The bank holiday report
So no NHS for me today, we are having our second bank holiday for may; aptly called ’spring’ formerly also known as Whitsun. With it being the school half term, I am also only working 2 days this week, which can’t be bad.
The weather still doesn’t realised that this is late may, it hasn’t worked out that we need more than 20 minutes of consecutive sun breaking through the clouds and preferably we want more than 2 rain free days in a row. I would also like to request the temperature to be at least 70f (20c), but it looks like someone up there is not listening to my particular requests. Still, yesterday wasn’t too bad, and we used the opportunity of a dry and sunnyish day to go to the local plant nursery and buy ourselves some very nice plants. Good progress has been made on my posts and hanging baskets but more work is needed in the area of bedding plants. Trouble was, and I will let you into a secret here, yesterday I had a hang over that should make me give up alcohol for ever. I am not sure what happened on Saturday night, perhaps a fairy threw great quantities of wine down my throat while I wasn’t looking, or maybe at age 43 I should just know better. Consequently I felt a little unwell yesterday and this feeling of nausea and indigestion lasted well into the afternoon, it was particularly bad when bending over to dig or plant stuff. So action is needed here, or perhaps inaction because I am fully aware of the joy of abstinence!
Now that I am fully recovered, I am faced with a bank holiday conundrum which is further blogging or ironing? The clothes are ready, the iron and ironing board is ready, but here I am typing this. Now what would you choose? Ok the ironing has it, but I won’t be doing the extreme ironing in the picture; I wonder where he plugs in his iron?
