Friday

 Good morning, all.  After a nice sunny start, it is now lashing with rain although Beeb tells me that it is just a shower and the late morning and afternoon should be lovely and sunny.  Hope so - it was really nice earlier.

Yesterday also turned out very pleasant indeed and I got down to the allotment and finished off the chipping of the paths and so on; I was so pleased as I hated to leave it half done.

It looks good and ready now, doesn't it?  I just (just!!!) have to keep those pesky weeds under control now.
And mow the grass!




In the back garden, the bulbs are looking very pretty indeed, brightening up the space beautifully.

Everything went according to plan.  I had a great chat with Chris and the Slimming World Zoom meeting was really good fun.

Today there's nothing in the diary this morning as Jackie can't make our chat today.  In the afternoon I have my return visit to see the dental hygienist and I have no idea what they will entail.  No needles, no drilling, so I'm OK about it.  I will just make sure I use my toothbrush and little flossing brushed to great effect beforehand.

Assuming all is well and the weather plays ball, I will probably stop off at the allotment on the way home and put in some time on the weeds at the back, around the shed and the table and benches.

Have a lovely day, everyone, rain or no rain.  Keep safe and be happy.  xx

Edited to add - the seed potatoes arrived yesterday, three cheers!   I will get them all out in trays today or tomorrow.  They're going in the shed for now.

  1. Give yourself a pat on the back - the allotment looks great after all your hard work!

    I hope you have a good day and are having better weather than us. It can't make up its mind and changes from sunny to heavy rain repeatedly, and now the strong winds are back!

    1. Thanks, Eileen.
      It's cheered up after some heavy rain this morning. Very gusty and rather cold. A great drying day!

    1. It is nice, yes. Very pleasant. A little less wind and a bit more warm would be really lovely. Here's hoping.

  4. The allotment is looking fantastic! All that hard work is really showing. You have started off the growing season really well nice and early now just to keep on top of the weeds!

    1. Absolutely. That's an ongoing battle. Just as one lot dies, up comes another lot and those resistant weeds - ground elder, bindweed, etc - Oh, well, I can but try! :-)

  5. Looking good, Joy. All your hard work is paying off! Do you own the allotment or rent it?
