Friday in a boxer's life

Fair morning for a walk much milder than yesterday and the moon is trying to break through the clouds. Looks like the bosses are going to be busy this weekend as a big bag of sand, bags of cement and some paving slabs have been delivered. I think this is the base for the new shed to go on.

Household seems a little down, I think it's because one of the tribe is back to uni for their last year. Strange that we have a system that even creates debt whilst still studying. I know the bosses took out a loan to help and that a student loan was taken out too. Now when his studies are finished he will be in debt before he starts, even though he has worked every holiday to ensure that he has no outstanding debts to the bank or credit card company.

How the seasoning is changing fast leaves are falling and there is less activity around the bird table unless the sun is shining. The frogs are keeping a low profile and the baby toads are not in their usual places. There are still roses in the garden and many are buds, the dog wood is showing good colour and the acer's leaves have changes to a golden glow. According to the bosses the grass should slow down and require less cutting. Bulbs have been planted in tubs ready for next Spring and winter pansies have been put in hanging baskets to give some colour to the garden over winter. Much clearing and trimming of plants to give shape has been going on and I think some replanting was talked about too.

Will keep you informed of the work in the garden and the shed base as it occurs. must go as there is a warm spot just been made available on the sofa.
