hellisonYay bank holiday weekend! This one has all gone very well too.
Champagne with family on Friday night to celebrate baby Rafe's arrival, Karen's new job and Mum buying a house. We had a busy week ;p
The last 3 days have been spent doing various bits and pieces of stuff, with much lazing and mudding in between. Went along to the Assassin's Ball saturday night, armed with my trusty bottle of 0 and managed to win Best Dressed, which was nice. I'd forgotten how much fun some of the social events on the disc can be. Fun, and very very spammy ;p
It has actually stayed dry, so managed to get lots of washing done and dried AND tackle the garden some more!
Cleared the flowerbeds of the worst of grass and weeds sat. and sunday, but they were a bit too far gone for that to do, so today just dug them over again and put down some fresh topsoil and planted flowers (cheap batch o' pansies from homebase) and mystery mixed seeds.
Also reclaimed the little herb bed, thinned out the rampant mint and planted some catnip seeds; it'll be interesting to see what happens if they come up ;p
Now I just need to get hold of Jim's scarifier thingy for the lawn and get my strimmer back off teh Logue and it'll start looking a bit more like a garden and less like a wilderness.
From this -
to this!
(the bare patch is where the catnip will hopefully grow)
And this -
to this - (view from the front door)
Once the flowers start to come up it should all be bright and colourful. Hopefully! The roses should start to bloom soon as well.
And now for a long soak in the bath I think ;p
