At last, the weather's good enough for gardening! Dad and I have a new tree - an acer - to replace the evil ornamental rhubarb thing that came with the house, and it's beautiful. All leafy and lovely. (Which I appreciate describes many trees, but I feel the alliteration adds something.) Next weekend's job (and no doubt it'll rain now) will be to find some generic bedding plants and put them everywhere there's bare soil. Well, after we've attacked the weeds and actually created some bare soil, anyway. And it will hopefully start to look something like a garden again.
In other news, I have work (after a fashion) to occupy a percentage of my time for the next three weeks. It's only working for my mother's husband again, and only three hours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, but hey, it's something to tide me over until someone gives me a proper job. As long as I don't eat the peanuts they give me all at once...
work,
