Mum and Dad were over last weekend – Mum was dropping off two California Glories from their garden (they’re moving, and the Glories aren’t the nicest plant to hug). A bit of labour later, and

• the hole in the pond was fixed (created by Mum and I lifting some water plants out a week or two before),
• the two plants were in the ground,
• the trench for the armoured cable was started,
• the compost bin was restarted,
• the junk crazy paving that was being used as a wall was removed, the bricks underneath were removed, and logroll was installed,
• the lawn was mowed,
• and I had three new fish in my tank (thanks to Dad, Red Dwarf Gouramis).
