Day to relax

Today I'm having a rest. I'm feeling very tired even though I went to bed at 9 pm last night. Yesterday I spent the morning clearing the cuttings from the pine hedge and in the afternoon generally tidied the garden. The sun was very hot and I think that I had to much.. My face and back is burnt and felt really hot last night. After a rather lovely dinner I had a couple of glasses of wine and then promptly fell asleep on the sofa. Colin woke me up at 9am and suggested that I go to bed. Once I hit my pillow I was out for the count and didn't wake up until 8am this morning. The problem is that sleeping so much has left me feeling tired today.
I have a few bits that I should do today but I think that I will leave them and just relax.
I think that the dogs are also tired as they are still lazing in their beds.
Maybe I will ask Colin to put up the pagoda and then I can lay in the sun but not get burnt.

UK elections

Feeling very tired today. One of the dogs kept me awake whining, there was nothing wrong with her I think that she just wanted attention. We still have a lot to do in the garden and today Colin plans to cut the large hedge. This requires him balancing on ladders which I need to hold for him. We hate doing that hedge because it makes a lot of mess with the cuttings which need gathering which is back breaking.
I've noted that my flower seeds are sprouting which is really good because in the past I've not been that successful with flowers. Also the lupin seeds that I took from my brothers garden in England is beginning to sprout. I love lupins and if these few grow then I can take more seeds from them in the autumn.
Listening to the UK news I hear that the new  UKIP political party have done well in the local elections. I don't really know much about them but I do know that they have firm policies on immigration which is probably attracting people. Whenever I have been back to the UK people I talk to seem to feel that there are far to many immigrants moving to the UK taking benefits and jobs.  I'm not sure how true this is but it is a usual complaint in times of recession. People previously saw the lib dems as the forward thinking political party but I suspect their coalition with the conservatives has damaged their reputation. The labour party were always seen as the working  peoples party but I think people no longer see them in this way. It will be interesting to see how the main election goes.
