some gardening

garden (by jaspertandy)

We’re trying to prepare the garden for some new grass. There’s a pretty big plant-bed that takes up about a third of the width of the garden for the whole length of the lawn. I’m not against plant-beds, but I’d prefer more space/less maintenance/better play environment for Sudo, so that’s what we’re doing. The bushes, trees and shrubs planted therein were quite large and well-established, and I can’t find my axe, so I’ve been bested for the day.

I need to find a decent way to remove stumps. Anyone has any ideas, hit me up.

Been trying all sorts of ways to tie my hair up with my hair. So far, this is my favourite.

What a fucking riveting life I lead.

I’ve wanted to take those top two for ages. With the shutters down, The Hub on Lower Shirley High Street looks so simple and distraction free. Problem is, I’m usually in a hurry to get to the train station when I go past at the right time.

Same with that house, really. I missed the decent opportunity – there’s way less stuff out there now than there was before, but it still looks pretty cool, I think.

Sudo is now 16.5 weeks, and he’s changed so much. He’s super clever, and so energetic. Walking is much better, interaction with other dogs is greatly improved, and house training is about 95% success. I almost understand why people have children – such a sense of satisfaction watching them learn behaviour you want them to adopt.

Anyway, we’re now playing in the garden and he loves it. It tires him out, too, which means that we love it!

stair porn-ish of my very own

It’s no secret that I love stairs. The staircase in our house was one of the main selling points for me. I love painted older style wood. The whole house has a cool Edwardian feel to it, which I totally get on with. I’m looking forward to doing improvements, whilst keeping the traditional spirit in-tact.

With that in mind, I wanted to take some high-key interior shots of some of the parts of the house I like most. I really need a wider lens for this, but 24(36)mm will have to do for now. This is the top of our stairs, from each end.

I don’t really love lampshade. It’s pretty hideous.

I love going to the laundrette, unless people are being inconsiderate. It reminds me of the past, all those cool machines.
