Summer is acomin in

.. this morning I spotted the first toad of summer. Fortunately the kittehs were eating their umpteenth breakfast at the time and missed it.

I'm on holiday today. So far I have:
(a) got up to take Phoebesmum to work
(b) had a bath
(c) done some Phd reading
(d) loaded car up with trash from garage
(e) had blood pressure taken (I am, the nurse said cheerfully, perfect!)
(f) drove to the tip and emptied trash into appropriate skips
(g) gone to Home base and purchased stone slabs (the 3 I laid at the weekend aren't enough - the area outside the greenhouse needs to be double the width), pansies, compost, a new watering can (I broke the rose on the old one) and a clematis
(h) had healthy lunch.

Now I am going to play computer games for a while to recover.

Another day, another dollar

It's a very long time since I updated this - 'must try harder', my school teachers were right after all!!

Am at home working on rewriting essay. I'm sure I will somehow do this, but not quite sure when (and the deadline's looming!).

We have a toad in the garden. I've grown quite fond of him over the summer. He appears unexpectedly - once, when I was rearranging the stones in the pond; another time, hopping quietly up the path, and so on ... I have absolutely no objection to having a toad; they eat slugs, which would otherwise be munching on my flowers. I do have some mild concerns that the neighbours will conclude we really *are* witches, but perhaps they haven't noticed it's a toad I occasionally speak to and just think it's one of the cats ...

So, welcome Hoppity - you are welcome to stay as long as you like!

In other news, Jeff has gone and signed a contact for a daytime soap (ATWT). *sigh* Great role for him, good income I expect, but something I am unlikely to ever actually see!
