This evening has been absolutely lovely; just what I needed after a rather busy day. I got home first but the others arrived not long after. [livejournal.com profile] tamarillow and I shared a pot of tea and then we went out into the garden.

We tidied and pruned a little (the landlords are probably coming around tomorrow), extended the flowerbed in a curve so it meets up with the pipes going up the bank, dug in compost and planted a new geranium (probably dark purple) and sun-loving succulents in that new space, added another pipe to the line and planted a fuschia above it. I took the grass back to the edge of the concrete and [livejournal.com profile] maudlinrose took out the bit of gorse that neither [livejournal.com profile] tamarillow nor I could reach. Then we hosed down the now rather grubby concrete and took out the lounge suite.

We had planned to tidy the lounge and do dishes, but that didn't happen. Instead, we pulled out a bag of 100 tea light candles, put them around the edge of the concrete and ate our dinner on our lounge suite outside in the light of dozens of tea light candles, listening to Il Divo through my open window and telling a story.

My soul feels refreshed.
