Ready, steady ...

Tomorrow sees the start of Operation Flowerbeds. Today we marked out the beds with spray paint. Getting everything perpendicular was no mean feat. Pythagoras tells us that the diagonal of a right-angled triangle with sides 7 m is about 9.9 m, which should have helped. But trying to measure accurately with a tape measure that stretches, twists and gets caught on dandelions is not easy. But got there in the end.

We labelled the area that will be patio so that no-one digs that up tomorrow by mistake.
