Sun, May 9th


Today was a tiring day. With our fruit and veg growing in leaps and bounds, we really needed to get our back yard ready for them. However, that meant we needed to get out there today and make a start. I only did two hours before I had to call it a day. I cleared up the countless pebbles stones between the path and flower bed, attacked countless bamboo and tree roots, and turned over quite a bit of soil. Sadly, it felt like I had only made a small dent in the project. The back yard, on the other hand, had left my arms, legs and back aching again.

After lunch Dawn called Brady on the telephone to wish her Happy Mother's Day. Brady and Jim were getting ready to go to the beach, so they couldn't do their usual video call. Dawn then did the ironing while I watched Chelsea win the Premier League with a 8-0 win over Wigan. Spurs ended the season losing 4-2 to relegated Burnley. Thank God we beat Man City on Wednesday otherwise we would have missed out on the Champions League by finishing the season in 5th on goal difference.

The above photograph shows how far we have progressed in the back yard.
