By the way I've been on a tour of our local waste disposal facilities - woo hoo! I know how to live! All very interesting though and much better than landfill.

Woohoo a real payslip, congratulations!

Aw visitors with pumpkin muffins and all. How exciting. Thank you chaps - a payslip for doing what I utterly love feels very very nice. OK so its around the same as my PhD stipend, but hey lets look at this as a learning experience, you aint in a garden for the pay.



For all of you who danced. I salute you!

Nice busy week at work, good weather if really cold. We've had a productive week. Lifted lots of veg and done a fair bit of winter tidying.

Also ended up with half a bridge (decking) and loads of offcuts of wood from the maintenance chaps. I am now known as 'wood wifie' - random piles of scrap wood seem to find themselves to the potting shed. All fab in my mind. So half a car load this week and a couple of parsnips have come home as a bonus. All fabby.

Meal plan next and some chores, need to do a winter clear up in my own garden. And, lift the last of the tatties.

Hope you're all well.

Off to raid the freezer and make a list.

Might pop over to chums (wood) and mothers (more logs) - can you feel a theme here.

Good morning MSE chums one and all I hope you're happy and well.

My plate arrived (book, veg picture) so I'm taking advice from lady at work who has the knowledge and the soooperdooooper scanner. Book plate is much bigger than I expected and totally gorgeous, once scanned it shall be under a nice frame too. Imagine someone drew all of that in 1928 and its still so beautiful.

Think print would be best underglass given the smoky kitchen on occasion (see wood love above) - thanks RT for the advice from himself although I'm looking at 'washable print canvases' that might work too and I'm so ordering that jigsaw.

I'm still AHG as HG is still off sick, which is a bit odd but not unphasing, which in itself is a bit unphasing. IYSWIM.

Time for some brekkie. Pancakes anyone.

EH - yes those over the pond ones :P

Freezer finds.

4 x duck breasts
1 x chicken
1 x steak for stir fry
googalplex of fish
1 x prawns
1 x sausages, bacon and more lardons.
2 legs SR lamb

Think we're Ok for meat aye chaps

Bottom of the fridge (BOTF) veg soup is on the go, you know those bendy ones. It will eventually be lentil.

Also doing a BOTF pasta sauce with some left over lorne sausage (not my fave, visitors brought it) and some leftover chorizo and the trinity of course (carrots, celery, onion) and garlic.

I have to say kitchen is smelling a bit lush.

Well done on all the free wood! I need to get my act together and start buttering up some local builders in the interest of building up our woodpile. And I want to make some nest-boxes.
Your freezer is much more exciting than ours, which mainly contains gooseberries!
