h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I thought of you today when we visited a church and the ropes for the bells were just there

I am a very bad person for also thinking that I am glad we went today and not tomorrow when there would have been just a little temptation to do a Ding Dong

we wouldn't have, out of respect for the bells.

Actually didn't hurt after the strimming as it turned out. Nutureing seedlings is a tough as it got today

This weekend the real digging up of the garden begins, expect whinging...

So a progress report.

The patio has been cleared and organised to Spiller for that.

The veggie patch is dug and now we are just de-cloding Hiccup has been doing a stirling job hacking away and I have been forking

I have had to resort to using chemicals, on the big hogweed that I haven't been able to remove and on some sycamore trees that I have battleing with for years and are becoming a threat to the drain, fence and a wall. Injected it in and it breaks down quick.

I found 6 more hog weeds, but am gettting good at spotting the blighters so can remove them manually when they are tiny.

Still don't know what is in the compost pile, stuck a finger yesterday and got nipped by an annoyed Need a better torch

We are painting Hiccup bedroom, first coat is on I think we will be able to do another before Doctor Who

Started clearing the flower border on other side of garden.

I blitzed the house on Thursay and it was lovely, not by tidy peoples standards but by ours and the garden looked good. I had the basics of a couple days meals done.

But now everything is tatty again, it is productive tattiness but meep, wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew, have to remind myself there is no hurry.

So now I have taken a break, I'm off to do the washing up, clean out the bath which is muddy due to cleaning muddy stuff in it and rake up stinging nettles
