As this is loading so slow tonight I am just going to write a bit of drivel and catch up with reading tomorrow, so I haven't forgotten you all!

I have been so busy! My special boss (well they all are really but this one's my double boss i.e he employs me twice) is interviewing and he likes to have me sit in and give my oh so valuable opinion. It's no problem and I enjoy it but it is time heavy so my days are packed with stuff end to end at the moment what with rehearsals in the evening and it's MY BIRTHDAY tomorrow so I have got to take cakes all over the place. I think I'll book in a sit down in October sometime where there might be a small window. I don't know if anyone noticed me slip in the fact that is MY BIRTHDAY tomorrow - I don't suppose so and that's good because I don't want a fuss.........

I guess you're all eager for news about my melon..it's fine but since the weather cooled it's growth has slowed a little so I won't be having it for supper on MY BIRTHDAY tomorrow. And the lawn is looking great, well green anyway which is good. The badgers obviously are well impressed because already they have tried to look underneath and see how it is bedded down. However as it has rained all day I haven't been up to snap it with the ole camera (Sony P72 for those with camera interest) so you will all have to wait, and yes I can hear the restless fidgeting. I think it is possible I may purchase a Crunchie tomorrow as it's MY BIRTHDAY - hope you haven't eaten them all Helly!

Yesterday I bought an 'Abraham Darby' bush rose which is sitting in the room with me and it has a very powerful scent. I aim to plant it near my new lawn but as it is covered with blooms at the moment I kept it in the house for a bit so I could overdose on the scent.

Well I think that's enough drivel for tonight and I must get some beauty sleep - don't want to look too tired on MY BIRTHDAY!
