Today = absolutely nothing (not even clearing out the plot shed between drips) as I'm back home waiting for the "11am to 3pm window" to expire before phoning again.
 
Presently still hoping to recieve a new NEFF oven ordered before Chsitmas.  ::)
NEFF, apparently, were unable to supply the model we chose due to "global shortages" of the components.  :unsure:

platned strawberries from runners last year.  Covered some with a cloche to see if forcing them will help lengthen croping period and to keep the kids interested!!  Moved bird feeder again.

Turning and adding more paper to the compost bin it's a smelly job but someone has to do it.  :D :D :D

Mind you it's better than mopping up water from a leak on a washing machine that was only checked this morning by the engineer after he checked it last week and said it was OK? Seems the water flooding from the bottom of it has other ideas. Maybe 3rd time licky :D :D :D :D

Finished off nettle tea kettle, trying that after a few!!  Poly pin from real ale company with several layers of tea strainer mesh to stop bigger particles.  Working well and hopefully will please the plants :-)

Took delivery of new polytunnel then had email from council offering us a bigger plot.  Went to view it and decided to go for it.  Luckily we have only levelled the ground on our smaller one and this doesn't need that.  Going to spend the next few days moving all the wood for raised beds into new plot and erecting polytunnel...hopefully, eventually, THEN can actually plant our first crops  :ohmy:

Yes, good timing really...unfortunately no well on the new plot but it also means no well upkeep  :)
20m x 10m approximately but they say still not big enough for a couple of chickens ::)
