Calum has finally moved his room around just as the good weather arrived. Maybe the sun in the sky has given him new energy or it might have something to do with him going to the gym over the past week. He got a free trial period with a friend and they have been going each day. It’s good to see him getting more active as he has been putting on a lot of weight over the past year. Trying to get him to deal with the growing waist line has been a nightmare with him coming up on his eighteenth. At that age we are all more sensitive to criticism especially concerning looks or weight. I did try to just encourage him t go for walks. Unfortunately that triggered the defensive stance that all parent of teenagers will know. Sadly the trial period is only for a month and I can’t see him finding the money to continue beyond that. Of course he should be at college by then and I never know he could still get a part time job. I live in hope.
The sun is to stay with us over the weekend so I’m planning on more weeding this weekend. My strawberry patch needs sorting out again. Magz cut the grass over the past few days so that saves me one job. Another she did was the hedges or at least most of them. I still have do cut the tall one at the back behind the strawberries.
It is a pity that some of the good weather will be missed due to getting my son’s new desk built. That is of course depending on Calum being ready to get the work done as he’s away out tonight with friends. I’m not sure if he has plans for tomorrow night but I’m hoping he doesn’t so he’ll be able to get the job done on Sunday.
