pensnestI filled two wheelbarrows with weeds yesterday (there are another five wheelbarrowfuls to go from that location, at least), and today Beast mowed the lawn, so the compost bin is **full**. Beast has also managed to extract four or five wannabe trees from the garden, while I repainted the fireplace in the sitting room. It's a good thing we have a gate into the Ancient Forest and can dump woody debris in there.
The swimming pool continues to empty itself—this evening I used the hose, which is still flowing, to water the tomatoes. I'm surprised the water is still coming out, I suppose it's because it has not ceased to flow. Quite handy, really, since we have plants we wish to keep alive, and all that water isn't going to any other purpose. A good thing the soil drains very well.
I have developed an unfortunate addiction to 'Say Yes To The Dress', which is about as trivial as a television programme can get, and which is on TLC in the afternoons along with 'Something Borrowed, Something New' and 'I Found the Gown', a discounted version of SYTTD. Good grief. Still, I am making actual progress on the tapestry piece I started about ten/fifteen years ago and had consigned to the back of my wardrobe for many years. Not sure where it's going to go when it's done, but I dare say there will be somewhere.
Bun cooked for us on Sunday, an elegant meal, and very enjoyable it was to have a few hours with Bun and Boy. We're hoping to do the Dragon Trail together on Saturday, but if it rains I will content myself with accompanying them to the Pride march in the afternoon. I've never been to one before!

I've also got my eye on the new plus size bridal show that starts on tlc soon. Which is ridiculous as I'm not even that interested in weddings. Just, they made excellent fluffy easy watching when I'm doing other stuff.
