Soft focus. Had to be Elise Cat…. Start the day with a piss delivery to the quacks for C. Then onto the allotment. Water, weed and chat.

What I wore on a day off. Cycled to the allotment. Did a few chores, put the coffee grounds round the plants. Brief chats with a few people. Then cycle back, grab a pint on the way as I was sweating buckets. Home and quick change of clothes before C gets in from her day with Vicky.

A quiet joy – allotment visit and a bit of edging of the plot, some watering. And we have signs of life….. the plug plants have yet to die, spinach, pak choi and bush beans seem to be appearing. Add some oregano into the mix. Meet a few other allotment holders as I’m leaving. Think the whole early thing works for me but isn’t the most social of options.
Home and a shop with C, nip for a coffee along the way and a beer on the way back.

Something I bought

Nature’s beauty, bit of a rambling concept this one the constant generation and degeneration of nature, yadda yadda yadda! Lazy day, lie in, gentle amble via the chicken shop as we begin the Kidney friendly diet for C. Plan is some sort of Waldorf Salad for tonight. This is followed by a visit to The Coffee Shop.
C visits the ATM and then on to Iceland to view veggie options. Then Lidl. Wee pint in the Tom and Gerry and home. Cook us some scrambled eggs for lunch with a few mushies.
Salad works well and is popular with herself.
In other news, the work on nature’s beauty that will be this Roots allotment is gathering pace, still no idea where their site is but they are communicating with me at least!
Day off. Day starts with me taking the piss… literally to the GPs. Whereupon NHS IT strikes, they have to hand write the sample form because the printer is dead. On the way up a couple of photos. Need to look at them to see if they are prompt suitable. Jump a bus back home.
Herself off work, still recovering from Asthma attack. Take a wee dander to get a photo for tomorrow in the afternoon.
Pump up the tyres and sort rear reflector on the bike. Usual day off preparation for first early of the week.
In other news there is some movement on the Roots allotment situation. They’ve announced it will be 16 minutes away from Ashton… presumably by car, ‘cos perish the thought you wouldn’t have a car. As long as it’s reasonable cycle ride, I’m in! Looks like a £40 upfront then for a baby patch about a tenner a month. Not looking for anything huge, it’s not like I have a clue what I’m doing! As much as anything it’s a healthy thing to do on a day off for the old mental health.
