🖤🧡💜💚🤍🤎
ReplyDeleteIs that Dorothy wondering at what has happened to her view over the kitchen garden wall? It's suddenly a beautiful garden! Love Winnie enjoying the sunshine surrounded by the Dr. Seuss looking alliums.
ReplyDeleteOh, do say you put the magazines and clothes in for recycling. Our current rules make donating impossible but the recycling and trash are still being picked up.
Enjoy your day off!
Hugs!
It was going swimmingly until half an hour ago
DeleteGorgeous plants and gorgeous dogs :-). I chuck worn out pants too (shocking I know but it would just feel odd with my pants being exposed to scrutiny). I've agreed to overtime on Sunday as it all helps due to the fact my self-employed hubby cannot work at the moment. I suppose at least working for the NHS I'm still working and harder than ever in the current climate.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs have just smashed my tv ( see tomorrow's blog) my overtime will have to pay for that
DeleteOh good grief! What a right pain and the faff of getting a new one at the present time too.
Deletewe still can't go to nurseries and for the first time ever, i didn't start seeds. i need plants like yours!
ReplyDeleteThe Welsh nurseries are open from Monday
DeleteAwww flowers, still too cold here.
ReplyDeleteOld underwear, I getting really good at tossing them out now. Before underwear used to get tenured with me.
Not that anyone but me will see them lol
DeleteYou could zoom them John x
DeleteIf you'd kept them for cleaning, you'd only have answered the door holding a pair, or been polishing a window just as someone decided to look in. Best got rid of!
ReplyDeleteI have binned the lot
DeleteFeels good to get rid of the old and bring in the new, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI've been doing that for a while
DeleteI think Mrs Gusset used to be my history teacher.
ReplyDeleteMrs gusset as EVRYONES history teacher
DeleteThere's nothing better than spring cleaning!
ReplyDeleteSex?
DeleteUm... Nope. There's NOTHING better than spring cleaning.
DeleteTime for new undies, new flowers, and new memories.
ReplyDeleteI've just bought the under crackers on line
DeleteLove the photo with the red flower.
ReplyDeleteHinting at colour to come
DeleteRed Pants!x
DeleteYou have a lovely garden and it is about to get even lovelier with the addition of those new plants and flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt always looks at its best in may
DeleteEvery gusset a memory or every hole a memory?
ReplyDeleteTrust you lol
DeleteShe grows some lovely plants! Oh, to have a greenhouse! I use my son's old socks to dust with. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteShe does her fingers are green throughband through
DeleteThat picture of Winnie, god love her. Your garden is lovely, wish I had the motivation to garden; sadly at the moment it is lacking.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Nothing like a good clean out, your garden looks lovely, nice to be of to an early start with new plantings the longer you will enjoy them into the summer when you can sit and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Siri is depressed. She can't escape from omnipotence and the fingering of old gussets.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the word GUSSET. I had heard it before but, since it is not commonly used here, I didn't know what it meant. Crotch reinforcement! HA. I'm going to have to figure out how to use that one strategically.
