Read the small print,..normally i do but not this time,..the Small Green House/Mini Green House measurements in big bold writing differed from the small print measurements,..the difference was measurements of the inside,..and measurements of the outside,..mmmm didn't think of that did i lol,..luckily i can adjust the paving slabs to fit the base,..progress made today seeing i managed to get through page nine of the Instructions Manual,..there are 20 pages,..i wonder do other people do as i do,..i tend to assemble as if it were a Jigsaw and not necessarily read the instructions unless i am bewildered and something doesn't seem to fit?

Some Helleborus Shots,..there is another Helleborus about to bloom and looks like it will be a red,..fingers crossed.

Aching muscles tonight,..though satisfied with the amount of work i managed today and yesterday,..i was thinking of having a wooden base in the new small greenhouse,..discarded that idea and set my mind on Pavement Slabs and set off to the hardware store to see did they invent lightweight slabs,..nope didn't find any,..maybe they don't exist,..so asked about the slabs on display,..big 2ftx2ft and 3 inches deep,..boy are they heavy,..it was suggested that staff would cart them to my car,..then i was in a predicament as to how i would remove them from the car through the house and into the garden,..no way,..went home empty handed.

Then it dawned on me,..why not remove some slabs from under my bedroom window and move them to where the greenhouse was to go,..so with the help of a Pick i removed some,..duck walked them half the way and cartwheeled them the remainder,..moving heavy terracotta pots which were full of soil and plants out of my way,..oh boy are those slabs heavy,..so the muscle aches are aches of satisfaction,..that's one way of looking at them lol.

Some bird images which most were taken through the glass window,..except for the Terns.
