On day four I whipped up some more jute twine scrubbies.
These have replaced the little green sponges in the kitchen in an attempt to
reduce plastic usage. I have crocheted them using garden twine, and when they
are at the end of their working life they can be composted, or buried in the
garden to rot down. Jute is a natural plant fibre which is strong and holds
its shape when wet.
For day five Momma P and I went for a walk – we have decided
to start walking on a Saturday in a bid to get fit and lose a bit of weight –
so we went up to the allotment to put the turkey carcass out for the fox and
top up the bird feeders. While we were there I noticed that the first of the
bulbs are starting to push through!
