Productive day at work, with seemingly some real progress, and certainly, some impressed noises from my managers.

I had two hours of lieu time this afternoon, taken as gardening leave: we're now filling the new flower beds at the Yoga Ashram with soil :-)

The Flooger! has been rather off his food since starting on his kidney disease medication last week, which was very worrying. However, today his appetite seems to have suddenly returned. Given that he seemed unable to smell the strongest 'appetizing food enhancer spray' the other day, I'm wondering if he's had a cold?

N's birthday present as finally arrived, and is much appreciated: a lemon tree to grow in their polytunnel - it even arrived with a lemon ready to eat. I will get to see it on Tuesday 6 April ... train workers willing ...

D's home and we had 'rapid dinner' centred on a new kind of Fairtrade cashew nut veggie burgers (worth the risk as all the monkeys here love cashews), and they've been voted 'definitely worth buying again' (Goodlife brand).

I'm definitely feeling fitter than I have since ... well, last time I visited N, back in September, before I got 'gastric flu'. So I've been doing more ... so I'm more tired. _Yawn_ ... very nearly time for bed.

Going to see Mater tomorrow - hopefully, for a potter about, and watching Billy Elliot the movie, which is one of the many aspects of modern culture that have thusfar passed me by. Then, more ashram gardening.
