Things are getting busy. I had a couple of hours off work on Tuesday morning to clear the garden of the worst of the debris that had collected over the winter and take it to the tip.
Wednesday evening.
I was able to re-use a vent cover that was taken from the house when the old gas appliances were removed to use as the outside cover of the vent on the shed. A little bit a elbow grease and sand paper brought the vent cover up like new. The shed got the insulation fixed to the underside of the roof together with a clear out. Using up the insulation cleared a good space as did moving the black plastic off-cuts I had been saving. I tidied up the garden to bring the remainder of the shed things, that could not be thrown out, into a single pile which the black plastic came in handy to cover up. Whilst moving the remains of the old shed I distrubed a mouse. He was not quick to get away until I reached out to touch him and even then he sort of wandered off. I guess the cold was slowing him down. The next plank I turned over had a huge Toad pretending he was invisible. I took him up the top of the garden and put him under a log. I hope he sees it through the next few months.
It H's birthday on Staurday and we have a bunch of visitors over the weekend so no Shed work or allotmenteering although I have to see the Potato men from Newal about the Society's potato order and I might get a chance on Sunday to plant the Willow, Hazel and Hawthorn. My Dad is coming down so it will give us something to do. I have two large buckets of horse manure to go in with the hedge. I must not forget to get some blood, fish and bone from the Potato men. I also have to find time to fit a piece of glass in the Greenhouse. I broke it the other evening.
It is the Allotment Society Annual General Meeting tomorrow Thursday 23rd Feb 06 . With luck someone will take onthe position of Secretary which I currently hold. If I can keep them on track I should be enjoying a couple of pints of Guiness by 20.30hrs. We shall see!
