Growing old disgracefully

By GOD

Spend a little while in the sadly neglected garden.  It never ceases to amaze me how it quietly gets on with its own stuff in spite of me - buds everywhere, scented blossom on the shrub (whose name I always forget), foliage already covering the fruit bushes and a nice harvest of kale to have with our supper.  I turned over one bed and leaned on the spade a lot...not thinking, not doing, just being in my favourite place. 

I'm on a sort of staycation this week - only one meeting and one gig this week.  I quite like holidays where you don't have to pack.  Building up my health and strength for next week's madness.
