“What’s the score?” asked Terry
\n“Brico Depot has some interesting stuff in the arrivages<\/i> that has caught my eye but it’s big and bulky, and we need to be there early”
\n“I’ll bring the trailer then”. <\/p>\n

I hate to tempt fate by making announcements about things that are outside my control but if this comes off it won’t ‘arf be a stunning development for round here.<\/p>\n

So where was I? Ahh yes. <\/p>\n

\"rendering<\/a>After the usual couple of hours on the web pages I went outside and spent a good deal of the afternoon putting the second coat of paint on the rendering of the lean-to.<\/p>\n

You can see what the rendering was like prior to the painting if you look at the bottom left-hand corner where I couldn’t reach. I know which one I like better.<\/p>\n

That took me until 17:00 when I went off and attacked the garden. <\/p>\n

Clotilde gave me some of her lettuce thinnings yesterday and so I weeded and hoed a few spaces in a couple of the raised beds and planted them in … note to self – when I thin out the leeks, send some round to Clotilde in exchange …<\/i> and then gave them a really good watering – not that they need it of course in this weather.
<\/p>\n

After that I checked on the carrots and beetroot that I planted a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be doing fine and so I planted another row of each. Certainly covering the sowings over with old caravan windows seems to be the way to go here<\/p>\n

That took me until 19:00 when I knocked off. Thoroughly exhausted – you’ve no idea how much like hard work all of this is.<\/p>\n
