.....and so today we have got one of the best days of the summer so far. It is bright still and very sunny, not overly hot, just lovely. The butterflies and insects have finally appeared and I have been sat down in my wild patch watching them and enjoying the sounds I have so missed all summer.....
The blackberrys need picking and putting in the freezer and the whole garden needs a lot of attention. Joe is looking for his compass again cos Darsh hasn't cut the grass for nearly a month. He only likes to do the grass when Sukpal is here to hold the wire for him and to empty the grass box when it is full....I ask you....it needs to be cut every week this summer with all that rain it has carried on growing far longer than normal.
The flowers are also lasting well, I have been feeding and deadheading everything and so I still have loads of colour in the garden and greenhouse. The sweet-peas are full of flowers and I can smell them inside the house.
I hurt my back again last week and this is the first day I have really been able to get downstairs. I have managed to get in the shower and get dressed for the first time in a week. Thank god for the Paralympics I have been watching them all day, but the adverts are just so bad...every few minutes they interrupt the flow.....give me the BBC (no adverts at all) any day.
Joe is pleased to see me downstairs again, he is looking strangely slim for some reason. I have lost half a stone this week. Darsh has been in charge of catering.....he does so love his own made curry, fried rice and chips. If he makes it himself....how come he can never tell me whats in it, or where the ingredients come from? He was cursing earlier this week, apparently there is something wrong with his fridge. The breads his brother brought over from Malaysia have gone mouldy....in the fridge, not the freezer. When did his brother come over? Just after Christmas wasn't it? Hmmmm, anyway I've lost half a stone...wonder where I put it...
