Garden Improvement, Elephant & Castle Cock-up and Freebie from La Redoute

Julian is wonderful: my little back garden improves by the hour - Julian bought a very pretty miniature rose tree from Borough Market, which now has pride of place just outside the back door. Julian spent ages moving things about, trimming and clipping today. The scarf is being shown to Dorothy for approval (or not) before framing - though Julian thinks it may be more easily and cheaply framed in a large frame from IKEA.

On Wednesday the whole Lend Lease project for Elephant & Castle ran out of time for the final sign-up. Hopeless. I have lived here for 17 years and it has all been 'about to happen' for at least that amount of time. Piss-ups and breweries come to mind.

Purchased a couple of bits (two towels, a cushion cover and a waistcoat) from La Redoute with 40% off and was sent a free rather jolly set of four square melamine picnic plates, and four knives and forks, two of each in bright pink and two in bright orange. Good fun.
