daveonGripped with a sudden burst of energy, (made all the more surprising for the whisky tasting the previous night. Not to self, don't every buy the Japanese Single Malt.) I decided to tackle the back garden (they call them yards around here, strange people).
We have 3 problems. Firstly, the garden is on a pretty steep gradient sloping towards the house. There's probably a 1.5-2m difference betwen the house and the back gate. Secondly, we had Tyson's "friends" over for his 2nd birthday last Sunday and part of the lower end of the lawn is now pretty muddy and boggy - this problem is made worse because a retaining wall that used to hold the top half of the lawn from sliding onto the bottom half has vanished. Thirdly, years of neglect had left the garden path almost inaccessable.
Well, I can't solve (1) yet, and (2) will have to wait until the grass has recovered so I can explain the problem to the landlady without difficult questions about paw prints.
I did fix (3) and now we have a nice clear path free of moss and ivy up to a back gate that you can actually get through to the bins. Yay me! I feel righteous.
I also had the first session with the Personal Trainer that left me with an endorphin high rather than an intense need to visit Casulty (ER).
