Saturday 24th November ‘07
I’ve decided that it’s going to be easier to keep this up-to-date if I load new stuff once a week and write things by hand in a note book during the week as I get more time to write away from the computer.
I’ve been working on a radio project this week so haven’t had much time to do things around the house, it’s gone really cold as well so my fingers keep going white whenever I’m outside for more than a few minutes. Mother says I should eat more ginger.
I haven’t managed to get another bed sorted so yesterday I potted all the left over plants, there’s still five bunches of brassica to go out plus a bucket of spring onions. I’ve been saving all the bunches from the waste veg sacks to help brake up all the brassicas and they seem to be doing well. A while ago I ordered some free strawberry plants from Kitchen Garden Magazine, they’re really nice plants with really good root balls.
T&M sent me a £5 voucher so I’ve put a seed order together; they’ve got some climbing courgette plants, which I’ve ordered.
Lidl have quail meat in as a Christmas special, I don’t think I’ve seen it being sold anywhere before. My eggs are due to hatch at the end of next week, I tried candling (not with a candler) them the other night but the shells are to thick to see anything.
Sunday 25th November ‘07Dougan and Mooman both went today (for beef.) I’ve been trying to think of something to write about it other than that one little line.
There seems to be a fair amount of wind fallen wood around, I collected a boot full of wood over the past couple of days without even really trying.
Monday 26th November ‘07My eggs hatch at the end of this week! I had a weird dream the other night, the eggs were hatching but some of them only had their legs out and when the chicks were out from the shells they were falling straight through the mesh onto the heater, which they can’t do, the heater is in the lid of the incubator and the mesh is to small.
Back at work today, yesterday was my last weekend off until Christmas, the first market is Saturday.
I’ve started putting together a meal planner; it’s not as easy as it sounds.
