<p>After my time in California and then a week with Helene I've had a "normal" week. I do have my routines and some people like to tease me about them: Curry on Friday; toast and marmalade for Saturday morning breakfast; and a poached egg on toast for Sunday breakfast listening to Ludovici Einaudi. It's these routines that mark out the weekend from the rest of the week. I do have regular events during the week such as my gym sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. The routines keep me sane.</p>

<p>I've also spent a lot of time weeding. Helene was a great help last week knocking the vegetable plot back into shape and this week I've concentrated on the flower beds. It isn't weed free yet but I'm getting there.</p>

<p>The area in the photo has become my Nemesis because I leave it too long, it goes wild then takes a lot of time and effort to tame it again. I'm getting there.</p>
