Better weather and rainy days

It was sunny this weekend.
I decided to get out in the garden and weed the onion beds.
They are all that is planted so far for this years veg.
It took about 1 1/2 hours to hand weed 3 beds but it was worth it.

Saturday the guys went to Karate.
They were later than usual in getting back and I was just starting to get anxious as DS drove himself and has only just passed his test.
The phone rang and it was DS.
One of the other club members was taken ill so they were helping till an ambulance came.
It was a relief to hear they were okay but sad to hear someone was ill.
At home later ,they said the man had had to be resuscitated with a defibrillator.

Sunday they heard he was better but had had further heart attacks and will need to be under a doctor for some time to come and his heart condition was most likely due to cholesterol.

Bookish Monday

I am reading Simon Pegs book

Nerd Do Well

It is a Biography with a few little fantasies thrown in.
Quite interesting if you like Biography, it reminds me of a lighter version of David Nivens books.


Shopping

We needed a new teapot this weekend as I dropped the other in the sink and the handle broke into 3.
I did glue the handle and it has held so far but it is too risky what with the content being boiling tea.

The First shop we looked in had the ideal replacement. Red with an unrestricted spout and big enough to hold 6 mugs at once.
Quite a flashy sounding name.
The shop wanted £7 but we managed to haggle as it has a slight imperfection and got it for £5.
