A Warning!
Just be careful because people are going crazy from being in lock down!
Actually I've just been talking about this with the microwave and toaster, while drinking coffee! All of us agreed that things are getting bad.
I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant.
In the end the iron calmed me down as she said everything will be fine, no situation is too pressing.
The hoover was very unsympathetic... told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over!
The toilet looked a bit flushed when I asked its opinion and didn’t say anything but the door knob told me to get a grip.
The front door said I was unhinged and so the curtains told me to ........yes, you guessed it .....pull myself together !😝

SADLY ISOLATED
DESERTED
…….but there's nobody coming to sit on them 😟
At the far end of the garden I have been digging my vegetable patch (a bit late) but I can't get the plants to put in it and I have been late planting seeds 😟
And the birds.... the birds...…..
Last year a family of robins grew up here.
This year NOTHING !
Last year a family of bluetits occupied this box.
This year....NOTHING !
Don't imagine there would be many birds using this "Hotel" other than as a garden "Buffet". LadyBIRDS perhaps ?
There were certainly lots of other creepy crawlies so I didn't investigate too closely.
and last summer a swarm of Bumble bees took over this little house. I suppose they chose the "posh" one because they had a queen.
This year they have "BUZZED OFF"
Feeling sadly grumpy I went round to the front garden where a rampant Pampas Grass was taking over the place. So I took my chagrin out on that
BEFORE
AFTER
But things seemed to just get worse as the garden has now became "Out of Bounds".
The Pandemic has at last reached Sunny Bank.
I shall just have to RAMP UP my efforts to get the garden back to normal.

There's a sad air about the garden just at the moment. A short time ago I brought the garden table and chairs out and placed them on the patio (It's the old yard really) It's always lovely to sit outside with family or friends and chat over a coffee or tea with biscuits or a piece of cake.
