It's getting bad

Fed off of trying to get phone and computer to talk to each other I went into the garden planning to relax and read. Instead I began gardening! Pruning to be accurate. 

I saw a clip on Facebook about pruning salvias so I set to. The only problem is that I only vaguely remember what the clip said. Something about cutting some short and some longer. So that's what I did. And I thought if it could be applied to salvias it could be applied to geranium and lavender as well.

I saw another FB clip about taking a hydrangea cutting. Couldn't quite remember that either but took a cutting anyway.

The fitness class I attend on Tuesday mornings had extra funding and has employed a proper professional trainer to do four sessions over summer. I went last night. He began with a warm-up. It was just like this but with arms outstretched holding a 3kg weight.

I was ready to go home after this. But actually nothing else was as bad.

This year is the 30th anniversary of the UK chapter of God Squad. Sean, who leads Zac's, was one of the founding members - and is now International President - so on Sunday there's a big biker celebration happening at Zac's.

How can that be, you say, when Zac's is still being refurbished? Well, the building work is done and much of the painting, however, this was the sight that greeted me when I turned up this morning.

I confess to giving a little shriek of horror. Because of holidays I've not been in for a while so had assumed it was much further on. Stu assures me that it is all superficial. Just needs putting away. And cleaning.

So this morning I took on the job of cleaning the counter and behind, the walls, window, and underneath.

While perched on a ladder cleaning this memorial to Baz a bit of it fell off. I closed my eyes, convinced I'd look down and see bits of Baz all over the floor. Fortunately it was just the little wooden frame bit from the other end of the bullet that had fallen.

I also offered to make a celebration cake. I was a bit late doing it as I hadn't thought about it until someone mentioned how expensive it was from a cake shop. So it's missed out on the regular dousing with brandy, which is probably just as well as there could be some alcoholics in remission attending. It hasn't actually got brandy in it either; I only had whisky and Baileys so had to make do with that. I figured that small amount would be okay as there wouldn't be much alcohol left after baking.
