  • When I was hanging up the washing in the garden I had plenty of opportunity to notice how many weeds we have. At least I'll have plenty of time to do weeding now, so I can get on with some when I'm feeling 100%.

    I'm obviously feeling better as I've been sorting out rubbish and doing washing today :). So as my working hours have been drastically cut I can focus on gardening and spring cleaning the house .
