it's bank holiday again - yipee!!
last bank holiday we went turf-tastic and pulled up loads of paving slabs and gravel to put down our garden carpet! today i mowed the lawn for the second time - the smell of fresh cut grass is incredible. i also put some twine around my 'wigwam' for my peas to grow up. last year, peas were a disaster because i missed the harvest and they all dried up!
big brother starts tonight which is very exciting. once upon a time, the british summer was punctuated by wimbledone, but no more!! now, big brother hogs the airwaves and brings many, ordinarily composed individuals, into the depths of severe addiction. i take hold of my addiction by limiting myself to the opening night (tonight) and then no more until 5 weeks before the end. i have decided this is the best strategy becasue the first few weeks people are still able to perform for the camera, don't need to get too close to anyone and there are too many in the house to really get to know what makes anyone tick. the last 5 weeks however, are a totally different story!
i'm also excited about freecycling which works on the basis that there is too much waste so recycle what you don't want/need and do this by giving it away to someone who does want it. amazingly the 30 pink paving slabs and the various assorted plastic plant pots i put up on the site got snapped up within hours. there are freecycle groups all over the place and it's brill! looks like we may have just got a table tennis table for the youth at church through the site too.
this weekend we are off on a little mini break to royal leamington spa darling! it's where my best friend sam lives and it's flat too! can't wait to see sam as it always feels like it's too long.
by the way, robin is lush!

make poverty history
this is the link to the new 'click' advert which will be shown of channel 4 (i think). it is really powerful and deeply saddening.

i am well. we are well. i am sooooo pleased that debbie jones is blogging. she is the most amazing woman and mother and friend. i am so inspired by her on an ongoing basis - quite incredible when i look at how quickly i can move from inspiration to inspiration on a daily basis.
friends of mine have been having hard times. two of my friends have each miscarried their 2nd babies last week. one of these friends and her partner are believers, the other friend and her partner aren't.
robin is wonderful and although he has been grizzly with a sticky eye and snuffles he continues to astound me with his beauty and creativity as he explores the world each new day.
currently i am reading 2 books. i shall blog about them soon!
