Best wellyboot forward. Pips frugal edible garden adventures.

Dinner was lovely apart from the one major flaw of being too full for dessert! Probably a good thing though, I haven't eaten sugar for over six weeks and a slice of Rob's Orkney Fudge Cheesecake would probably have sent me into hyperdrive for at least two days

Hey CAZ - I'm always too full for dessert - never a bad thing! I'm glad you had fun.

happy anniversary

New blog on fushia hacking back here sadly for you all I wrote my 'happy' things down and writing haivers daily is one of them so there you go. No rest for the eyeballs.

I'm away for me brekkie.

Admin to do and some work.

Dry the now a quick brekkie (eggs thanks lasses), plan for tea (fish from last night?) and a scamp with the hounds.

Must do something with those brambles, even if its only freeze them.

No waste on my watch.

(Hopefully)

HM lunch scoffed
Dogs scamped
Checked out local area's shops/restaurants 4 notices for help required in windows. SO I guess when back from holiday if I do want a wee p/t job I might find one locally.
Also found the local notice boards where folks advertise local services in a few of the wee villages.

Fingers crossed all positive.

Scored some free kale when I bought some tree stakes/fencing posts.



All grand.

I love Kale, very good for boosting energy i find.

Love it when I've had it but never survived up north due to pesky winds.

However, as I'm currently feeding the entire cabbage white population of the UK presently I hope it survives here too.



We have raindrops the size of dinner plates here.

OK well maybe only saucers.

Time for a cuppa I think.

I must strike more off me list.

What's for tea oh fabulous MSE ones?

Fess up.

Keep meaning to pop in but i'm always on a train and it doesn't work!

I have a second stomach for pudding too

Good plan on the interview lass. I am doing so much travel for work at the minute and it really is exhausting, and that's on trains where i can snooze and read and eat. Takes me 2 hours to get to the office and i'm never going to have another job that far away again!

Mucho respect to folks who don't mind, and i can handle it a couple of days a week (which is what i usually do) but not every day. Shame about cheery job buy something proper suitable will arrive on your doorstep very soon i'm sure.

oh! and i meant to say about breakdown cover - ours is £60 for the year with homestart and everything from RAC through Autonet. don't know if that's any help! xxx

Hey cheery how lovely to see you and thanks for the lovley advice there much appreciated.



I hope you get a rest soon! I think one of my main issues is that I have plenty of passion for my field but limited ambition. I wandered around the cheery nursery today (plants NOT people) thinking how I'd enjoyed just plowtering along propagating. I'm happy to do that at home as a job too and a cheerful p/t job to get me out would do me a bit of good too like you say something will turn up.

The dogs and the chooks wave hello.

We've decided on roast dinner pie. (the royal we obviously as the hounds don't cook)

I've got some 41p pastry defrosting (not THAT much of a domestic goddess in the summer when it can do its own thing and I can garden)

And all the odds and sods from our last roast dinner, meat/veg/gravy the lot.

Twill all be lobbed in a pie tin presently.

I'll hide the wrapper and dust myself with flour to get proper extra points from TRG for treating him so well.

No telling right.

Hi Pippi that pie sound lovely. TRG will be mega impressed. My DH on the other hand will be completely underwhelmed as I have no idea what's for tea and no motivation to make/decide anything either.

Sounds like you have a better idea of what you want now job wise. All you have to do now is "make it work"
