Hobbies / Books   (Gardening, walking, books, films, theatre etc.)

Managed to do a couple of hours in the garden yesterday. Hands and arms are covered in scratches after tying in climbing and rambling roses - never noticed at the time.

Not sure my borders at the back will be up to much this year, I asked my son to mow the grass at the back - talk about a bull in a China shop - he goes well over the edges.

Talking of the grass, it has virtually dried up but is very lumpy and bumpy after all the rain, now it has dried up a little it needs some serious attention - which means keeping the dog off it perhaps a couple of weeks.

Had a fire in the incinerator my son robbed off a skip - I won't tell you how he nearly blew himself up applying a little petrol 'just to get it going Mam' - daft bugger.
