Gardening Update

Well, the sun has been shining, and it's been stupidly hot for the past few days so the garden is looking a little bit parched and a lot of things have panicked and started flowering (the sage and rocket mainly).

I also think we possibly have a bumblebee nest in the compost heap but apart from a few unlucky ones that venture too near the spiders den behind the curtain in the shed it's nice to see the garden attracting wildlife. The soft fruits section (i.e. my section with the strawberries, cranberries and either redcurrents or white currents I can't remember) Is all doing very well and we should have a bumper crop this year.

Best of all I'm on holiday next week!!

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes...
