And so much needs doing? It’s so tough when 3oclock in the afternoon hits and you feel completely drained… things still whir around my brain super fast. I had so many plants to dig in today. I’ve gone round the garden and seen lots I want to do!

We had a huge family argument however this morning and things I hoped would happen were being withheld. No privileges for the misbehaviours (room tidying needed) but it seems to have changed course already and no compromises are being held. Why do I feel penalised?

Adults went out and visited farm shop with a new cafe extension. We had a lovely roll with cheese and ham salad. Good for the diet? Maybe the huge G&Ts we are now supping negate that!

I came back from our outing shattered. I wasn’t even driving. But it feels a bit rubbish to feel tired on a bank holiday. Tomorrow will be wet I am told and all the planting will be hard to achieve so two days gardening wasted?

Maybe not. I have rushed out and tried to cut the grass before ‘No-Mow- May’ starts! But the battery managed one cut before it died. Maybe by the time we eat our barbecue the battery might be charged.
