Been doing the garden bit by bit. Yesterday planted peas and spinach in beds, and tomatoes, chillis, peppers, lettuce, coriander and parsley in pots for planting out later.

Feels like it but the sun helps! And beer of course. In moderation

We're growing herbs in a planter and also my hanging basket is an ongoing project because it has to be overflowing and beautiful but it's still at the just flowering stage.

My main project is to not eat all the chocolate.

We need to fill our log stores.... we use several tons every year. We started off with Ross in a chainsaw bib cutting firewood in the forest and Suzie loading.

Then we got bored, took off our clothes and sunbathed!

Inbetween work, decorating the living room and plenty of gardening. Its the weather too I think? Though finding out you havent got that last piece of essential timber, or enough paint is slightly annoying...though in the grand scheme of things fairly insignificant.
