I had a good session at The Unit and I'm definitely getting stronger again**, slowly, hurrah! Luckily I find it's easier to ignore sore toes in rock shoes than in any other footwear. **I've just gone down the "losing muscle mass as we age" rabbithole, which affects both sexes, but particularly women.

I called at Lidl on the way home, both Lidl and Aldi have 40L bags of compost quite cheaply and I'll be needing some with spring coming.  Four hours later and I still haven't got it out of the car, I had enough of last year's to sow the broad beans in pots. A friend had given me an unwanted zip up greenhouse last summer, it was a bit rickety but I had it. When I got it out of the garage this afternoon though, the flimsy plastic cover was literally dropping to bits, which wasn't obvious until I'd opened it out and tried to get it on the frame. I think I'm going to have to put it in the bin :-(

I mowed the lawn as it was dry,  but had to remove a lump of cat pooh yuk. Hopefully if the grass is shorter the cat won't be so keen. Then I pruned both dogwoods and found a bit of the red one that had rooted, so might put that in the front garden.

Then I came in and, having neglected to take any photos in the garden, was faced with my boots on top of the shoe cleaning bucket, waiting to be greased for the last time.
