Another few hours up at the allotment(s) today. Momma P and I have mostly emptied the old shed, tipped over and emptied the water butts ready for moving, taken up the tarps and bricks and redeployed them on the new plot, and started cutting down the grass and the plum trees. The plum trees are going to become a dead hedge thicket at the top/back of the plot to thicken up a patch of trees.
Saw my first bumblebutt of the year today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not much else to report really. Came home. Did the laundry. Did
the washing up. Did the vacuuming.
Lined both of the little planters today so they are ready for
the next stage of life. They are going to a friends house to be decorated and
varnished.
Still loads to do on the plots. 31 now needs to be dismantled
– all the raised beds, polytunnel, compost bins, archway, bird feeder etc. 16
needs to be dug over (I am going to hire a man wot can) and then general
faffing to get things where I want them.
I have spent most of this afternoon pricing up materials to
build my own bespoke handmade shed. It’s hella expensive. Like, £220 just for
the slabs. Hmm. Maybe we shan’t.
Exercise today: allotment. David said that he was going to
start running in March and well, it starts tomorrow. I however have made no
such claims so I shall stay on my bum.
Dinner today: big fat roasty toasty.
