I'm sure he'll have a great time @Grinchy! It's bound to be weird at first, but you'll start to get used to the 'new normal'

He is studying musical theatre, a degree course of 3 years, we know he will do well, and we will miss him, but i know he will have a ball,1

Hi @leecal - my property has decking to two sides. There was obviously quite a bit of decking left over so some raised beds were made. Might that be an idea? I have flowers, herbs & veg in mine. I found some smaller offcuts left in the shed, & turned these into 3 small containers for alpine plants, & a small 2 step plant stand.My joiner really wants to re-do my decking; he says it would look so much nicer (& bigger) if laid diagonally. He's shown me some great photos of the work he's done, doing 'things' diagonally from decking to paving. My decking hasn't got enough supports underneath unfortunately (I've gone through a step already, which he was able to fix), so it will need replacing, but can't afford this as yet.

@chiarieds sounds like a good idea, I have quite a few nine foot lengths left over and I’ve made some shelving around the arid border to display pots on already.
I think a planter or two or two would look good as you say. Or a trug. Diagonal boarding does look good I must say. My joists were made from ordinary fence posts laid on concrete and they rotted but the decking itself is still fine.2 -
@leecal - sounds like you've already worked out how to use the surplus decking. My joists (didn't know the correct word for it) are of pre-treated timber, but too widely spaced apart, so my decking is 'bouncy' in places!At least you've got good decking timber which you can put to good use. Another week or so's work is all you'll need....

Yes it went well @Ross_Scope, I also have some spare timber left over so I expect to be making some more hits and pieces, that’s good for me I really should try to be more active. Thanks for support everyone! ?0

My goal for tomorrow is probably not a goal for most people but a reward, but I will find it hard. I have to go to a restaurant and there will be a stranger (to me) there who is a family member’s new partner. I find it hard meeting new people.
I am semi looking forward to having a nice meal though 1 -
@66Mustang thinking about things beforehand always seems to make things worse, I was told years ago to not prejudge situations like parties, family get togethers etc but to wait and take things as they come. I used to put myself off so much I didn’t go out very often!
Im sure it’ll be great and you do know fifty percent of the people you’ll be meeting after all. Good luck with it ? and have a lovely meal.1 -

That makes a lot of sense, I will try to bear it in mind.
There are actually 6 people going including me and I know all of them but one so should be OK!1 -
