Normal Stuff

Jetlag can be a really positive thing. Like when you wake up thoroughly at 4am and remember you forgot to put the bread on. By the time 8am came around it was piping hot and ready!

I am enjoying being home very much – trying to get into a few little routine tasks.
My garden welcomed me home by not remembering that it is actually winter –

Bliss

The tomatoes at the back door are doing remarkably well

Slow of course but steady – and you can’t expect too much at this time of year! Its all a bonus

The hothouse tomatoes look about dead, but have a bit of fruit in there… will have to clean that out soon.

My main garden?? (Big Sigh)

I think it might have gotten away from me! That will keep me out of mischief on the sunny winter days do you think?

Plenty of parsley
Before

Yesterday’s weather wasn’t too bad – so I made a start on the patch that I want to put the garlic into

After

Then I got tired and it started to rain so I quit for the day… but not before pulling out a bunch of beetroot!
Will pickle ASAP – still loving that with my evening meals

Today I spent the entire day in my PJ’s.
But I did manage to bake a cake…

Simple tea cake

I also took the hint from Pip and put away my bags – I think he feels more settled without the bags out and the possibility of his mum disappearing again!

Bedtime for me! Only 9pm and I am falling asleep!! Weird!
Hope everyones week has started well!

Cheers!
