Yesterday was a significant day because Philip’s appointment for the results of all the tests was in the afternoon. After waiting for 3/4 hour to see the consultant we finally got in and she gave us the good news that everything is almost back to normal. He will have another check up in 6 weeks and then it could be a longer gap in between visits. Phew, such a relief, maybe we can get on with the rest of our lives now.

Earlier in the day we had some sales which is worth recording because this is unusual. Also it appears that some people do read this so I’m encouraged to write things again.

I need to put my brain into gear and suggest some suitable plants for 3 enormous mill stones which are placed in a car park at a local site which is due to be opened by a VIP later this month. Bamboos and grasses seemed the obvious choice to me but they want flowers so it might have to be hardy geraniums, crocosmia and erigeron. Maybe I will sneak in a grass or two. The trouble is that the holes are not very big so it could end up looking a bit naff. Anyway, that is one project for today. Also, if its not windy I might spray some thistles which are spreading rather quickly in part of the field.
