Another frosty sunny morning here and it has really got me motivated .... much more positive about everything. Woo Hoo. Ate well, exercised enjoyably and spent time in garden and greenhouse. My 100 in 10 are slowing visibly though but I will keep at it. Here are yesterdays:
OUT:
37. Two bucket thingies of compost from pots and troughs in greenhouse, spread on vegetable garden so we will benefit again when growing lovely wholesome food.
38. Old carrier bags from the cupboard under the stairs (and all the reusable ones in my world collection sorted, some put in the car. I always refuse plastic carriers now)
39. Lovely bunch of leeks, tied with a green ribbon, given to a Welsh neighbour for St Davids Day (and 4 eggs too).
IN:
Past-their-best apples (reduced) for the hens to cheer them up and thank them for their daily eggs.
Happy me!
Have a good day everyone.
