I've had a lovely day today pottering around the house. I got up early and went into the garden and did all the weeding and mowed the lawn for the first time. I had jelly legs after so I got some good exercise. I actually really enjoyed it and got quite excited about how the garden is going to look once it's done. I want to get all of the paving slabs taken up and lawn put down, then once the giant shed is gone put a smaller wooden one at the end of the garden. I also want to get some raised beds and plant some veggies and herbs. I'm also thinking about getting some chickens eventually. I like the idea of having ex battery farm chickens and being able to have fresh eggs but we'll see! Here is a pic of the garden as it is at the mo (pre-gardening). Look how massive that shed is! It takes up about a third of the space so it's going to be huge when it's done.

I then went for a half hour walk up to tesco and back carrying very heavy bags! I then sat in the garden with my book for a couple of hours. This evening a friend came over for dinner so I cracked open the Pimm's and we sat in the garden. I did get lots of SF (cucumber, orange, strawberries) and used diet lemonade so it probably wasn't that bad.
