Must add: Even happier at the thought of drinking the very interesting bottle of wine he'd got me as a present for no real reason.

Cleaning the dump area in the garden and finally seeing the back of the Timber shed for the first time in 6 years. Then finding 5 spare slabs I put there for safe keeping probably 10 years ago just when I prepare to gravel and slab a path to one of my greenhouses.

Also roasting garlic in the wood oven while watering the garden, the aroma was divine.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.

Finishing my last essay on Saturday makes me happy every day, and it's expected to carry on making me happy for a long, long time.

I bought treats to celebrate - a pizza oven and a pizza paddle for use on the barbeque (awesome thread by the way Mikey!) and a chelsea bun with cinnamon icing.

Finding that the weeds are pulling out really easy on the plot - thank you no dig Smile

Seeing hints of things to come - tiny french beans and cucumbers, tomatoes (still green of course) and flowers on the Crimson Flowered Broad beans.Smile

So I know not everyone would find this a happy, but today I turned my heaps & three quarters of the way down the middle one I disturbed a rat on her nest. She belted out through one of the holes in the back into my huge pile of stuff that's too big to compost, leaving just one blind baby behind. I popped the baby through the hole and she grabbed it and ran off. Slowly I unearthed 9 more and she came back and collected each one off my hand. What a good mum. I left the third heap unturned as I guess that's where she'd gone.
Last spring a rat came out to see what threats I was putting on the heap & would take things like apple cores from me. Perhaps it is the same one?
For clarity, my heaps are about 50m from my house and 200m from anybody else so I am happy to share my space with them. I used to have pet rats and always found them to be fascinating!

Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes.
