So yesterday I gardened all the things and lay on my back in the grass drowning in blue sky until I developed a wet patch on my arse (grass/moss mixture not as dry as previously supposed).

My friends and their small children are now friends with not quite as small children but the children are still lovely and still wake up at unearthly hours. Not that I mind. Nothing beats a morning snuggle from a sleep-warmed toddler.

I can't believe how great the weather has been, chumbling back home over the Peninnes yesterday evening was a veritable picture book of bleak pretty.

Today I get to brave the rail network again as I drag all my gubbins down to

sweetsyren's. And then we go to Echo2. Woo, Fandom etc. Currently my main concern is that I've got a bit of a suntan this week and I'm worried I'm gonna stick out like a sore thumb amongst the REAL, properly pasty faced geeks. I have, however, decided not to wear my worm charming t-shirt. Not EVERYONE needs to know I'm a nature geek...

Current Mood: chipper

Saturday there was sun-worshipping along the Rochdale Canal. Very hippified. Even a Teepee. We found where the Pennine Way crosses the Canal (and a sewage works - glad the family tradition continues). Hurray for us!

Sunday was gardening. The runner beans are in (yes I know, it's rather late, but we've had a fence to build and you can't plant veg when the veg patch is under sacks of cement). Generations of engineering skills were accessed in order to build the stakey-framey-thing. Oh and I discovered my honeysuckle has flower buds. I was a little worried that I'd shocked it into not flowering by cutting it right back earlier. But no, it is apparently well hard. Yay!

And then back to work. Busy busy. Still interesting though. Site managers getting nicer (and more flirty over the phone) by the day. lol. Bless.
