Nice people thread 2 - now even nicer

Suddenly, with the frost last night, we're feeling vulnerable. :eek: It was still 20C +in the yard though,around lunchtime
Thanks to those chickens, my polytunnel is way behind schedule, and won't be up now till next May, so we face the prospect of turning the old pig sties into huge cold frames for a second winter. It surely can't be worse than last!

There's just so much to do! I wanted to spend time processing the apples, but instead, I ended up making a wind deflector for those blooming chickens. Now the westerlies/ south westerlies won't blow straight into their pop-hole.

DW managed to de-skin and freeze another batch of tomatoes. Meanwhile, I shot photos of the peppers, just in case they took a hit. We find a good, real photo sells more plants than any amount of recommendation.

Brought 2 chilli plants in the house and popped the overwintering onions in their modules today. Picking dribs and drabs of tomatoes now.
Last cucumber too.

Fingers crossed for another 2 weeks for the last of my summer squashes to get to edible size and the last few beans. Then it's all over for another year.

Apples...2 full trees to pick and process. And we have an eating apple that doesn't store well.

All you busy people. I sat on my bed today, eating chocolate biscuits and writing random fuzzy noise for the Internet.

Results today for writing fuzzy noise solidly for 4 weeks was: £1.20. Now ... scoff ye not.... this is residual income and the traffic/income grows as everything ages. I reckon what I wrote today will pay off £100 or more within 3 years... repeat that every day and what've I got? Bit of a good thing going on.

Started to diversify tonight too, as my volume diversifies I am finding new ways to promote my fuzzy noise. Heading into a new area of writing. I've no idea if any of this is 'valuable' writing, I've not done keyword and profitability research.... I am simply bl00dy enjoying myself.

That jelly last night never did reach setting point.

Today's first non feeding or animal poop related job is complaining to the council. We have not had one routine rubbish collection since moving. Every fortnight i phone up and complain, they send some one the week after. I've checked I put my bin in a suitable place and that its not got anything in it it shouldn't (apart from maggots: I keep my very small amount of food waste in the freezer till the night before its meant to go, but I won't put it back in if the rubbish doesn't go. Dairy cows mean lots of flies, flies mean they have about twelve hours to pick up the rubbish before ....yuck. ) This failure to collect the rubbish bin, and the inevitable maggots, mean I'm scrubbing the wretched thing every fortnight. ridiculous waste of time!

Going out now. Said I'd run the olds down to some local street fair thingy .... it's rubbish but it's market day and they shut the road. It'll be lots of gormless, fat people, shuffling from stall to stall buying nothing. Then back in the car.

Also popping into this http://www.kingsleyvillage.com/ on the way back for spuds, it's all terribly middle class and shiny in there, but the veg prices are actually cheap.

Ooh, you've been lying to us, Pastures - you are secretly posh after all. I clicked your link, and it looks v posh indeed.

Bet you eat ciabatta, too. All this stuff about beans on toast was just an elaborate cover, wasn't it?

We went to friends for lunch. The sweet consisted of a pastry case with tinned fruit in it and jelly made with the juice from the can. A layer of custard on top, sprinkled with hundreds and thousands. Talk about nursery food! But we all had seconds.
