Relaxation

Well, after a rather nice and relaxed week off it’s getting to that point where I’m dreading going back to work :(

So, what have I done this week??

Had my hair cut
Met mum in town and spent hours doing seemingly nothing – had planned to go to the Vivienne Westwood exhibition but didn’t in the end
Gardened

And that’s about it, how did that take up a week?!!! I must’ve done more than that!!

Oh, yes we had a guy come round with the kitchen designs he’s come up with. Not sure which to go for yet, I’d actually like my mum to have a look, see which she thinks. Also I need to know how much they’d want for it, my uncle will fit the kitchen if they’re asking a stupid amount (as most big places do!)
I’d rather not buy from somewhere like B&Q or MFI because they aren’t made to fit, where as I know these ones will fit fully and I’ll have no silly little gaps in places.

I think it’s about time I updated our bird list:

Blue tit
Great tit
Coal tit
Long tailed tit
Robin
House Sparrow
Blackbird
Starling
Wren
Blackcap
Feral Pigeon
Collared Dove
Wood Pigeon
Dunnock
Goldfinch
Greenfinch
Song Thrush
Bullfinch
Magpie
Crow
Swift
Tawny Owl
Sparrow hawk

I’m seriously lacking in the warbler department… How can I change that?!!

It’s been a nice week for the most part, some days have been mixed like today, brilliant hot sun with a very quick heavy downpour. Luckily there was more sun than rain though!
I had a rather long fight with a small shrub that keeps on growing babies! I’ve had to remove it… Rather interesting battle I have to say, Pete and I hacking, cutting, digging away at its root. Boy, if it manages to spring new shoots from that we might have to blow it up!!
Not looking forward to digging up the buddleja over winter, that’s going to be far more hard work! :)
