Getting Colder.

Cold and grey with an icy easterly wind blowing all day.

My workman's coat is completely windproof so I was nice and warm while I weeded at the zoo this morning. I was only there for a couple of hours but managed to finish weeding the bigger of the two play areas. Quite a bit of grass had come up in the smaller play area but as I didn't have the time to do all of it I thought I'd try something different and went over it with a hoe. Hoeing isn't that good for my back but it didn't take too long. I just want to see if turning the grass over in the colder weather helps but I suspect I'll be back to working on my hands and knees pulling out each individual clump.

Back home I baked a Bara Brith, made a cheesecake and did some extra tidying around the place before going off to Pilates. While I was in the middle of all that kitchen work a lorry from Huw's turned up to deliver .......... a big bag of top soil. Something must have got mixed up in the office so I told the chap I'd already had the soil last week and off he went.
