Winded and Windfalls

Went out for some Birthday drinks with my team last night and woke up feeling fragile. I was curled up on the sofa for a good hour after getting out of bed just trying to stave off a headache and waves of nausea - totally self inflicted but I still felt very sorry for myself. Luckily, Rebecca took pity on me and helped me through the rough spots of the day until I bounced back at lunchtime. Then it was gardening time - the apple tree has been running rampant for a couple of years now, so it was high time for some cutbacks. I even had to bust out a hacksaw (I only just remember I owned) to hack the tree's limbs off with... It was all very surgical and knackering but the garden is in a much better state now. A nearby cafe was also asking locals for windfall apples to make their sauces with - we had a few leftover and got a free slice of cake out of it. A very fair exchange!
