Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

The balcony this afternoon:

Boyfriend and I hired a car this morning for a couple of hours and went to Rushfields to get a few pots and compost to finish this baby off. (And have lunch in their very nice cafe, of course.) All plants are in their final homes, now, although I have a few spaces for small pots which I may sow up with more herbs or salad leaves. You can't have enough of either.

I'm so chuffed with how the tom plants along the window have grown. One of them has a couple of flowers out already, so the tomatoes themselves won't be too far behind. Woo!

In other news, I FINISHED THIS PAIR OF SOCKS:

Another that has taken nine months or something. Rubbish. But they are done and they are awesome. The yarn was a birthday pressie and hand-dyed by the lovely Pie. The girl has patience, I tell ya. I'm now desperately trying to finish Boyf's cardi, which, surprise, surprise, I started over a year ago. It will get done! It will! I'll probably cast on a pair of socks to take on Wednesdays, though, as I'm self-sabotaging like that.
