A couple of days of messing around, sometimes in the garden, sometimes with friends. Called over to the new neighbours yesterday and she offered me a cuppa, then realised they had no power, so she came to mine and we chatted for a bit - they seem really nice people - what a relief!

Sunshine and showers alternating mostly and last night a few fairly solid dumps, though they only amounted to 8.5mm altogether. The various seedlings and seeds in the garden seem to be coming along nicely, and i noticed that a few lettuces in at the school garden have self-sown with gay abandon so I will lift a few and bring them  home.

Delivered worms and flyers today and then came home for more dog walking and messing around, then tonight I am having lambs fry with bacon - it is all prepped - just waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I have access to the largest frypan.

The pan of similar size is outside, having had something burnt to its bottom (a cheaper pan, so a thinner bottom and i forgot). I am hoping that we will have a frost tonight. The last frost shifted a fair bit of the burned on material and this one should finish the job. When it is nice and icy I add boiling water from the kettle and the rapid expansion cracks off what has not already been removed by the differential contraction of the burnt material and the metal.
