Jonquils

We have had a warm day after a bit of rain so I can see the garden almost popping out of it’s winter slumber and ready to getting ready to bloom. Two days ago after a good frost there were no little weeds, now there are countless, all at the 2 leaf stage. I didn’t start on them but sprayed the roses for black spot (they have shoots and leaves already) and gave all the acid loving plants a dose of IronChelates. 3 loads of washing,  a bit of reading and a little walk rounded off the day. 

Happy weekend to those who can’t wait for them. The downside of retirement is the lack of joy every Friday. 

I started a diet today. I am a good doer, if I eat I tend to put on weight. I eat healthy food but too much of it. We rarely eat out but I tend to love my big plate of cereal, fruit and yogurt for breakfast. This morning I was very stingy and hardly ate much at all. I have had success in the past but it is hard work being on rations.
