It’s been gloriously sunny this weekend. No excuses for not getting on with our jobs. I thought it was time I actually stopped procrastinating and got on with what needed to be done. Amazing what can be achieved when you stop procrastinating and just get on with it.
OK I admit it, I’ve been taking therapy from the not so intimidating Debbie’s blog on being organised and overcoming procrastination. Who cares, the important thing is that things get done and I can rest easy with the satisfaction of completed jobs.
First up, you’ll remember that back in June, yes that’s 3 months ago, I was busy with the winter gorse harvest. Don’t remember? Check it out here. Oh, and here too! Hmm, seems this gorse harvest started back in May. That makes it 4 months to completion. Well it has been winter and not great burning possibilities. To be honest though the clearing up is just not so much fun, I much prefer attacking and cutting back the darn gorse bushes in the first place. Never mind, I’m pleased to report that this weekend I had two burning sessions and got rid of all the remaining gorse debris.
Tada! Left and right views. Still plenty of gorse to clear but an improvement nevertheless
Tada, tada! The planter is now filled and planted has started
We’ve yet to get a clematis and still pondering about other plants. But we’re done for the moment. Only another few tons of soil to use now!
Oh I do do feel satisfied – procrastination challenge for October complete!
A very professional looking job. I like the rustic look of the old sleepers which should make an effective contrast for the delicate grasses dancing in the breeze and softening the top edge. I love grasses, the foliage and the seed heads each have their own beauty.
I do agree with you about procrastination. There are some jobs that are so hard to actually start, all the housework gets done first and then oops there isn’t enough time! I love making lists so when I really don’t want to start a job I break it right down and write a long list on my whiteboard in the kitchen so that I can have the satisfaction of crossing bits off. And then the sense of achievement when the job is finally done ! Better stop sitting on the pc and see if I have enough time to lay the new carpet before going to work.
Great job. . . it looks wonderful! Not only did you finish, but you finished EARLY! So now you can relax for a few weeks before the November challenge starts!
You did a great job! And doesn’t it feel good to get that project out of the way and off your back? I love that feeling…. makes me wonder why I procrastinate in the first place… but, alas, I do!!! lol
Hiya!! A week of full on celebrations had to end and here I am checking in finally on my favourite people. That trellisy thing look gorgeous!! Totally stunning, your plants will thrive with the full ons sunshine. Good job Mrs T!! x
Nice job. That looks like back breaking work.
Congratulations and looking fab! We’ve used some old railway sleepers at our place too and they really do give such a natural, rustic feel. The grasses are fabulous too – I just love to watch them ripple in the wind like waves.
