I was ever so impressed.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime I planted the aubergines that I had bought on Saturday and the pepper and chili plants that Liz gave me on Saturday night, and weeded a few more of the pathways. <\/p>\n<p>All in all, it&#8217;s looking pretty impressive right now in the garden and I&#8217;ll tell you what &#8211; when there&#8217;s two of you working, somehow the work seems to be completed much more quickly than if there is just one person working twice as long, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>And in some kind of indication of how much I was motivated, after Rosemary left, I weeded the path outside the front of the house, lifted up the two pallets that I was using as a kind-of terrace, put an old tarpaulin down to kill off the weeds, and then put the pallets back and set out the garden furniture.<\/p>\n<p> And it was all of 19:45 when I finished &#8211; a long time after knocking-off time but at least I have my outside table and chairs in position for whenever the summer finally arrives &#8211; it was another miserable day today.<\/p>\n<p>This morning though, I went off to the Post Office in Pionsat to post the &#8230; errr &#8230; 9 letters that I had written yesterday. I&#8217;m glad that they are all done and dealt with now. <\/p>\n<p>Returning home, I finished off the web pages that I had recently written, to find that the one that I&#8217;ve just been doing, instead of being at my grand maximum size of 34kb and hopefully less than that, is all of 57kb. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s going to need dividing into two, but I&#8217;m not sure where the join would be.<\/p>\n<p>Once I&#8217;d done something with that I moved a few more things downstairs and then went outside and started slinging stuff into the back of Caliburn. It was then that Rosemarie arrived.<\/p>\n<p>So all in all, another pile of progress today. If I&#8217;m not very careful I might be starting to organise myself, and that would never do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-203 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='203' data-nonce='0607717488' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-203 lc'>+3<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-203 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='203' data-nonce='0607717488' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-203 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-203 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; this afternoon.
