Actually, it's more about gaining a plot as I've cut away two sides of grass to extend the vegetable plot. Poor Luke has worked up in his office the entire day so to keep myself busy I have been out in the garden. I've used the grass that I dug up to cover two bare patches between the conifers. There are so many weeds and patchy bits of straggly grass around the place that need tackling but everything takes time, doesn't it? We're getting through it all though - bit by bit.
I've planted up another lot of peas and given everything a darn good watering (I aim to water things at least twice as long as I think they need) but Sweetie found three dried peas in the ground which hadn't gone back into the packet!
Halfway through the day the heavens cracked and fat, warm drops of rain meant I had to move the radio, the books (which I never get to read but still take out with me just in case) and unhook the hammock. No sooner had the rain started than it stopped again and from then on the temperature seemed to rise a degree an hour.
At six thirty we sat outside with a cup of tea each whilst the chickens pecked around our chairs. A long chat to Jack before dinner and then this quick post and the day is done. A warm bath is my next port of call.
