Emerging from the undergrowth
Up today and off to Steyning, after Lorraine had prepared a delicious picnic. Weighed myself this morning, and in the last few days I seem to have put on all the weight I lost in the previous month. Time to start again, but this time with added exercise. However on the plus side, the new pills have not - touch wood - precipitated another attack as they might have done, despite the provocative drinking of beer last night.
A happy day spent in Dawn's back garden clearing away the wild growth, cutting down dead rose bushes, discovering a pond, and a brick border to a flowerbed and so on. A holocaust of mini beasts spiders of many kinds, including distinctive white abdomened ones, slugs, snails and woodlice displaced in our clearing. Pleasant neighbours, and one singing in the garden next door as she watered her plants. Helen called in for a chat and a cup of tea too. Great fun however, and interesting to see the bare bones of a good garden emerge from the undergrowth.
Jumped over the low wall at the back of the garden and had a picnic on the common. Delicious tart, and salad and quinoa and soft summer fruits as some boys kicked a football about nearby, and the Downs looked beautiful beyond. Dawn told us that when she arrived this morning (she is staying at Helen's round the corner) that the hoover had spookily turned itself on upstairs. She found it very hot as it must have been going for some time.
Home again, feeling the benefit of a hot shower as I am unaccustomed to gardening. On the gold sofa this evening, we booked a late bargain break away in Greece as there is no movement on the house stuff, and then watched the movie The X Men, which I would have loved when I was ten.
