Well, I'm back at work and I must say quite miserable about it. Last week was great, the weather was super and I got to spend a fair bit of time down the allotment. It's great down there at the moment, the apple trees are blooming and the birds are singing, it's so peaceful that even a days hard toiling leaves you feeling totally relaxed. The whole gardening process is also teaching me something that I severely lack; Patience. I think being a child of the eighties, growing up in front of the TV, being part of the fast food generation, was quite damaging in many ways. Growing your own food gives you a very real understanding that things don't always come on tap, they take time and patience. It helps you get in step with the natural environment, the turn of the seasons.
My first seedlings appeared at the weekend to whoops of joy, this time of year is very exciting. The plot is looking good, I spent most of my time making mulch paths to keep the grass from growing back up and weeding, so it's looking a bit neater.
The wedding all went marvelously, a great time was had by all and on Saturday a few of us went to see Alasdair Roberts playing at the Charlotte. He and his band were great but unfortunately were only playing to about 15 people, our lot being 6 of them and 2 were working behind the bar. It's generally the case at The Charlotte, Leicester's only medium sized indie venue. It's tragic really, so many bands only ever play Leicester once, one experience of the Charlotte is enough, the gigs either haven't been promoted properly or the sound is just awful. And we always end up apologising to the band for the pitiful venue! But nevertheless it was fun, Alasdair Roberts has a very unique, spellbinding voice and he played my request 'Sweet William' so I was happy!
I'm just off to my first Yoga session. I'm on a bit of a health kick at the moment. I've haven't eaten chocolate, cake, sweets or crisps for a month as of today. It hasn't actually bothered me as much as I thought it would but I'm more than ready for a bar of lovely dark chocolate as my month's abstention is now up. Yeay!
And very good news! I received an email yesterday inviting me to do my three sittings for The Method.I can't wait to get on with it but I think I need a little think first. My email was in my bulk folder so keep an eye out everyone, I almost missed mine. Better get going to Yoga!
