I've been digging the garden today. I always seem to find myself singing 'if I wanted to be a farmers wife, I would endure that muddy life, I would dig for victory' when I'm in my wellies. I turned over two huge compost bins. Double satisfaction - good for the environment and good for my body. It's getting harder to keep it under control (the garden or my body!).
Tess and Millie played at making pies with the ashes from the fire that we had on Wednesday (Bonfire Night). We had our big Bonfire Night last Saturday which I'm glad about. We discussed having it today but it's chucking it down. Hope there aren't too many having their party tonight - I've heard a few fireworks going off.
Playing snooker tonight. I'll be making a serious attempt at improving my highest break - 16!
I read a fare bit of 'The Week' magazine while Tess and Martha were having their dance lessons this morning. Hilarious little story in the 'It must be true...I read it tin the tabloids' section - "A Vicar in Sheffield has had to undergo surgery to remove a potato from his bottom. The unnamed cleric told nurses he had been hanging curtains in the nude in his kitchen when he fell backwards on to the table, and impaled himself on a tuber" - what a picture! Also read a bit about Alan Greenspan - now there's a name that ought to roll off the tongue a lot more easily than Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross! I was almost moved to tears by this: 'To prove once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope." Before Barack Obama I didn't believe anyone could convince me that over 50% of Americans were not war mongering, self obsessed, blind patriots. Thanks Barack. Please don't let us down.
