What I've been doing this last week

A whole week's gone by and it has flown. I'm knackered. Anyway here's a brief resume of my activities:

1. Dug a whole huge patch of my back garden and removed oodles of Three Cornered Leek which had taken over. It was only AFTER I planted it I read a quote from Alan Titchmarsh which said it was a 'pernicious weed' and never to plant it in a small garden.

2. I have redone the stone border around 90% of my back garden. It's so unusual to be able to garden so early in the year, the weather was fabulous last week and the ground so dry it was almost a pleasure.

3. Spent 3 hours shopping at Cribbs Causeway on Sunday, bought a few gems and joy of joys Anne Harvey has reopened her shop so that was cause for more expense. ( Yes I know it's part of Alexon and NOT an exclusive designer shop but I like their stuff and it FITS)

4. Got sunburned, in April!

5. Emptied the whole of Mother's flat, disposed of the rubbish and cleaned it all out. That feels so good.

6. Saw middle step- daughter and bump last night, not long to go now. She was working, so we just called in briefly on our way past.

7. I have been playing Hayseed Dixie's fab new album. As usual I prefer the original material but they just bring a smile to my face and a bop to my step.

8. Reorganised my entire garage contents ahead of our imminent move; if we're keeping it, it's in a plastic storage box, colour coded and labelled in order of importance. Following this activity I had a trip to our local tip with a whole car load. Spring is for cleaning. Right?

Do you notice anything different reading all this??

I am feeling a lot better and I have the energy (and a little weight loss) to prove it. A trip to Dr Wonderful on Monday will hopefully confirm we are on the right track. It has only taken 15 years.

Wow Jas, you have been very busy! It's hard to believe you've accomplished all that. Congratulations!

I'm so glad you're able to work in your garden. They snow from our last storm just melted a couple of days ago, and I'm just itching for warmer weather so I can go outside and work.
