swings and swings

I phoned my bank to give them advanced notice that I'm spending money at a rate way more ridiculously than I normally do. I don't want for them to stop my card in a panic. But it turns out there's no system for people who want to warn of high spending. They will just contact me if it flags with the fraud team that my usual withdrawal of £20 a time has suddenly repeatedly got an extra 0 on. It's all fine tho. I even got an unexpected small tax rebate including - wait for it - a repayment supplement of 2 whole pence. So swings and swings. In fact, speaking of swings I've just ordered this swinging bench, ready for the space that is going to be created in our secret garden. Once we have an awesome garden I'm hoping I'll invite friends over for BBQs, how ace will that be? :)

It's a beautiful day. I'm not normally out in the garden before 8am, but was out to check there was nothing untoward out there before my digging folk arrive. Maybe once it's all done I'll go and breakfast out there. I forget that it's one of my favourite times of day for being outside. Hearing the birds, absorbing the potential of a day. Hope you feel it too :)

... "can't make an omelette without breaking eggs" and "everything works out in the end": keep repeating this to myself. As happens, of course, but I forget, it's taking much longer and far more materials than anticipated. (both of which means much extra cost of course). Tempted to get down about it, but there just isn't time, gotta go and draw out another £200...
