I managed a couple of hours weeding today, despite periodic miserable showers and a splitting headache (not due to alcohol; I live with a bunch of mad teetotallers). You can see what a mess my flowerbeds have got into what with my not daring to weed them for several years for fear of plants disappearing when I did. I now need to replant what I lost and get back to something like normality. I don't know what the metal object in the foreground of the second pic is; it's very firmly set in the ground and there's another on the opposite side of the plot so it was obviously put there for something, but I've no idea what.
