    1.3m?? That's rather a lot! (but then I guess you were in the mountains! Or was that 1.3m at home?! Hope the chickens escaped if it was!!) :D

  • Aw thanks RT this extra daylight really makes me happy, work conference doon sooth so not a minute to spare, hows those bargains looking. and cheery the snow was in france, cold here, well not so cold here today. But no snow.

    Spends yesterday £8 hair dye B1G1HP in boots
    Pet supplies £10 in B&M which seems to think spring has arrived and is full of gardening stuff.

    Great group meeting yesterday with new faces, always good. I missed my sessions when in france.

    Fish and barley for tea yesterday was yum. Made pasta whilst the stove was on and took out the reduced stew which I need to make into mince.

    Two eggs yesterday, one so far today. Must bed hens again later and do more logs.

    Two more large bags wood collected and a free pallet snaffled from the local ironmongers who have a rather nifty box outside the shop with bruck/help yourself stuff in it.

    So there's a bit of wood chopping on todays horizon.
    And some paid work, maybe only an hour though already done 6 hours this week.
    And some cooking
    And potentially some cleaning.

    Time for a cuppa first, kettle is whistling away.

  • Cheery aren't eating out of jars the new posh way to do things :)

    Beanie I'm looking around the kitchen thinking, decluttering, yes that might be a plan.

    Stoves on but taking an age to heat my porridge. Off to search for jobs whilst it matures.

    :)
