I’ve been on holiday this week from Wednesday. Unfortunately I’ve also caught the cold from my daughter and it has been a stinker. One thing is that at least that I was on holiday so didn’t lose time at work but it has got in the way of my plans for my time off. Today though I spent time digging the front garden under the window so Magz can get her flowers planted for this year. I was also given some rhubarb which is now planted out the back near my fruit trees and strawberries. That area of the back is turning into a good fruit garden what with the two apple trees, two cherry trees, strawberries, blueberry bush, gooseberry bush and now the rhubarb. There is also a Kilmarnock willow in one corner. For a small space I have managed to squeeze a lot into it though without truly planning it all out. Maybe I may have used the space better if I had, then again can I really complain with all that is now there.
My seedlings are doing very well and I should be planting the peas out into my back-garden tubs. It may be a week or two before I plant out anything else though. I also may need to see about replanting my parsley as what I had in my garden tubs seems to have died complete over the winter. Luckily I have seeds from last year. It’s just unfortunate that the parsley didn’t survive, that’s the way it goes sometimes though.
Writing has been stifled by the blocked nose so not much to say on that front. I did send a review copy of my new book to LLbookreview.com which is at least something. Now I have to wait and hope that they enjoy it. Those awful nerves again, what can you do though. I was hoping to get started on my next tale, at least the first chapter. Still I might do that this weekend.
