Gardening
It has finally got cool enough to be able to do some decent work in the garden without collapsing from heat stroke. And, oh boy, is there lots to be done. Fortunately, I like gardening - I find it relaxing (and I've been pretty stressed this last week, so relaxation is good).
I've been lawnmowing and weed pulling and trimming stuff here and there and pulling out more weeds. I'm just giving my back a quick rest before I return to cutting the grass away from the flagstones in the back lawn.
It's lovely to see the blackbirds visiting their nest in the wisteria. They're so habituated to my presence that they'll visit the nest even when I'm pottering around in the garden. We've also got a juvenile robin (spotty brown breast instead of the adult red) who is remarkably bold and comes to watch when I'm cutting out the old raspberry canes.
The summer fruiting raspberries (the new growth at least) recovered to a decent green colour with a multi-mineral feed and lots of water. However, the same treatment has had no impact on the autumn fruiting raspberries, which look as sad and yellow as they did before.
