Alison is working 8 - 6 today, so an early start. I dropped her off down the road and then Joseph got the bus to school, with Bridie then taking Maria to dance and on to work. By 8.30 I had the house to myself and a long stretch to get on in.
After a breakfast, cooked by Alison for Joseph on his 13th birthday, there was plenty for me to clear away followed by hoovering, tidying in general and a long dog walk with both Rag and Juno.
I drove to Verwood and stopped to fill 4 bags with manure and collected another two on the way to W allotment. Lovely sunny morning again. Watered a few things and then picked lots of tomatoes, a butternut squash, chard, spinach and runner beans.
Once home I roasted beetroot and carrot before pickling them and also made two tubs of tomato sauce using the bounty from the morning.
The car got a good clean and the dogs another walk. Joseph arrived back after a good day at school and has an evening with Andy to look forward to before heading home. Maria is staying at dance till her singing lesson at 6 and then acro between 7.30 and 8.30. Incredibly long day!
I'll collect Alison for 6 and then head out to WM allotment on the way to collect Maria at 8.30. Time to make the tea now and plan ahead for tomorrow when I have a similar day with Alison working but Maria needing collecting at 3.30.
It might be a beach day!
