I should have gone out sooner

Today was one of those days when I was tired and really flagging by early afternoon. I really wanted to either curl up and go to sleep, or do something physical, but I really needed to get some work finished so instead I was forced to spend hours at the computer. As a result I kept myself going with at least one extra cup of coffee plus about half a packet of biscuits! Something I would never normally do, I generally stick to just a couple at the most. Once I was finally free I headed out into the last of the afternoon sunshine and immediately felt wide awake! Should have gone out sooner and I wouldn’t have needed the coffee or biscuits. At least I did manage to plant some new bulbs so I will have cheery faces to look forward to in spring : ) All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2022.

I have been looking for some of these for a couple of years but didn't find any, now at last I found some bulbs and have planted them!

I think the sun came out for 10 seconds late in the afternoon, temperature never got above 14°C.

I hardly leave the house these days. My going out would mean taking strolls in the garden

Those flowers are so pretty. I was going to have an extra cup as well but decided not to, probably that was the best choice.

We just got home after hours at the doctor's office and I need a nap. Pretty is already asleep in her room. I hope you enjoy your night.
