Total deep cleanse of the bathroom.   Washing on line.   Lugged plants/veg about.   Swept up debris from the very high winds.  Cut grass and done beautiful edges.  Had a couple of nice on-line chatters.   Going to get washing in now and then think about watering.  Oh, and eating I suppose  :unsure:  Mrs B

I was going to put the laundry out but it just started to hail. I am completely unimpressed.

Well since I treated the counters in the kitchen and they are still tacky and unusable that means I'm going to sit in my stinky house and feel grumpy until they dry and the hail sods off.

Yesterday we made a batch of John's raspberry (our frozen raspberries) wine which is bubbling away to itself very happily, I made 2 loaves of bread in the slow cooker. One white one wholemeal and we have fish out for the tea. Or pizza. I just need to make sure there is no bluuping of sauce onto the units. I'm going to try and find a good recipe to cure a pork shoulder for tomorrow.

Shift this, or at least make a start, some for the garden & some to the plot. Plot is 5 or so minutes away, garden I have to go up 4 steps to the lawn area & then another 2 to the top border & chuck it over the raised bed wall. Maybe get need a lay down later.lol

Looking forward to finally getting some of the tender plants into the greenhouse/polytunnel. Happy days... also I might need a nap or two as neighbours son seems to come to life just when I go to bed and neither he nor his computer appear to have a volume control!!!

Just walked the dog, got some ironing to do (probably not).  Lawn needs to be mowed, and some weeding done.  sow some runner and French beans, pick some rhubarb.  Perhaps sit in garden with some lunch and a glass of wine.  Today's the feel of a 'pottering' day.

...pop the beans in everywhere, and dig out a wide edge for the sunflowers...

Also, start the hanging baskets, pot on some nasturtiums and look forward to a beer at noon...

Yesterday was a big tidy up session at home for the front garden and greenhouse.   Tender plants now mostly out of the house and in the greenhouse to grow on.

Today is plot tidy and then cook a roast dinner  :)

I decided to get the courgettes, butternuts, pumpkins, aubergines, peppers out into the greenhouse before I awarded myself breakfast as it was nicely warm enough for them even though it was early. 

I'm having a break from tidying up kitchen cupboards and working on what I fancy cooking for the week. I've not had any nasty surprises. Except that I'm not sure I'm making the best use of some of the space.

So far I've tidied, hoovered and walked the dog before the rest of the house rolled out of bed. Face painted son to look like a husky (??)and escaped outside!
Thankfully it's raining so I didn't need to water, instead I hid in the polytunnel trying to get it better organised. Potted up a few flowering pots to dot round the place.
This afternoon I'm going to pot on the Tomatoes and cucumbers, sow more lettuce seeds and prick out pots of sweet William and Aubretia.
