Too much studying, not enough gardening

My garden has become a conservation area again this summer as I have struggled to finish the thesis and do everything else and the dark corner at the bottom has systematically stiffled anything that needs light to grow - or so I had thought - until I noticed how the one remaining rosebush has risen to the challenge - spot the pink bits on the skyline!

And, yes, once I get a new job I'm going to get a better camera too :-)

Meanwhile on the other side of the woods...

more screaming headlines from the last 7 days assure us that despite war and terrorist anarchy, justice prevails and the rights of goats are enshrined in the law, although injustice busting moggies may be less successful at securing their full allocation of lives.
