Aerated!

I'm  not aerated but my compost now is. I've been turning over the compost which loves to be mixed and have air added to it, I've added a few grass clippings and some egg shells, pea pods, carrot and potato peelings, cauliflower florets, broccoli stalks (first cut up) and soft strawberries and have layered those into the compost as I forked it back into the compost bin.



We have friends coming over tonight for dinner, hence the veg peelings but Luke is still struggling with the toilet cistern that he has been working on for about four hours now. Let's hope he gets it sorted before our guests arrive as we only have one loo!
I've yet to vacuum and mop the floors but the food is ready and hopefully tomorrow the sun will shine so we can spend our Sunday outdoors putting the featherboard on the fence and then - hoorah!! - it will be done; that side at least. It's been our Fourth Bridge, never ending, so it seems.
So today has been more of a clean up with me getting the front tidied, pots moved, the steps swept and the deck out the back brushed. Up at the back of the garden I have used the tiny ceramic pots to edge the back of the veg patch.

Footnote: the computer crashed as I was typing this up so I didn't get to post it till Monday but happily I can report the loo was repaired in time for our guests, the Beef Wellington cooked perfectly and we had two whole tablespoons of our own peas between four of us! Luke bagged up a load of our potatoes for them to take home and all was well.
