Nearly finished reshuffle number 37 in my other shed. I've got my stabilising set up finally how i want it. Vac pump, vac chamber, kitchen foil, toaster oven...Even if it does look like a meth lab :funny:
Turn pens they said. There's not much to it they said:funny:
Also had my first go at making a hybrid blank too. We'll see how that turns out:pray:
Really should go to bed, but I'm about as tired as a quality control officer at Nescafe :nooidea:

Send some of your rain over here we are in drought down here. Early Autumn signs the trees have had enough no moisture.

Well I did get into the shed today to drill and glue up a pen blank then it was a case of working on the patio dismantling some pallets to expand the wood stock I like to recycle. Still have some more to break up it is surprising how much good wood you can get out of a few pallets.

I'm sure you'll all sleep better knowing that this coming Sunday at 10 o'clock my seed potatoes, onion sets & peas are going to be delivered :nooidea: well I'm excited :thinks: so much so I grabbed a crafty morning today digging, preparing the ground for said peas & onions that is until I ran out of lime :down:

Turned my attention to the greenhouse after that & fitted the racking I've been making for it.

Wow you could get a huge shed on that bit of land :thinks:

and it would save on all that back breaking gardening or farming in your case :whistling::whistling:

Nice plot Doug and saves money which can be better used on tools. When we had an allotment we saved £150 just on the potatoes, yes we sat and worked it out

I'm ahead of you there Billy, though the shed will be for storing timber rather than anything else as there's no electricity :thumbs:

Can quite believe that Derek I only had half an allotment last year but we didn't buy any potatoes for 7 months & we are still eating leaks, parsnips & carrots from last year.

Charly is coming tonight to spend a weekend with us.
Her last weekend with us I fear, as she is off to live in New Zealand with her mother.
I'll try and do something constructive with her and get her on to say her farewells here.
My back is giving me some real grief at the moment, bloody sciatica all down the left.
Burning bum and no mobility in the leg hope it goes to spend some quality time with my eldest granddaughter.

oh Brian, is that a permanent move?

If you don't get her on, then wish her the best.

I hope your sciatica goes as well, it would be very sad if you couldn't enjoy a bit of time with her.
