That&#8217;s early for just recently but still quite late compared to when I was away. But then I was walking miles and climbing thousands of feet then.<\/p>\n<p>And awake before the alarm too, which was quite surprising seeing the distance that I&#8217; travelled during the night.   <\/p>\n<p>I was on my way back from Austria last night and after a while the road signs and the names of towns started to change into French. I thought to myself that this can&#8217;t be right &#8211; I should be in a much more Germanic area still. And so I turned to the north and up there the names and street signs reverted to German and so I thought that this was better. <\/p>\n<p>But I found myself wandering in a maze of corridors of a very large and very expensive hotel. But this maze of corridors was probably the service area as the walls and doors were of a very inferior nature. But then I found the foyer, a huge glass and steel area. In the distance below was a large industrial town and the tps of the hills in this town had been flattened to make sports pitches. <\/p>\n<p>There was a row of three of them and what looked like football matches were being played there. I wandered over to have a look. The first was indeed a football match but it was women and children playing. So I went to the second, but this was a handball match between two mens , teams. And then I was in a quandary &#8211; do I waste time going to see what was going on on the third pitch or do I go back to the match on the first pitch? after all, surely it must be nearly full time and if the third match isn&#8217;t a football match I would have wasted all of this time for no good purpose and wouldn&#8217;t have seen any football.<\/p>\n<p>So after breakfast we had a couple of hours on the computer and then outside<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1403\/1403319.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1403\/1403319.jpg\" alt=\"lettuce raised bed gardening les guis virlet puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>And here we have it &#8211; the first gardening photo of 2014. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve finished weeding and digging over that first raised bed. It took hours but there it is. It&#8217;s had potash added and that has been well-hoed and well-raked in. And ow it has the 11 (not 10) baby lettuce plants added. They&#8217;ll do well there.<\/p>\n<p>It might even have some potatoes too &#8211; I&#8217;ve pulled dozens out from there, all of them germinating, and I&#8217;m not pretending that I&#8217;ve got them all about.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve started on the second bed now? The bean frames have been dismantled and i&#8217;ve made a start digging it over.
