fix up my garden

still a work in progress.
Manage to find a gardener, who has levelled the garden and pulled up the weeds. It is a carpet of white right now with a snow man slap bang in the middle.

this is finally taking shape. Earth dug, levelled, garden rubbish bagged up in biodegradable bags and now a compost bin takes a proud spot in the North corner of the garden.

Tomorrow the real fun begins, as now I can begin working along with the ‘gardener’ on creating a creative, calm, alive, caribbean sun kissed space.

It has been cut, it looks so vast, I actually felt sick and excited. Excited as I think so much space to be all creative, sick as I thought how am I going to create a calm, welcoming, fragrant and fun enviroment.

This is truly a thorn in my side. The weather has been great and I am sick. I get up every morning and I am faced with the horrific fact that I may have to face facts and hire someone to do this as i really can’t handle this all by myself.

Plan: pray, yoga, breakfast, wash/dress,go for a walk and get the nylon for the strimmer and then cut the other half of the garden.

Actual: raining, pray, breakfast, wash/dress, pick up a relative from the airport, a nap, still raining, still raining, around 2pm no rain, watching DVDs and drinking hot chocolate with whip cream and the garden….................

My cousin came round today, just turned up at my house all organised to cut the grass that had now reached above my knees. See this is what happens when you tell others about 43things, they feel they have to motivate you; we got the strimmer, clippers and rake going. I am exhausted and my muscles ache; a good work out and this means I achieved something towards my get healthy goal.

Err….that pile is still sitting there; I am so disgusted with myself.

I have a garden the size of a football pitch, i look out the window the sheer size of it just makes me go back under the quilt.
I finally brought some weed killer, sprayed it and a lot of the weeds have died, I’ve dug some up and pulled a few out, there is a pile of garden rubbish that needs burning now, just haven’t done it yet.
