It's that time of year again

hirezMigraine season has arrived with a bang (the migraines) and some whimpering (me), so the garden's getting more time than usual since that's all I'm fit for.
It's also that time of year when I remember with a start that I should be doing more outside things because there's more daylight to do them in and have a bit of a swear about having been looking the other way for the last few weeks. More or less like every other year for the past several.
The passage of time is a right bastard. The front parlour isn't much better, since it contains a flammable sofa and curtains last seen in 'Oh no it's Selwyn Froggett', and the kitchen is where dreams of escape go to wither and die.
On the other hand, I accidentally a vague sort of 'plot' for a story, so that's good.
You can also see the back wall of the garage for the first time in about a decade.

My depressing discovery of the decade: If you move into a house and spend a couple of decades in it raising four kids all the way through college, when the dust finally clears you will be standing in the wreckage and wondering where on earth you're supposed to start on clearing it up.
(Step One, as always, appears to be "acquire a large sum of money." Unfortunately.)
