Today head gardener Timothy-Michael has had to go back to the vets as there is little or no improvement with his leg so he had to go and get kncked out so the vet could give a proper examination. He doesn't take kindly to vets, they only have to look at him and he growls at them, not a good patient at all. Anyway they have found that he has torn some ligaments in the knee of one of his hind legs which is quite serious and could need an expensive operation if it doesn't mend by itself. He has to have six months rest and is most likely the end of his footballing career. Knowing Timothy-Michael niether of which will be something he would wish for.
Also today I put in an order for my retirement greenhouse. We have a big outbuilding with a pretty boring wall so I've decided to go with a leanto style greenhouse to go against the wall. I also figured that when I no longer require it as a working greenhouse someone can make use of it as a sunroom type building should they choose. The diamensions are 16 feet by 8 feet so a reasonable size although not as big as the one I've been used to at work but my new garden isn't anywhere as big as the one at work so I think it will be okay.
The picture below is of the leanto from the website. Mine will be plain aluminium with white glazing bars. Done in colour the cost would be a great deal more so I chose to have a larger size than a pretty colour.

Sorry to hear about Timothy Michael, I hope it heals naturally but I expect 6 month's rest will be hard. Love the greenhouse.
That will make an excellent greenhouse and a sunroom.
Thanks Susan. Timmy has another visit to the vets tomorrow, unfortunately as yet there seems to be no improvement.
I hope so Ellen, it will be a while before it's put to work though as there is a waiting list of many weeks. Nothing seems to get done very quickly these days.
That greenhouse will be amazing!
