Well I guess it must be as I have only worked 6 hours today and the same yesterday instead of the usual 8+ Just somehow doesn;t feel like it - but needs must and I need the money. Shame to miss 2 great MINI runs this weekend but thats life I guess - somethings are more important.

On a much more mundane level the garden is springing back to life at an alarming pace - so are the weeds The common Clematis (common as in variety you understand ) that my neighbour has planted on our joining fence is a mass of flowers - and I mean a mass! Well I suppose it’s only right to illustrate this - so here you go!

Other things going well are a god forsaken Lilac tree - that came over from the other neighbours garden - he has long since got rid of his and I planned to get rid of mine and is still on the to do list for this autumn. It’s not that I don’t like the thing - just that it’s so invasive and has roots and runners going everywhere. It is starting to stop other plants that I actually want from thriving, so it has to go. It looks good at the moment though.

The redder looking flower is on a species of grass that is growing in my pots on the patio - not stunning flowers but I quite liked the pic.

My seeds are also coming on well - and thought I would show you what I call my “hot pokers” as I cant remember the real Latin name. Now they don’t look much at the moment but I will post pictures of them in full bloom around July and hopefully it will be obvious why I like them so much.

Well thats the end of my Percy Thrower session, but I am sure there will be more
