    Thanks Beanielou I am feeling better and we did have a nice birthday for my dad. That was all Saturday and then Sunday my sister came over with her husband and a trailer plus tools to cut the hole in the hedge and reduce my apple trees and another hedge. It looks really nice and now can get the new rob mower to connect both areas. I will need to put down some more grass seeds for sure and I think I will have to start planting some hedges or try to keep the grass down until the stones are all clear. It was annoying I could not help with much after my op but I made lunch and I got all the weeds burnt. They took all the rubbish to the tip but still more cardboard and my composters have not turned up. My BIL says the site I have ordered from is total rubbish so not holing out much hope. It says it has been delivered but the shipping company has not had them yet. Gemini says it is a good company so not a scam.

    I really need to do some work. I have still not sorted the new phone line out and learnt how to use it. I have no marketing prepared today which I usually do but as I am not feeling 100% it is a bit of a late start anyway. I have also got a free Danish marketing course i want to do and I need to do some GDPR training for DG so all good.

    DG is yet again fed up with golf as she played in a comp yesterday and played really badly. Sounds familiar because it is yet indeed but it is what it is. We have golf and dinner tomorrow but it is only for fun. I am not going to play as I want to make sure I am 100% healed.
