                      I had intended to spend a decent amount of time at the allotment as the forecast appeared to be dry. I'm still waiting for it to stop raining and its now 2.30pm.
                      Exciting jobs for today therefore include:
                      Sign tax form and return to accountant
                      Speak to next door about needing to turn off their electricity (see below)
                      Phone Northern Powergrid and re-arrange appointment to change house fuse as they couldn't do it last week
                      Vast quantities of paperwork and shredding (useful for hotbin)
                      If I get a chance, harvest beans, carrots and blueberries for tea.
