Alternating hot sunny spells and cooler cloudy moments today.
I made an early start and was in town just after 10.00 hoping to beat the queues at Lidl, which I did though as I left the shop people were already having to wait outside. My main reason for going into town was to visit a shoe shop that I'd found which stocks Wider Fit shoes in the hope that I could find out exactly which size my feet are. That way I could order from their catalogue even if the shop didn't have anything I liked. Unfortunately my feet are not only very wide but they are a half size which Wider Fit don't do. The shop lady tried very hard to find shoes to fit me but with no success. However when I jokingly mentioned that maybe I would have to save up and get made to measure shoes she said there is a bespoke shoe maker in Machynlleth. Here is the website but .... big gulp, it would cost around £700 for a pair of short lace up boots. Let's see how long I can manage with flip-flops and crocs. Incidentally I saw a pair of Crocs in the Oxfam shop and they were priced at £20. For second hand plastic shoes!
One thing I did buy in another charity shop was this glass light shade for the toilet. There was another one which was exactly what I'd been thinking of, a bit bigger with frosted glass in a tulip shape. But the glass was very thick and extremly heavy and I thought it would drag on the wires. This one will do, it has a bit of a Victorian vibe to go with the patterned floor tiles and roll top wall tiles and at £1 it won't be a loss if I find something I like better.
Back home I levelled up the end hedge and began trimming down the hedge that runs down the side of the garden. Using my string method to get a line I found that the section I was working on could come down even further than I had cut it last year so there were some thick branches to cut through. While I worked I began thinking about the height of the hedge and I may have found a way of reducing some of the hedge without compromising our privacy. I'll start at the far end and go down bit by bit until I find the right level.
A bigger hooray, another dolphin was having some fun leaping out of the water and splashing exuberantly.
Finally, I was talking to Peter about the local helicopter and in my search to find which garden it lands in I found this video from 2016.
