beautiful weeds

the bit of the garden that needs weeding is trying to persuade me (with great success) that weeding is for people who have nothing better to do in life and a bit of chaos not only goes a long way, it can also look pretty at the same time.

after a very frustrating, exhausting, difficult &c beginning to 2010, life seems to be just ticking along nicely. Everyone is happy, I'm not working so much, I have time for hobbies and a social life and even get enough sleep! Last night I was off out for an evening of philosophical discussion and came back with my brain zinging with new ideas and even more new questions. Food and exercise for the brain is just as important as food for the body (as mentioned yesterday). Next week I'll be doing more exercise for the body - I'm starting pilates lessons, which I'm really looking forward to. Even though I do cycle and walk and stuff, I don't get chance for a full work out. 5 years of an office job has had a detrimental effect on my derrière and if I don't watch out my next trousers *will* be slacks, with an elasticated waistband.....
