Good morning from s somerset, chilly nights and it will feel like march today
I accidentally noticed that the forecast had changed, a potential for ground frost. I have never worked so fast to get fleecy covers onto small tender plants, ok I was too early planting tomatoes and courgettes and my dahlias were popping up and potatoes sprouting. I kept thinking about the old gentleman from the allotments, last year he told me about all the people who lost plants one may. I should have waited until late may. never again will I put tenders out until the end of the month
I was achy yesterday, my shoulders, so much heavy lifting last week but I have cleared a lot and my sun blocking umbrella is firmly secure even in strong wind.
I have ordered organic wheat grain to mill at home, not thinking about the secure container I would need. I sorted that and made space in my garage. I do feel inspired to get on with making sourdough more often, I revitalised my starter and it is almost climbing out of its pot today. I want to increase the quantity, to preserve it by dehydrating, I never want to risk losing it again
My hair is being cut in 3 hours and then I honestly need to have a rest day, not a sitting day but not a heavy-lifting day either. I`ll probably bounce on my rebounder at some stage. It is only a quarter mile into town, to my hairdressers but I tend to meet so many people, I always leave home earlier than necessary
Both Dds were on podiums yesterday, different events, one in Wales and one in southern England. One trail running and one mountain biking. Ds was living the happy life in Aberdeen, on the outskirts. Their recent move has been a great success
Two teenage dgd are studying hard for exams and dgs was on lifeguard duty this weekend. He still has not decided what direction to take in life but he is only 18 and is having a year out
Roll on steady warm weather with some rain
