Breathing deeply

No, it’s not the shame of breaking my promise that’s kept me away, although I will admit to feeling a trifle embarassed. It’s just that I’ve ended up being even busier than I thought I would what with work and chores and more work and celebrating people’s birthdays and even more work and Italian revision [...]

Well, almost

I know, I know. A broken promise is a broken promise. But hear me out. It’s true I’m not down the allotment and have decided not to go, but I did, at least, get up - at 5:30!! I know. It’s a huge disappointment for you, you’ll never be able [...]

Nose to the grindstone

Back to work today. Joy. Or something.
I didn’t get down to the allotment before work, but then I did say that Friday was probably the better bet. I did, however, get up a fair bit earlier than I would usually on a working Wednesday as part of my cunning plan to become [...]

Living in hope

I’ve not been able to get down to the allotment in ages, what with going away, having work to do (how inconvenient!) and also having my Mum and brother to stay. This means that there’s been something of a hiatus in the progress of the sheet mulching and I’ve also not been able [...]

The best laid plans

I woke up this morning at 6am to the sound of rain drumming loudly on the roof (our room is currently in the loft). Very heavy rain.
So much for continuing work down the lottie today.

ESP

I know what you’re thinking.
Well, obviously, I don’t actually know what you’re thinking. I do not have electronic mind-reading abilities, that would be a bit spooky. I am not Derren Brown (and he really is a bit spooky). But I suspect that those of you who are regular visitors (that would be [...]

So sow

Having just checked the weather forecast for our part of the world over the next few days I can say with a fair degree of certainty that there won’t be much going on down at the allotment this weekend.
It looks like we can expect spells of ‘By ‘eck it’s nippy!’ followed by periods of [...]

Blogging as reward

Not procrastinating today. I’ve really been getting my hands dirty (metaphorically). I’ve been very productive and am allowing myself a brief break from further slog as I’ve been such a good girl.
It’s still a bit galling that I’m not able to escape down the road and mucky my mitts for real especially as [...]
