What a few days

Its has been one of those weeks and its not over yet workwise either. Hopefully though I might get a chance to relax something which I think I have earnt this week.

Whats happened then well two days gardening as per usual, then the last three have been a tad different but very enjoyable. I have been helping out a local ecologist on a development site in Norfolk, a bit of work with reptiles and good fun it was as well, common lizards and a grass snake. Been long days though with the travelling and fitting in a garden or a bat survey when I got home.

Did get a bit wet today but yes we do need the rain still, and after all trousers get dry eventually.

Little brother is still doing well although the rain he has had has been very heavy and unfriendly. The worst was from Tongue round to Ullapool steep roads not made very welcoming by heavy rain. The Tongue Hotel deserve a really big thank you from Robin, there hospitality was incredible and he is very grateful for all you did for him as someone raising money for Marie Curie.

He is now away on the islands again, he landed at Stornoway Wednesday evening after a rough boat trip and is looking forward to his cycling there as he knows it will be quiet with a bit of wild camping which he loves for good measure. New photos coming up.

well who would have thought it eh

Well who would have thought it eh.

Lots of gardening today, cutting back overhanging trees just like being back at the park and some serious weeding, very good for the soul I can tell you you have to relax. Might well have another couple of gardens as well. Then theres another bit of work which might be coming my way that will involve me wearing a hivis jacket, wont say anymore yet but it aint litter picking the central reservation.

Little brothers cycle trek goes on, dont forget http://www.justgiving.com/RobinsGrandTour

He is well on his way now past Carnoustie and Dundee and I think still recovering from crossing the tay bridge where you ride between two lanes of traffic going each way at a bit of a lick shall we say.

Its all go well almost

Blimey I think we had at least what ten minutes rain this evening, got to write that down.

Been an odd day really I had to open my wallet and buy some more kit for work should be able to do a few more jobs now in peoples gardens.

Then there is little brother, Robin the wanderer, he is now in Scotland ready to start his 1000 mile cycle ride tomorrow morning. Been hard to get the local press to pick this up but there are a couple of Marie Curie ladies in Scotland who have been pushing hard, got him some warm showers some nights and evening meals. We will see how it goes. Robin had his picture taken today, thats it at the top, with a local patron of Marie Curie in Scotland Dame Barbara Kelly. So there is no backing out now for him especially as the sponsorship money is slowly going up. Have you sponsored him yet????
