    I had weeds.

    Lots of weeds.

    and it didn't rain.

    Pile of weeds has now returned to its previous height of 4 feet.

    It sort of collapses a bit after a while so I top it up.

    About 75% of lawn square now processed.

    Just a bit more to do, then I can rake it over, firm it up, rake it over gently, sow the seed, rake it over again to bury seed & then hopefully it will grow.

    After about 6 weeks I can start mowing it.

    Deep joy.

          At Benton you will get a parking space in about 7 years. Until then you need to park at the local metro station (Four Lane Ends) and walk for 5 minutes...

          Been there a few times in the past. Its as depressing as it sounds...

          as for the upsetting people bit. I felt bad turning down Microsoft as they took a week to get me a contract that I still couldn't accept while the other option really, really wanted me and gave me the standard IPSE contract as featured on the IPSE website..
          Ta eek.

          So it looks like Leeds again then. I did ask the interviewer if it was Newcastle and he was sure it wasn't there.

                Morning all.



                Rained here.

                Wet pussy whining by the back door when I eventually prised myself out of bed.

                We'll see if it gets dry enough to finish the weeding job this evening.

                    Well, there we are, beef in the oven, along with the rice pud.

                    Gooseberries (green) stewed & festering in the microwave.

                    The sheer efficiency of my Sunday mornings knows few bounds.



                    Along with The Archers on the wireless.

                    Sheer unadulterated bliss.

                    To be followed by that Mancunian oik on Desert Island Discs.

                      Discovered the suitcases we own are either massive or stupidly small. Off shopping to get a medium size one...
