In a good way. Very productive day. For me, anyway. Plan was to rip up some lawn and plant some lavender[1]. I got as far as ripping up the lawn. Not as pathetic as it sounds - there is no more pernicious and hard to get rid of plant than grass where you don't want it. I may or may not be able to move tomorrow, but I have to plant out all the little lavenders I bought today as they're very root bound. I hurt already. This may put a spanner in my plan to ride the bike to work on Monday.
I even had the sense to not rush out and do anything during the hottest part of the day, but slept all afternoon and started digging around 5.
Miscellany:
While shopping in Sainsburys, the background music was Duke Special's "Last Night I Nearly Died". That probably means that later this month will be the last time I get to see him in a small venue for a tenner. Am very glad I have a ticket now.
At least I'll have got to see him twice in a small venue. Due to slug-like tendencies on my part, the other new-ish bands that I really like, The Killers, Muse and Arcade Fire, were too big to see in a small venue by the time I heard about them.
For Joy Division fans: Ian Curtis was the subject of this week's Great Lives on Radio 4. It's only up for a couple more days as I caught the repeat on Friday rather than the original broadcast on Tuesday. It's not very illuminating at all, but did play the unreleased version of Love Will Tear Us Apart which is just Ian and a piano, which I had never heard before, and is worth it for that alone.
[1] Original plan was to plane some more heathers & alpines, but due to poor selection at the garden centre I ended up with an enormous amount of lavender instead.
