It has been a lovely week, weather wise, particulraly from about Wednesday on, when the sun has shone and temperatures have been warm, in the mid-teens. Everything is beginning to bust into life, trees are greening up and the front trugg is looking good,
No refereeing for me today, and I had planned on running, but I still felt a little tired when I woke up, so I didn’t run. Instead, I had a full morning in the garden, planting up an Abelia Grandiflora that will hopefully grow over the years to fill the hole left by the blighted box bush that I cut down last year.


It looks small at the moment, but hoping it doesn’t take too long to grow.
And in the back I tackled some of the ivy from the back wall, largely at the behest of Becky in her battle against her nemesis …

To be fair, the ivy is significantly above the top of the wall, so over the course of this spring and summer I intend to cut it down quite significantly


Sam has an interview on Thursday – for a trainee manager post with Enterprise rent-a-car in Bristol, having had a successful phone interview, and then a video interview. So we’ve been trying to kit him out in “business attire” for Thursday: I remembered I had some suits that I no longer wear as they are too big for me under the eves. Fished them out and they fit the boy! (Have since washed and ironed them so he won’t look so crumpled …)
