Decluttered a few shrubs of some overgrowth and cut back an ivy this afternoon, in a violet scented and green garden. Looks like the snow/frost this year carried off my 15yr old Christmas tree and the pyrocantha that did duty as barbed wire fencing so they'll have to be cut down and grubbed out at some point... It's positively warm out there today.

Now the shrubs are neat and the paths are full of clippings (I like to leave them so the birds get the seeds, the leaves dry and drop off and I get nice dry sticks to break up and can sweep into bags - much easier than hauling half a tree through the house) so more work required in a couple of weeks time there.

Also potted up some house plants that have needed bigger pots, thrown away the china pots that got broken by the frost and am now sorting my craft paper stash into new rainbow coloured drawers (Really Useful Boxes - gotta love 'em!) that I got yesterday.

We are not going to mention the other subject of this thread.... but Tai Chi starts on Wednesday.
