It would be easy to say "not a lot" but that wasn't true of today.
I had a new fence put up between me and my good neighbours. The wind had taken its toll and it nearly fell down when Jane was in the hospice however the neighbour kindly managed to repair it but it wasn't going to last for much longer.
I had someone come and look at the lawn and quote for giving it four treatments a year. I would still need to dig out the rogue broadleaf grasses because the weed killer thankfully doesn't kill grass, that would be silly. I also arranged for the installation of my robot mower - more on this later in the week.

The wind and rain obviously had put a strain on this branch that was just too much for it. It wasn't dead, just tired of living (know that feeling). Approximately one hour before it fell I was standing underneath it filling the log basket ready for a fire this evening. Maisie found it interesting, something new in the garden, but it damaged foxgloves and nameless plants (nameless because I don't know what they're called). It was lucky it didn't fall on the new fence. I'll need to get the chainsaw out tomorrow and tidy up the garden providing it isn't raining again.
