I'm gonna take you out...
Well, another day another dollar.
Things are busy and the garden is finally beginning to resemble a garden and not a swamp. To fill you in, as our house is a new build the garden was of least concern to the builders. After we moved in and I started turning the ground over, I began to find infill about 7in down. To date I have pulled out countless bricks, pieces of plaster board and broken tools. All of this is compacted as the obviously used it to support machinery behind the houses. I still need to dig a french drain at the end (thats a drain filled with gravel) so that the two layers can drain, but now that the grass is taking and the borders are blooming, the plants are helping with the water uptake.
I was hoping it might be try enough to have a bbq on Sun as its The Kid's Bday on Sunday. Looks like we might all be indoors..... crap!
Anyway, have a good week or so, had 2 nights out now and a work friend can for dinner on Sat. The Hubster was trying out new curry recipes, which were delish, as were all the cocktails we drank.
Mum and Dad are coming up for the birthday bash, my sister is in Venice and the Brother hasnt got anytime off work to make it worthwhile coming up. Its not a problem, we will probably be in London for a flying visit the weekend after as my Granny is over from Belfast.
Just need to get the bday cake sorted now....
