What a week!!

It was just one of those weeks, packed full with things to do and appointments which I naturally had to attended.

First task was finishing the lawn; so dead on eight I was on my way to pick up the roller from the garden centre only to find out (through my own stupidity) that they open at nine. I could have waited the forty-five minuets in my car but just sitting there doing nothing didn’t appeal to me so home I drove and returned dead on nine to pick up the roller.

I started on the lawn around nine thirty and worked all day till gone six in the evening, what with raking and picking out the stones (there were a hell of a lot of them) my back was killing me around two in the afternoon but being an old soldier like I am I put the pain behind me and fought on to the end.

The Tuesday was taken up with helping my wife in the house (she hadn’t been feeling too good the day before) and tidying up outside in the garden. I must say I was glad for the break as most of my muscles, or I should say all of them, were aching like hell.

Wednesday, shopping in the morning and in the afternoon taking the dog to be trimmed. Now this is a procedure that takes up all of three and a half hours when you add the travelling time.

The actual trimming (which is plucking the hairs out by hand) takes in all just over two hours.

I was scheduled to go to my friend when I got home from taking the dog to be trimmed. He wanted to make a blog but found he was having problems, which he could not solve and had asked me if I could come and have a look. He gave me a call saying that his notebook had crashed on him and someone from his old company was coming to reinstall Windows for the second time in six months. (Strange?) He is going to call me when every thing is working and hopefully we will get his first Blog posted.

Thursday, well that’s my working day (only in the mornings) I clean three houses, which in all contain 23 flats I clean the stairways and the cellars and other adjacent rooms that belong to the project. After lunch I had an appointment with my optician to test the intraocular pressure in my right eye. She thinks that I may have the beginning of the green star. If this is discovered early enough then it can be brought to a stand still through eye drops. My next appointment is on the 26 of this month then I will know the result of the test.

Friday (today) this morning I was out working in the gardens that surround the houses that I clean (this is part of the job) mowing and getting every thing tidy for Whitsun I was finished around midday. What a week!

I must take the opportunity to congratulate both no1broadstreet and the blotter on their posts over the last week. I agree with my brother the Blotter has a way in which he writes and uses words that makes his post outstanding at the best of times. My brothers posts I enjoy reading because they are simply him and damm good

A note on the weather. We are having warm and sunny days with the temperatures up around 27 degrees lovely blue sky’s and is going to stay this way over Whitsun.( not to good for my lawn seeds though)
