Thursday

Morning, all.  Five minutes ago we had sunshine but it seems to have wandered off for a while.  The forecast says 'light rain showers and a moderate breeze' so I guess it's going to be a bit hokey cokey all day.

Chris and I managed to get our garden chat - there were a few drops of rain but nothing to cause us to even think of scuttling for shelter and there was plenty to chat about.

It also stayed fine for personal training at Lindsey's.  We chatted about all sorts of things - I say 'chatted' but really she chatted and I puffed.

In the afternoon I went to water the allotment and came back with . . .


. . . to take to Dad's tomorrow afternoon.  A few of the potatoes are fork pranged but that's par for the course.
The potatoes seem to have done quite well this year.  We didn't plant a lot and we haven't dug many up yet so looking forward to the next digging!

Checking the diary, it just says Zoom.  That's the Slimming World Zoom meeting at five.  However, I have been procrastinating shockingly over the paperwork I need to do so that has to be top of the agenda today.  It's worrying me now and that's not good.

As well as that, there's the usual housework and allotment watering which I will probably do this afternoon.  It's not been too hot but the ground is quite dry what with the wind and thirsty plants, so unless it pours, watering needs to be daily.

And that's about it really.  Time to have a shower, get dressed and start in, I think.  Sooner started, sooner finished.
Be happy and safe.  xx

    1. They are Charlottes and one of my favourite potatoes. I'm sure Dad will enjoy them as much as I. xx

  2. Why is it - however careful - the fork ALWAYS goes through at least one potato?

    1. I don't know but either you fork up nothing at all, or you fork up potatoes and spike one. I suppose one could do it by hand (and glove) but what a hassle that would be.

  3. Those potatoes will be delicious served with butter?? When I first bought my own house after my divorce, potatoes were our staple diet, not grown but I used to buy sacks full. I learnt a whole lot of potato recipes but boiled salted and tossed in butter was my favourite.

    1. Sadly, very little butter. But I will boil them with mint and that's also lovely.
