Well i've been sat in the garden respecting the isolation, as expected. im enjoying the time alone, but some think its starting to have an effect on me, , they ask am i ok. ofcourse i am, , what do you do with your spare time now John. my reply, " not to much, the 58 glass panes on the greenhouse look like they need a wash, i could do with painting all the 71 feather edged lats on the fence. now i'm wondering how to pressure wash 1, 682 block paving bricks, without touching the 362 contrasting black bricks. but i'm ok with the lockdown, pmsl better than twiddling my thumbs together. now how many nails were holding that fence together? IM OK.

I was talking to an ant earlier. He kept trying to walk on the bit of bench I was painting (my husband thinks I've lost it! )
by (1.9k points)
I understand you chatting to your ant, , the ones in my garden are having it right hard with the sun out, , poor things were brown ants a month ago, now their all got very heavy suntan, bright red, must be burning them so bad, so earlier i got out there with a few cotton buds and sun cream, but the ungrateful devils set about me, please tell me WHY !.
