    A timer set for 15 mins and see what you can do, then have a rest.

    Managed to get 1 veg bed covered in semi rotted compost. Slow and steady etc The chooks came to keep me company and had a good scratch about.

    15 minute bursts are good taxi.

    2 veg beds covered with the stuff out the compost and turkey shed. Got my eye on a rotatable compost bin that's on ebay. Absolutely gorgeous day here, 2 loads on the line and another in the machine.

    Gammon in the slow cooker and DD1 making her brownie, yum!

    I just put it in with some water, bay leaves if I remember. Save the stock to be used for soup but be careful as it can be salty.

    Had a day off today. Went to larger town and got the DDs some new clothes. I struck lucky on Dotty Ps as they had a sale on. DD1 got 2 new tops, a dress, a pair of jeans and DD2 got a pair of jeans all for £45. DD1 also got a pair of shoes and a new boulder holder, though in her case its more pebbles!

    Back in work tomorrow and then off again on Friday. Not sure if I mentioned that we were given some hens and 2 cockerels? 1 of the cockerels is, I'm afraid to say on borrowed time. He's quite noisy and seems to start at 3am and crows every hour. Not sure how much longer OH and I can put up with this.
