And there is a variety of reasons for this.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>it took longer than I was expecting to dig over the first raised bed that I needed to clear.<\/li>\n<li>the framework of the bed needed some repair &#8211; and so I had to sort that out<\/li>\n<li>I found some crops growing in there &#8211; leeks I think from some seed that I might have planted last year. Only baby leeks but leeks none-the-less, and so they needed careful handling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And if that&#8217;s not enough to be going on with, I&#8217;ve been &#8220;revisiting&#8221; the sites that I have already cleared of nettles and brambles. Each time that I see something new growing, I pull it up.<\/p>\n<p>I also am slowly advancing around the garden area as I clear it from generic weeds such as the aforementioned nettles ad brambles. I&#8217;m making huge progress with that and it&#8217;s all looking very good, but it&#8217;s taking my time to do and distracting me from clearing the raised beds.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, one of the raised beds is clear and it has garlic growing in it. Only another three to do this week &#8211; shallots, onions and leeks are destined for those. <\/p>\n<p>But in something of a record for recent times, I knocked off work at &#8230; errrr &#8230;. 19:42. It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been out working that late, and enjoying what I&#8217;m doing as well.<\/p>\n<p>Talking of records though, this morning though Liz and I were recording the Radio Anglais sessions at Marcillat-en-Combraille for Radio Tartasse. We\u2019ve finished talking rubbish &#8230; <em>&#34;sez you&#34; &#8211; ed<\/em> &#8230; and so we\u2019ll have to think of a new subject for May\u2019s programmes.<\/p>\n<p>I had a bad night&#8217;s sleep last night though. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s evidently a mouse or two that have been hibernating in the wall of the house &#8211; finding their way in by means of the place where there was no plasterboarding in the bedroom. Of course I fixed that a few months ago and now that the mice have awoken, they can&#8217;t get out of the wall and so go running around inside trying to find a way out.<\/p>\n<p> So at 04:00 I was rudely awakened and had to listen to them clog-dancing around the ceiling for hours. <\/p>\n<p>I wish that they would hurry up and starve to death or something.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-266 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='266' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-266 lc'>+3<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-266 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='266' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-266 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-266 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; anything like as much as I wanted to in the garden today.
