… tonight too. <\/p>\n

Not for any particular reason (it wasn’t all that cold and I wasn’t planning on cooking anything) but it just seemed like a plan.<\/p>\n

And it was a glorious day today too – not a cloud in the sky all day. <\/p>\n

First job, now that I’m on winter hours, is to cut wood. Some out of the lean-to and some from off this big pile that I’ve been moving around from one place to another. <\/p>\n

That took a while, especially as I was interrupted by a phone call from Percy Penguin, who doesn’t feature in these pages half as often as she deserves.<\/p>\n

But now that I’m a little-better organised … &#34ahem;" – ed<\/em> … I can spend the usual 15 minutes per day on the wood.<\/p>\n

After that, one job I’ve not done for ages is to replace all of the batteries in the ancillary equipment. I put a pile of those on charge and then went round changing everything. <\/p>\n

We now have tons of stuff working that wasn’t working before, even including the projector clock. <\/p>\n

This afternoon saw me tidying up some stuff (yes, honestly!) and then working on the bank at the back of the hard-standing – pulling out the overhanging rocks. <\/p>\n

As for all of the soil, I’ll shovel it into the back of Caliburn one of these days, and move it somewhere.<\/p>\n

In the verandah later I made a mega pepper-and-lentil curry, which should keep me going for the next short while. <\/p>\n

No more courgettes though – the frost has done for them. \u00a0<\/p>\n
