… tea \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

New potatoes, beans and carrots straight out of the garden and into the vegetable steamer, all cooked with all my own surplus electtrical energy. <\/p>\n

Then a veggie burger, onions and garlic fried in a mustard sauce with the vegetables and tipped, for the first time in I really don’t know how long, onto a plate.<\/p>\n

No eating out of the saucepan for me tonight!<\/p>\n

Yes, a meal fit for a king – with all of this surplus electrical energy from the glorious day that we had today, I had to do something with it. Cooking sounds like a good plan, and it’s one in the eye for my critics back in the UK.<\/p>\n

I was up early today but somehow I couldn’t find any motivation for the website – no idea why. I’ve not advanced very far along the fortifications of Qu\u00e9bec today. <\/p>\n

\"collapsed<\/a>But outside I cracked on and I’ve done quite a bit. Tons of progress today.<\/p>\n

So much so that before I restart on Monday I need to take down half of the scaffolding. The half nearest the fence is now totally surplus to requirements so I need to remove it.<\/p>\n

When that’s out of the way I shall rake out the soil to remove the stones, bits of cement and so on, and so I can kneel on the ground and finish off the last rows on that bit.<\/p>\n

You’ve no idea how much I’m looking forward to taking down the scaffolding. There’s been scaffolding there of one sort or another since 2002 – that’s how long I’ve been trying to organise this lean-to. <\/p>\n

Give me another 7 or 8 days and with luck the scaffolding will be gone completely.
<\/p>\n

It’s still rather sad though. This week I should have flown out to Canada for the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival at Fredericton. <\/p>\n

But like I said the other day, if I do that, and then go back out to Canada next Spring too, this lean-to won’t be started again until next June and that’s far too long to wait. <\/p>\n

I’m pretty-much determined that I want to finish the outside before I plan any trip anywhere. Finish it all off this year and that will be that – one of the most important projects around the house all finished off<\/p>\n

So, where shall I go to in October? That is, of course, always assuming that I will have finished this blasted lean-to by then.<\/p>\n
