What a strange week. Rubbish weather meant I was office-bound the whole time, so things dragged a little - tomorrow I'm supposed to be at sea, but we'll see ;) The wind is still from the wrong quarter, although it has lulled a little now.

Finally got round do doing a spot of gardening, thanks to the nice weather. Uprooted what seemed like a meadowful of grass and weeds in one spot, which had been left unplanted (due to my running out of inspiration). That patch is now destined to become a vegetable raised bed, subject to me getting everything sorted (which may take a while). I'm looking forward to growing some onions, garlic, spuds, carrots etc.; keeping the cats off, less so. Am slightly concerned that I may have been overzealous in pruning the passionflower creeper on the pagoda; it's looking rather withered and, well, dead. But a few green shoots show some promise :D

I should hear by the end of the week if I've got an interview for the job I applied for. I'm more keen on it now than I was when applying, so I'm glad I did actually apply in the end! So I'm crossing my fingers...

On a crafty note, I really enjoyed Kirstie's Homemade Home, which aired on Thursday. I'm all for crafting things for the house, and the sight of Kirstie rooting around in skips was a hoot! Skipping... I hadn't heard the verb 'to skip' used in that context before.
