What's happened since last time was here?
Loads. Christmas was sort of cancelled as mum and dad couldn't travel. Saw some good bands - Buck and Evans, Stillmarillion, Last in Line. Saw some good and some bad DCFC performances but now everything stopped. So have watched all of Breaking Bad, El Camino and have started on Just Call Saul.
Have got loads of stuff going on garden wise but am a little behind on the lotty. Hey ho same old, same old.

Dogs walked. Lots of potting up. Also got me runner beans in old MacDonalds drink cups - not single use anymore! Also planted cucumbers, courgettes, cauliflowers, sunflowers and much, much more as the saying goes. Put up a mini fence along side the front lawn. All good. Took Big Lad for a three mile walk which was nice.
Sunday 5th April 2020
More potting up. BBQ at dinner - bit of a fiasco - takes 45 minutes for briquettes to be ready - remember for next time!! Went and did a bit at the lotty. Had four things on my list - decide where runner beans going, get a bed weeded and ready, mow all round, got a mini row of beetroot and radishes planted, brought pea guttering back home - all done in a couple of hours so all good.
On way home saw a massive red kite really low which was nice.
Monday 6th April 2020
A full days work. All interesting stuff. Went shopping for me mum and dad, drove it over to Darley Dale, sorted out Kindle for me mum. Drove back, did Andy Bill's online pub quiz. All good stuff.

I think DCFC should have been playing West Brom today. Ruddy Coronavirus. Anyway did a load of pricking out of various flowers then went to Lotty. Cleared two beds. Planted spuds and peas. All good.
