leafy

It is very leafy at the moment - specifically on the tree that overlooks my study window, and shades the back of our house. Although it's not what you'd call scorching here, it's certainly not helping! We are off to talk to the neighbours about it though we may have to call in the council. Since it is a chestnut tree and the next door house is called "The Chestnuts" we somehow suspect they may be attached to it. Our house doesn't have anything so fancy as a name, before you ask...

The house, post-wedding and post-new-husband, is gradually coming to order, but still suffering from a bad case of piles and an even worse case of boxes. About half the contents need to go to Oxfam (although The Bloke™ doesn't quite admit it about some of his stuff yet)... the other half need something doing with it, tidying away or painting or something. Anyone fancy a weekend of DIY?

Off to the operaaah tonight, Carmen, I have only seen a ballet based on this but we expect it to be, like Shakespeare, full of quotes.
