Day 34 shame you can’t get steps for using your arms staining the fence 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

So yeah… painting the fence today… well staining it with decking oil. I’m so knackered after it that I can’t remember this morning 🥴🤭😆 could be a short one….. we decided to start learning Spanish this morning over coffee. There’s a app called Duolingo that says just 5 mins a day can help you learn conversational languages. Maybe that’s 5 mins a day for the rest of your life but we did 20 mins today which says is the “intense” course. It was a good laugh and seems a really easy way to learn!

Craig es un hombre y Julie es una mujer

There’ll be no stopping us… 😆 we’ve been watching The Narcos Mexico series on tv at night so if they say man or woman we’ll no be needin’ the subtitles!! 🤣🤣🤣

So after Spanish lesson we took a family trip to the greenhouse again!! Sweet peas coming on great.

No idea why this is such a crazy angle but I’m guessing it was the only way to get the fence and the dogs in the one pic.

It clouded over pretty early today and was windy so felt a lot colder than the last few days so i thought I’d potter and start staining some of the fence as it’s been looking pretty dry. It’s one of those jobs that you start of like Picasso and end up splatting fence stain all over everything. Craig told me to start on the back of the fence to see what it looked like… he comes out to check progress and yep I’m on the front. Forgot that important fact so the whole fence needs to be done that colour. Which it was gonna be anyway s’pose.

Pups having a lazy day in the sun ☀️ they were looking out at me until I bring out the phone!!

Love that I took pics of every step as if they’d be exciting

Throwing the ball was actually way more fun!

Still….. starting to feel very sorry for myself by now….

Oh my actual god I think it is actually finished!!!!!!

So for those of you who’ve seen our garden this is the smallest fence we have….. Craig is so on his own with the 146 footer 🤣🤣

Boris Johnson has moved back in to Downing St and starts back work tomorrow after his covid-19 illness. Deaths in the last 24 hours were at the lowest since 30th March at “only” 413 people. Said it before but so strange to think that… that’s still 413 people who’ve lost their lives. I think most have us have got used to this new normal. Going back to whatever the real normal is now is going to seem really strange. Craig and I have settled into a nice routine. Yeah we miss going out but we’re enjoying getting loads done. We are so lucky not to have been directly affected by this virus so far.

Had a nice WhatsApp video chat with mum and dad after painting the fence…. dad es un hombre y mum es una mujer …. 🤣🇪🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so dad starts by asking if he can post mum over to us for a week or two of lockdown!!! They’re in good spirits and had calls with all the McGavin side today. He offers to send her second class and he had a fence spray painted machine that he could send with her. See what he did there?!?!?
