Easter

[themis1]

So far this Easter I have:

(a) washed the car
(b) planted two lilac trees (this involved removing turf, and digging quite deep holes in very hard ground full of builders' rubble)
(c) been to Milton Keynes to check out academic resources at the Open University library, and visit Lush (of course)
(d) weeded the back garden (not as onerous as it used to be - I must be winning!)
(e) taken Phoebesmum to her mother's, and made polite (I hope!) conversation
(f) watched Dr Who
(g) filed away the remaining bits of academic paper, so that I can buckle down to some serious thesis preparation
(h) cleaned half the windows, outside
(i) collected three of six dragon eggs, and contemplated names for the dragons (DragonFable, of course!)
(j) watched Supernatural, CSI: New York and CSI: Miami.  Also, correctly identified that the Miami ep *had* to be the last of Season 2, because of the way it ended
(k) planted two lavenders
(l) read an entire Diana Wynne Jones - well, all right, it was a short one ...
(m) scrubbed one third of the patio.  On my hands and knees.  With a scrubbing brush.  It really was the ONLY thing that worked ...!

It may be just as well I have the rest of the week off to recover!!

Trees

[themis1.livejournal.com]

Nor in ours, but we have this daft bit of grass outside the garden wall (about 10 feet wide!) that can't even be seen from the house but which we own - we hate mowing (about the only time it gets mowed is when the neighbour does it!) so are slowly replacing the grass with other stuff. A couple of lilac trees seemed like a good idea ... also some berberis thungbergii (which I probably can't spell) to put off any children who see our TV cable as fair game ...
