I tidied the garden a bit today, getting rid of some of the summer plants and flowers that have gone past their prime and planting some spring bulbs in pots.
Tomorrow, I'll be pruning some stuff and, possibly, giving the grass a cut.

In other news from Hundred Acre Wood, there are now no houses up for sale in this street. The two houses on the market are "sold subject to contract".

My guess is that before the end of the year, another one will be on the market.

Isn't the hump under your patio showing yet?

I've just hung up 50% of my new net curtains.

Top half or bottom half?

Good morning. The fog just rolled down the hills so hard it bounced.

I'm back at work and trying to get this workshop tidied up before the H&S inspection in a few days. I feel like king Canute.

Morning .
Another poor night's sleep . My mind started doing a lot of thinking , some of which was WW2. It must have been quite a shock to experience all of the fighting , devestation , to return home to find similar destruction in your home town and then to go back to your old job if it was still there . I think some of it came from a comment my mum had said to my wife about my dad . She said that he was a different person after he came back . It must be strange being away for 4 years and to take up where you left off .

Picket Line crossed this morning - UNISON this time. I've more empathy with our lower paid Facilities staff than I do with Academics. Yes the pay rise is crap, but we aren't getting any more money in terms of Income per Student. It was mainly made up of our cleaners, so I had a chat, as two of them were asking where I was - I've moved floor ! I'd be all for them getting a one off payment, or indeed a non permanent monthly amount to help.

We've all had the same poor pay rise, but I can't afford to lose 4 or 5 days pay.
