On This Day…
Been an action packed weekend and my back knows it. Started off Friday night by attending Simon’s 50th Birthday Party in Romsey. There were at least a ton of people I know, so it was a good night, although I had to catch a train from there so was limited to the last one out at 11pm. that, I suppose, was Ok though as this coming weekend is looking like being a couple of late ones with Sue’s Birthday which is always late and then Stuart looking like he is hitting the town on Saturday night. The latter will probably firm up when we have the monthly ‘lunch’ club on Thursday evening.
Decided we would look to trim as many low branches from trees as we could around the plot. There are so many to do it’s not even funny but, we have managed to get all the ones down around the bottom shed and behind the bottom walls done. It took forever, not just to cut the limbs down, which is not too bad, but chopping them up and burning them took all day on Sunday.
I amongst tree chopping, I managed to unsuccessfully fit both a dawn-to-dusk light to the garage pier and an aerial to the bottom shed. I think I must have a wiring issue on the lights and the aerial, well I sense the signal down there may just be too weak with the trees and all, so we will try and borrow a signal meter to see and then if that says it is too weak we will abandon that idea entirely I guess, or just go with the fact that the snowy picture I have is as good as it gets?
Finally planted some herbs in the back border and some sprout and Savoy cabbage plants I bought down the road now I appear to have excluded Mr Rabbit. Hope I have anyhow, as I love Brussels. Also have started to harvest a few things in reasonable quantities, radish, leaves, mange tout, peas and the first few new potatoes, although they could probably do with another week, also cannot stop pausing by the chicken enclosure to consume cherries from the tree!
It’s a public Holiday in the US today after their Independence Day celebrations yesterday, so it should be pretty quiet at work this afternoon. Hoping to get quite a bit done today as I have a meeting outside the office tomorrow morning which will mean a half day out of a tight week. Still, let’s get it started…
On this day in history and last year…
