I'm really enjoying my garden this year :j
Dwarf bean, corn salad, rocket, lettuce, pak choi, beetroot, carrot, coriander and chervil seeds sown and sweetcorn x6 and courgette x1 planted out
I forgot to sow some more mixed salad leaves so that is a job for tomorrow along with earthing up the bag of potatoes and I also need to pot up my padron chilli seedlings 
SFG spreadsheet updated :T
Mr MWC is making a green vegetable (pea, asparagus, flat bean, mangetout, wet garlic) risotto for dinner and I've opened a bottle of chablis :drool:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Today has been a spendy day:
A 70-mile round-trip to have my haircut - unfortunately it appears that she cut out all the brown hairs and left the grey ones
:rotfl:
I also popped into the lingerie shop and bought 2 bras (£41 each :eek:). According to their database, I last bought new bras in 2010... oh the shame
:o:o
And I popped in and had a cup of tea with my dad

There's obviously been a dearth of nominations for our inaugural department excellence awards as a reminder has been sent out and the VP has even said that self nominations are acceptable.
It just feels wrong diddly wrong wrong to nominate myself but there is a cash prize up for grabs...Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
