A tiring but productive day in the garden today. I have a bunch of old concrete channel drain sections so I've used those and some old bricks to make a raised drainage channel across the garden. So now I can empty the buckets of water I use in the potting area onto that and it takes most of the water across to my apricot tree (with a few leaks along the way which will water other plants too).

After doing that, cutting out the climbing rose this morning and a few other bits and pieces I am thoroughly exhausted. I'm going to have a shower, heat some stew to have with mashed potato for dinner and then it will be full on relax time.
