Our friends Jo & Simon very kindly gave me free reign with my hedge trimmer yesterday and I spent around 4 hours giving my upper body and core stability muscles a really great workout!
However, among the trees, bushes and hedges I tackled were two 15-foot holly trees and I now have some idea why the tree surgeons charge them £200 to trim them!
It took Simon and I about another hour to clear up all the trimmings by which time it was dark, so I have no idea how it looks in daylight. Since Kim went to see Karen for the day, I know that the weeds will look just as they did when we arrived, alas!
Jo then very kindly produced THE most delicious lamb roast, possibly ever, washed down with smooth red wine, apple pie and Simon’s chocolate mud pile. This latter may not be its correct name, but does correctly describe how it looked… though to be fair, it was also delicious!
So after a slightly broken night’s sleep (my wrists weren’t the only painful areas!) I decided I had better have a quick run this morning to clear at least some of the lactic acid.
One mile in 9:03. Have a GREAT week peops!
