Laurel

Gardening hour involved hacking this stupid great bush back. To be honest, I don't really care if it lives or dies though I find it very hard to kill but it's getting cut down to the height of the wall and then being allowed to grow no taller than the top of the fence. On the whole, I think the neighbours will approve since its stupid sprawling branches and leaves cast a massive shadow over their garden, though they may also appreciate the screening it provides. I'll ask. Spotted a nest in the middle so I've stopped until I can establish if it's occupied or not. Hopefully not.

Added an alarm and tracker to the bike, fiddled for hours trying to make a raspberry pie into a video player for the van and picked up the lad from the bus, fed him and took him back to the bus. Monday.
