    Love the end of year goal @rachmac3 you've made such great progress. 

    How big is the shed job?

    Massive job for me to empty it, it's still got stuff in it from the previous owner and my stuff on top. 
    The guy who was meant to do the roof said it needs new roof support beam thingys. It's a concrete shed with a broken door and corrugated roof. I need it to be secure (rodent proof) and waterproof so I can store some of my father's stuff in there while I sort through and sell it.
    I haven't contacted anyone for quotes. I've had a ridiculously lazy day.
    I have applied to close the T credit card though.

    I am eating labneh made with free olio yoghurt, and dipping free olio rye sourdough into it. Glorious!

    Rolled in Za'atar and covered in olive oil (free from the house I'm sitting) if you fancy a bit of drooling while you're googling! 
    I had a quick taste, put it away, then got it back out five minutes later. It's not going to last the weekend but I was hoping to do some moonblush tomatoes (free from the garden here) to go with it tomorrow.
