I have a little custom made greenhouse, which is of course painted green. My ingenious husband built it between a brick workshop at the end of the garden and the fence. It gets just enough sun to encourage the tomatoes and aubergines to grow. 
I have been reading Dustpan Alley about Angelina's hard work in the garden and also My Messy Thrilling Life where Brin has been making a patio then finally Posy who has the most wonderful garden, all of which chivvied me out there myself to get started.
I've been sorting out the green house first, moving all the old flower pots out, digging the soil over and hardening off the runner beans ready for planting out. Outside I'm going to grow rocket in an old Belfast sink and some courgettes in pots too as there's not enough room for a proper veg patch. I've got dirty finger nails and an aching back and have had a lovely day. Tomorrow the flower beds will get some much needed attention and I'm going to spend the garden centre gift vouchers that I was given for my birthday...in August! I fancy columbines, poached egg plant, foxgloves, more lavender and rosemary and definitely hollyhocks.
Thanks for your input on the music front, glad to know so many other people are '80s music fans! I'm going to buy someone new but still haven't decided who, perhaps Amy Winehouse, the Dixie Chicks, I don't know why but it seems harder to choose when it's not going to cost me anything!
