Mild.

The sun was out today and it was relatively mild. After a late start I decided that today should be another gardening day. I had planned to do some weeding but then I thought it would be better to get on with the mowing. It was the first cut of the year but I still managed to get round the whole garden. That included the wild flower meadow which only gets cut once a year. I was doing well until I decided that it would be good to hand pull all the long matted grass that was lying flat on the ground. Naturally I didn't have any gloves on so it made my hands a bit sore. Only when the postman turned up did I realise that I was dripping blood from a grass cut so after that I did the sensible thing and found some gardening gloves.

Peter took himself into town for a session at the gym. I'm glad he got out but he's annoyed at the difference not going for a month has made. He'll make a decision about going to the Scillies after a few more sessions and a row at the weekend. That's if we can get tickets on the Scillonian especially now that the helicopter service from Penzance stopped last autumn.
