My weekend: in which gardening takes centre stage and I realize that I am become middle aged

First of all, before I begin this entry, I feel the need to gloat.

I AM BECOME SALZOR: DESTROYER OF NETTLES

Yes, that feels much better. I've just got in from an hour or so attacking my garden with a strimmer. Currently the garden is looking ragged, but there are no more nettles, no more knee high grass and I'm quite impressed with how solid my roses are looking. I'm considering getting some more rose bushes, actually, as they seem to be the only thing that flourish in my garden. I'm just not sure what will go with my current rose bush, which is a silver ghost shrub rose. I'm considering getting a rose named 'Cardinal Richelieu', just because I love the name, but will purple flowers go with white?

Oh! The decisions!

Anyway, away from that. How has my bank holiday weekend been?

Absolutely lovely.

( First there was my Saturday, when I met up with Matt Hope and was generally social )

( Sunday was a day of gaming )

( There is some rambling about the dungeon bashes I have run in here too )

( I've also been having other random gaming ideas )

( And today I've been gardening and soon will be social )

I hope everyone else has had a lovely weekend. Feel free to tell me about it. I always like to know...

*I had watched Resident Evil shortly before statting that base. The more time PCs spend there, the more apparent this becomes. It may be just as well that the game is ending soon, as I think I'll get throttled if anyone ever makes it down to the subterranean levels.
