Thanks mum of 3! We are pretty enthusiastic, can you tell??
We were back down on the plot again yesterday, we got access to the plot at 11am (they havent had any keys cut for us yet and are still waiting for some to come in from those who have surrendered their plots, so we were a little hamstrung), and stayed til about 230pm, when we went off to get a gate key cut (took 3 attempts to find a key cutters who had a blank in stock and were open!), so we can now get on anytime we want!
We got about the same area cleared again, so just under half the plot cleared of standing weeds, the shed and rhubarb are fully visible now!! Not bad considering we've only really had 8 hours down there so far! Wish we hadnt had to go out last night, as we'd have stayed til it went dark, but its probably a good thing as it stopped us from doing too much and not being able to move today! (I can feel the muscles in my back, legs and arms, surely this gardening must be doing my fitness levels some good! )
Mr Dobby is off tomorrow (lucky beggar), tho the house is such a bombsite that I think he is going to be spending most of the day tidying up (yep, he is very well trained! lol! - Actually, I work about 55 hours a week - if you include travelling - and he only does 3 13 hour shifts, so gets 4 days off a week, so he has much more time than me and doesnt mind doing the washing and tidying for me, bless him!), but he may well decide to take advantage of the good weather and get off down the plot instead! Whatever he decides is up to him, tho I do know he is chomping at the bit to get down to his plot!
Sorry no piccies to post, I forgot the digital camera (oops!), but will take some on Tuesday (my next day off) both to show where we are up to and how much we get done then!
Both still thoroughly enjoying it, the sense of acchievement when you look and see what we have done so far is great! May even have to persuade hubby to take another plot when we have this one sorted out! (Well, gotta figure a way to keep him busy somehow! lol!)
Anyhows, more to follow as we progress further!
