      Not much opportunity yesterday as it rained for much of the time I had available. Managed to collect water and plant 2 tomato plants that were desperate, plus picked and froze a load of peas that have all ripened at the same time despite being planted at weekly intervals. Also ate the first 2 ripe raspberries.

                          • Going to cut the front privet hedge. Not my favourite job but I like to see it looking neat and besides, after emptying the dalek a few weeks back it could do with refilling.
