It’s raining!
Only a tiny bit, but it is rain.
I’ve been doing a lot of weeding, again. Nearly at the end of the first big pass around the garden, so hopefully it will slacken off a bit now. We’re thinking that we’ll start to plant out the non-hardy stuff next week, weather forecast permitting.
After several weeks of being unable to buy sacks of flour (despite all the reports saying it was just a packaging issue with small bags), Mike managed to score sacks of white and wholemeal bread flour. The former we buy regularly anyway, but wholemeal doesn’t have a great shelf life: we bagged half of it up in 2kg bags and Mike very quickly sold it to people in the village. Interestingly, unlike the last couple of times he’s offered them, there was no interest in boxes of eggs, so I guess retail eggs are now back to normal. We have many eggs.
We had One Of Those Days in the week, or rather One Of Those Fifteen Minutes: I broke a joint on the outside water pipe (local out of work builder came and fixed it the next morning) and Mike dropped a bottle of balsamic vinegar on the kitchen floor, which went everywhere; I even found glass on the dining table. Not fun, but Bob seems to have learnt that, when things get dropped and smash, he’s to go and wait in the hall until we go to fetch him.
