After a long rainy night, it rained most of the day, with added blustery wind. Not a day for outdoors!
A day for a bit of this and that...a sale to pack up, work to list, business cards to make-still by hand as I haven't found the programme on the computer that does a sheet of repeats.
Doing them by hand was quicker!!
Half a small carrier bag of windfall plums got destoned and cooked and they are now in the freezer in four small boxes, ready to make crumbles and pies with some apples.
Pirate managed to work out how to use the gizmo and fixed the bottle cage to my Hobbs road bike and I helped construct a mudguard from two pieces...three pop rivets and some glue and there we have free mudguards!! Now those jobs are done, the bike has returned to its usual home ...we can't have bikes in every room in the house!!
The plan is to ride the steel Hobbs for most of the year, but in the wetter colder winter weather ride the aluminium Giant. That won't rust!
After tea I double"glazed" a kitchen window with special plastic cling film before bringing in some of the house plants from the greenhouse. The pelargonium, avocado and money plant are still in the greenhouse for now, the latter has been there all summer, but the other two are getting a bit too wet outside now!
I printed an item and price list to go to the exhibition tomorrow, plus a history/artist statement and contact list. All that needs doing now are labels.
Pirate is cleaning a pair of tandem wheels that we hope to sell...keeping the wheels going round, metaphorically for us and actually for whoever buys them!! It's not the nicest job linked with selling, but it means that you can show the item at its best..and get a better price! Some things that get posted on fleabay are grubby. How can you tell the condition if something is like that?
So good clean items, good crisp photos and accurate descriptions should mean hassle free sales.
No more work tonight..a quick risotto with veges from the garden, blackberry and apple crumble and the Women's Tour on the TV!!

You two are always so busy you wear me out!
Our avocado tree has just moved from the garden into the glasshouse for autumn then as it gets colder, it then will move into the lounge (by the window so it can look out[!!] and see that the weather is rubbish and being inside is better - yes yes I am nuts!)
Yes, a good clean post gives a good, clean sale.
I leave all the patio plants outside here until we get a freeze warning. Then I bring in the vulnerable stuff. I agree, though, everything is a bit sodden at the moment.
