weeks catch up

We are having fun in our house and garden.

been busy trying to make more jam - some hasn't set - shall i re-boil it or not?

also made some plum chutney - which smells yummy.

the garden is coming along - i have been busy chopping.  This is what is left of the Mahonia:

Today i was scooping up some leaves and instead of leaves i found a toad in my hand - it was now my turn to scream and geraints turn to laugh!.

We had a lovely present of some garden centre vouchers and went and brought a chimnea for our garden and christened it today with a a BBQ and lit it for the first time the rain and thunder storm (it wasn't raining when geraint started cooking).

Now i have to decide weather to do more gardening or more jam?

I have been found fit for work after a DWP medical so no more sick notes for me and have signed on to JSA now.  - the job hunt had already started and have done up my CV - now what shall i do with it? i've seen a couple of jobs but they are all full time and i defiantly don't want to do that - please pray that something will come up
