I don’t bother with regular supermarkets, but a little later this morning I’m going to take a trip to Costco and stock up on some meat and fish. I should be there and back within the hour. I get in, get what I want and go. I’m a reluctant shopper at the best of times!

My back garden faces south west. I shall go and sit in the sunshine this afternoon and enjoy a cool beer and the glorious weather.

Easy Like Sunday Morning. I work some Sundays, which sucks, but not today. I’ve burn awake some time, but I’ve been reading and drinking coffee.

Back to the salt mine tomorrow. It’s been a pleasant break. My wife is working today, and I’m having a quiet day indoors by myself. She’s going out with a friend after work, so I don’t need to make dinner.

I got some watering done early, as it’s the best time to do it, and also it’s a job done. Alternatively, watering late in the evening is second best.

Here are some strawberries with one of our rose bushes, and grow bags containing four different varieties of potatoes.

I got in from work at 2.15 pm. I watered the garden, made a lamb stew from scratch, cleaned the kitchen, put all the rubbish out for the dustmen tomorrow, took a shower, and paid some bills. THEN I opened a beer and sat down. It was 3.25 pm. You can get a lot done when you put your mind to it.
