God I am fat now. There is just no denying it or pretending or even hoping its just a temporary thing...I am officially overweight and plump. I also get stiff when crouching down, or getting out of bed in the mornings and even after a journey in the car I am all stiff at first!! Where did all this come from? I thought I would be young and supple for ever and that old age and infirmity happened only to others.
Anyways been on holiday from work for a few days and now into the stride or relaxation of laying in (listening to the sound of the workmen outside the house which will be gone soon thank goodness), having a lazy breakfast while watching heir hunters, then just pottering. Yesterday I did the garden, tidying up the pots and deadheading old flowers and cutting back faded blooms. I then dug a border at the end of the garden up near the fence.
My first border sort of felt almost emotional as if we were really leaving a mark on the house. That whoever comes after us will have that border with those plants in there. We have started a garden and left a little of ourselves behind.
Right am off to leave more of myself behind and plant some bulbs. I love how the bulbs come up in the darkest and coldest of days and they remind you of how you planted them in teeshirts and how you had the warm sun on you as you laboured. Some of that good summer sun gets transported through the bulbs to brighten the early spring/late winter day and keep us going till once again the days get longer.
I'm going to make Christine and John a little bulb garden for their patio and hopefully give them some nice summer cheer to keep them going through the long dark winter especially as I sort of feel all is not too good for them at the moment but I may be wrong. I'll find out today as off there tonight for a dinner I invited myself to...I just had a feeling to get in touch, probably nothing.
right off to change for gardening.
