Hi all thanks for your comments and concern, and yes I did have a better night's sleep last night, thank heaven I go through phases where I can go for about two weeks and sleep through the night, then BAM! I can spend the next two weeks trying to get by on about four hours a night, the doctor's say it's an age thing, Tosh! they say everything's an age thing when they don't know the answer.
I did try the TV thing Horst but it didn't work as during the night it's usually violent or porno movies that's on and I'm not into that sort of thing, anyhow I can't see it would lull me off to sleep :-) I usually get up and make some hot chocolate and a biscuit, read for a while and it does the trick,- mostly,
I spent a few hours in the garden yesterday and managed to chop up the Pyracantha that got damaged by the frost, I've got thorn prickles all over me, but it's gone all bar the main stems, I felt a bit sad about it, as it was a nice specimen. I'll plant a Vibirnum there in it's place. Also trimmed off all the last bracken leaves also planted out a little veggie garden. At the back I had the lawn replaced by shingle, I made a frame up about 4'x4' with left over kick board from the kitchen, lined it with tarpaulin and filled with compost, I've planted lettuce cucumber, and beetroot, some tomatoes will go in next month, Got the potatoes planted , and some are starting to sprout already. yummy
