Lethargy

My paid employment is a bit monotonous at the moment. Lots of answering emails with a template reply.

The daily routine chez nous is (1) go for a walk (2) prepare breakfast (3) go online and answer emails (4) go for a tootle on the bike to relieve the boredom (5) do a bit more emailing (6) tv (7) food (8) bed

It is hardly surprising that I yearn for something a bit more stimulating. The garden has come to my rescue. I am planting veg protecting berries and wondering why I never did this before.

We now have a vegetable plot, or three beds with an underlay of cardboard. This technique means no weeding before planting, just a load of compost some carrots, beetroot, broccoli, runner beans and some marigolds (to keep the slugs away). Clever stuff for the lazy gardener.
