Peter’s Hospital Diary

And the weather did hold up for the weekend! Which was just as well as we had a “bit of a bash” on Saturday to celebrate various birthdays, continue research into the taste of various alocholic drinks, but basically to enjoy the sunshine and “chill out” after what has been a pretty eventful year so far!

The garden looked good and I think the guests all appeared to enjoy themselves! I certainly did, and again confirmed that Pimms does taste better when mixed with dry ginger rather than lemonade; and that lager and cider are both equally enjoyable on a hot day. Mark (fellow blogmaster) loaned us a sound system, and as the neighbours were all invited, there was no excuse not to use it fully!

Sunday was equally enjoyable (after the inevitable clearing up and taking a load of empties to the tip) with more hot weather and another BBQ, so all in all it was a very good weekend! We also have another ‘exotic’ plant to look after – a bourgainvillea! Thank you Mark, Sue, Dot, Mike, Peter and Lin!

Oh yes – we spent a quiet hour yesterday picking over 5 pounds of blackcurrants… but all the time I could feel beady little eyes watching me from the trees!

I have skipped a day in my enthusiasm, but on Friday I went to see the equivalent of my GP (my work medical services) who have said that August looks a good for starting back in my next job. All I need is a medical certificate to say I am fit so that looks as if it is getting under way (and I have been spending some time on the ‘phone this morning making sure that is happening!)

So – as I believe someone once said… “Onwards and Upwards!”
