What an absolutely gorgeous day again today! We've been threatened with storms since yesterday but nothing has materialised so far. Hopefully it will rain this evening to give the newly planted veg a bit of a drench otherwise I might actually start to have faith in the hosepipe ban.
Productive day for me and The Woo. Took her mum and dad out for an airing to Asda this morning and bought a replacement gas canister for the Sodastream; amongst other things that is. Then home for a bite to eat (for me that is as resident greedy b*****d!). Early afternoon we mowed the grass at the front and weeded the drive. Looks a lot better now and noticed that we have ten young gooseberries on one of the bushes. Nothing showing on the gojo berry yet but the bush itself is thriving!
Then disappeared out back for a bit of patio weeding, chickenopolis cleaning, re-potting and tinkering with the raised bed we're looking to build behind the apple trees at the bottom of the garden. It's the site of an old pond that was filled in as a safeguard when Jack was born (children and ponds DO NOT mix!) and is full of some really good soil and compost. Will update you all as it goes...very much a work in progress at the moment and all I really did today was cut out some of the old lining. Had great fun feeding slugs to the girls, though. It was hilarious watching them squabble over what is obviously a very tasty morsel indeed.
In for a second bath of the day due to an outbreak of grubinness and then a bit of a chill before I cracked on with some food. Nice and light again this evening. A bacon and courgette pasta simply made with a bit of garlicky and spicy tomato sauce and some lovely al dente linguine. Bellissimo!
Ciao, seguiti!
