I had gone hypoglycaemic over night, waking with a headache and zero energy levels. The net result was that I did very little for the first couple of hours as I attempted to restore my blood sugar levels to something approaching normal.
By mid-morning I still didn't feel great, but couldn't tolerate any more time in front of the TV, so I headed out in to the garden to potter. I spent a reasonable hour trimming back a Kerria Japonica that had taken over a bed, and then had a go at the Cherry Laurel that also needed tidying up.
Over the weekend 30% and I had managed to fill our two garden waste bins to overflowing and they were only emptied on Friday. The way the lawn is growing at the moment I'm going to have to get creative to deal with the amount of green material that we are taking out at present. *
Lunch followed and I still didn't feel great. After assisting 30% with repotting a couple of Bay trees, I retired indoors and crashed on the sofa. I eventually woke late in the afternoon as the rains started.
It certainly wasn't the most productive of days and the weekend's weather had not been conducive to inspecting the hive.** Hopefully I can find a quiet hour early in the week to take a peek at the bees.

* The hedge has gone crazy, but I think we are both doing our best to turn a blind eye to that at present.** The ever present threat of a shower, with the associated cloud cover, meant that a nice clear spell during the middle of the day just didn't happen.
