Today

Today Peter drove me to B&Q to get gardening supplies for the last time before he leaves for Plymouth. I was grouchy and impossible to please.

Today I was ill and slept all day.

Today I went to see a hygienist and she showed me how to make my gums bleed. Fun.

Today I studied some Go proverbs.

Today I was too tired to go out after work, so I lay in bed and played Go on my iPad instead.

Today I met up with friends to celebrate Monika's last day at work and her birthday. Peter was away at Plymouth viewing flats.

Today I did loads of digging, it was 6 hours of gardening in total.

Today we did more gardening, the allotment is shaping up nicely.

Today we set up a compost bin at my allotment.

Today we added a bench to my allotment.

Today I received a free iPad from Torchbox and a TomTom sat nav which I had bought. The iPad made me happy, and the TomTom made me want to kill someone.

Today we went to the Oxford City Go Club again. I had a great time playing with my new Japanese friend. Now I can practice both my Japanese and Go at the same time!

Today was summer solstice. We worked on the allotment till late and saw a beautiful sunset.

Today we worked all day on my allotment and I planted my first tomato.

Today we started work on my allotment. I felt bad killing the 'weeds'. Gardening for now seems to be mostly about killing.

Today I watched Alien with Peter and we were very impressed by the cat's acting.

Today I was exhausted from work and all the excitement of the week, and so I stayed at home (to read the gardening books) while Peter went out to meet our Oxford Flickr friends.

Today we had a lovely dinner and tea at Ash and Monika's.

Today was a great day for me. I formally became the proud owner of an allotment, I also attended the Oxford City Go Club for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed my first game with a human that isn't Peter.

Today I spent all evening looking at spades and forks.
