We have a garden? You should have said...

rosa_heartlilySo, work continues on the garden. We've spent this week painting what is, really, quite a small fence but has so many nooks and crannies. I'm working during the day and the husband's arm can only do so much. But it's done. We're now thinking of growing climbing plants all over it, which will hide all our hard work :D
We can now think more seriously about the pond. We know where we want it and our conversations about plants, etc, seem to line up - at least at the moment! Next steps are to a) clear out the crap from the soil (including but not limited to small stones, chocolate bar wrappers and plastic dinosaurs...) and b) source a pre-molded pond that's the right size. We also need to think about planting but I'm not sure whether to do that as a third strand, or wait until the pond's in and we can get a better feel for it.
I'm also pondering creating a teeny-tiny Zen garden in the corner that never gets any sun, but that's a project for another time.
Work continues to be work. I found a great dungeon-building site - here - to help with my 'project as a quest' idea, but I think the whole concept might just be TOO esoteric. And the Visio process map I have is bright and pretty. And we're looking at developing a set of webpages, and that has to be as simple as possible, at least to start with.
But I did get to play with the dungeon-builder!
Had a nostalgia-fest re-watching the BBC's 1995 version of Pride & Prejudice. It's still brilliant.
Started watching Warrior Nun because my chat buddy is watching it and a lot of our conversations recently have been, 'I watched this thing!'... 'I didn't... but I watched THIS.'... 'I didn't...' Anyway, not really feeling Ava and co, yet, but I'm only two episodes in.
Meeting up with the mother and the daughter for a delayed Mother's Day meal later today, so housework will be done this morning.
And that's pretty much life at the moment. Oh, we've started a new series on the Beatitudes - you can watch me mumble on about 'the poor in spirit' here. Thankfully, the scheduling means I won't be talking about Greeks or cheese-makers (sorry, the meek and peacemakers)!
See you next week for more randomness.
