Bugger...

....my son just told me there are more blogs than there are people who read them.

Oh well, I'll make this an on-line diary then.

Joe's first day back at school, yay!!

And my first day back at the Mardyke.  And it was good.  It took less time to work up to my maximum heart beat than usual but despite the five month gap, I still have some fitness. When I come out of the gym feeling good about myself, I drive badly.  I got beeped twice on the way home.

It's another beautiful day in Cork and my garden is looking particularly fantastic.  I love the zingyness of nasturtiums.  They have such a mad splash of colour and are generous with it.  Dead easy to grow but I have to re-plant them every year as mine don't seem capable of re-seeding themselves.

This morning I spotted blue buds among the yellows and oranges.  I thought they were weeds but left them alone as I wasn't sure.  I now think they are hollyhocks I planted in May and they should be the dominant plant.  The nasturtiums are seeds that got mixed up in the compost. You never can have too much colour in your life
