Still cold

I am not getting anything thing done on my plot at the moment. Getting the new allotments is taking up all my free daylight hours at the weekend. This weekend I had to demolish the old fence that divided the old plot from what was the plantation and is now the new allotments. Since last weekend when we got the rabbit fencing up there was no way into the new area without climbing a fence. It only took an hour so to get the rails off and stacked and pull out the uprights. Most of the time was taken up with cutting the rabbit netting off the bottom rail.

Pete turned up and back filled the foot of the rabbit fence which was wet and sloppy work. I cut back the top of the posts and now the fencing is complete. I still have the remnants of my cold and being out in the cold had me huffing, puffing, coughing and spluttering.

Sunday was very cold again and I was exhausted from Saturday. I ran Lucy to work then did a few jobs round the garden at home and a few jobs in the house. I still have to work out how to support the step over Apple tree and how to prune it. One on roof panes in the Greenhouse is broken and it is the most awkward position. I managed to repair the spare PC and re-jigged the house PC. I even managed to fit a part on the cooker.

H came back from her night out with the Rothchilds' ladies. We went up the lottie to get some veg and for H to have a look at the work I had done on the new area. We also had a look over the ex-coal board area which is adjacent to the Societys' plots and has been reclaimed and landscaped over the past few months. The contractors finish in a week or so.
