A view up my back passage; new garden shelving to the left of the photo [click to embiggen]
It's been a real "recovery day" today, dear reader.
I finally turned in at 4am after our fantabulosa Eurovision party last night [more on that later, no doubt]!
I'm inevitably the "last man standing" after any such do - and the guests departed (or had gone to bed; the boys from Essex were staying over) by 2am - but after all that (and after clearing the entire buffet and assorted detritus such as used plates, plastic cups et al into the bins) I love a chance to enjoy the silence for a while.
It has, however, been a heavy week of slog - in the house and in the garden - so [despite having my sleep disturbed by the stupid, yapping Pomeranian dog that our delightful neighbours - instead of walking the fucking thing - shut out in their garden every morning at around 7am] I really needed a good rest, and slept in until almost midday. Despite having arisen, had coffee and a few fags, I was still weary - so (unaccustomed as I am to doing so) I went to bed again...for another two hours!
Hey ho. I had no plans, other than taking down the flags and bunting from the party anyhow...
I think a little "Sunday Music" from our "house band" is in order:
It's not like me to play anything by that "culture-leech" GaGa, but since I don't even know the original, and the PMJ ladies do such a great job of this - and it's the last knockings before I return to work tomorrow - I forgive myself!
Are we related???? I turned in about a half hour before you. I'll never be a morning person...and what a lovely toe tapping selection from the "jukebox"
ReplyDeleteNo mention of Euro vision here again...it's must have been a low-key season. I heard not a word from any Euro friends even talk of it this year.
And I meant to add...LOVE the addition of the level shelves. You can see more...not to mention add more I assume. It's all looking so lovely up your passage.
DeleteEurovision is never "low-key", dear. It's the biggest, most OTT music festival in the world! Americans just don't understand it (probably because, like Trump, most people couldn't even point to any of the participating countries on a map).
DeleteI'm extremely pleased with those shelves! It's created so much space at ground level (and of course, that means we can fit in more plants 😂). Jx
Fab party and a well needed recovery day today; the garden is looking fab.
ReplyDeletePMJ are the perfect soundtrack for a doing nothing day.
Postmodern Jukebox is perfect for any day... Jx
DeleteAnother great selection from Postmodern Jukebox. Those shelves are an excellent addition to your back passage! It looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the shelving - it's made a huge difference! Jx
