Walking down the garden, pulling a stick of rhubarb, cooking it and eating it for breakfast with granola and yoghurt.

Spending two hours by myself on the allotment. Perfect peace, because if I hadn't I'd be screaming right now.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

An oddly silent house. Apart from the chickens who're having a squawking competition......shurrup birds!
Getting a skirt pattern from an old dress pattern traced onto tissue, and finding a full set of French Curves and a Koh-i-Noor ruler on the 'Bay for 99p.
And that funny sunny blue stuff outside......very unusual and much appreciated.Jules

Forgiveness! (Something I'm not good at, I have to admit.
)
Firstly, the Dawg still loves me, despite being 'snipped' and having to wear a lampshade. I'm feeling less guilty today.
Secondly, the Chooks still love me, despite me forgetting to let them back into the inner run (where the coop is) last night, so they had to sleep outside on the grass under the tree.
It was so funny when I realised, this morning, and opened it. They all belted in, and tried to get in through the door to the nest-boxes at the same time. Well, you can imagine it, at least four chooks headfirst through a gap that only one chook can fit through at a time.
When I looked in the nest-boxes, the two large ones had one hen in each, when there's room for three. The two small ones had four in each, when there's barely room for two. Nutters.Last edited by Glutton4...; 01-05-2013, 04:40 PM. All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

A lovely walk in the sun with the dogs, watching the wee un run like a rocking horse. Tea made and chilling with feet up, a good book, glass of wine and Jools on in the background till OITC gets home.When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.Comment

An hour at the physio which means I can now walk without hobbling, and aren't cross-eyed with a painkiller cocktail Hope it lasts!
God bless all physiotherapists.Comment

Sounds great, Sarz, hope it lasts too.
My time is completely my own this evening. How very strange. I feel a seagull skirt coming on.....Jules

Seeing that my lettuce, beetroot and broadies haven't taken a hit in the overnight frosts. Nor have they been ravaged by slugs, although I did step on a big long fat yellow one today and I pretended it was Helen instead. I made her brains burst all over the slab

Ah, now, I was told to carry on gardening and 'being active', so I don't have to lie about itOriginally posted by VirginVegGrower View Post
I was quite lucky that the chap I saw has had the same problems with his back (not lucky for him obviously!) so he knew just what I was talking about
