it's all in the plan

I'm not interested in today's Snowflake Challenge at all, so I'll be skipping it.

Quite a busy day today. Beast woke me with the reminder that I had to take Boy to UEA's medical centre for a blood test, which I had completely forgotten. That accomplished, we were trotting about a bit for various reasons this morning. The plumbers were plumbing and the insulators, outside with the scaffolding, were stapling slabs of insulation to the wall. It looks very smart, in fact.

Both groups finished mid afternoon and went home. The plumbers had run out of radiators and the insulators have to wait for slightly warmer weather before they can go on to the next step. So the house is now quiet, and still warm!

We had a couple of chaps over on Saturday to see about taking away the frame of the hideous polycarbonate greenhouse, and they have basically dismantled it; among other contents was a large rosemary bush, which I have pruned considerably and replanted in the herb bed next to the house. It'll thrive, or it won't. This is my philosophy of gardening.

On which subject, I've had the first draft of a garden design plan back (only three weeks later than promised)... not enough flowers and too much gravel, but I have sent copious feedback and we'll see.

Made Toad in the Hole for lunch.

Yay for the construction (and deconstruction) progress! I hope the rosemary will manage to do well in its new location. And that the garden design gets worked out just how you like!

If the rosemary thrives, it may yet be uprooted again. But there is another giant bush of rosemary at the far end of the garden, plus, some of my little cuttings have actually rooted! One way or another, there shall be rosemary.

It will be interesting to see how the garden design progresses.
