I'm still suffering a little with....

....the cracked rib. It's so much better than the first week and the pain is no longer constant, just when I take in deep breaths and do anything too vigorous. 

I opted to have one more week off the bike and do some gentle gardening, ironically how I cracked the rib.

As Claire and Orla were out pretty much all day I had lots of time not to rush doing the things I wanted.

Mainly cutting back bushes at the front of the house and in the back garden. The left hand side you can see my work, with just the tops left to do when I'm back out there. 
Two green wheelie bins were filled so then I just did some general tidying in the garden and in the garage.

We desperately need some rain for the gardens, not only for the grass but the general dust settling. I can't believe how dry it's been in April and May.

Later on Claire, Orla and myself went to my sisters for dinner where my mom and dad were to. We had fantastic Lasagne.

Weekend done! I hope yours was a good one.
