Yet another cold morning after a freezing night!!
It was warm enough by lunchtime, and I gave the car a run to Ayr..it is running nicely! Shopping and feeding the car done, I did some research at builders' merchants...I have a decent price for heatproof boards.
I've been doing some research as to how to site and install the stove, ie how far from everything in the workshop...you have to trawl through a lot of words to find what you need. You'd think that it would be simple!!
I need to think if there is anything else I need , to bring the bill up to £100, then I get free delivery...saving £20.. possibly paint for the outside of the kiln shed ...
What I do need to do is to talk to my friendly wood stove man to get the details right and buy some fitting "bits and bobs"...
Gradually getting back into gear... remembering that I'd put opened jars of jam and pickles in a cupboard that stays cool even in hot weather (I turned off the fridge while away)...of course after I'd opened fresh ones ....
The garden is looking a bit sad. The greenhouse growing side is clear..
But the things on the bench need a different home. No rush yet as it is too cold to start anything.
The green manure looks like it didn't survive the winter temperatures...it looks a little warmer tomorrow so some weeding and covering ground could be on tomorrow's list.
All these jobs....lining up to be done...and it feels that you need to find the first one, then things fall into place, like a row of dominoes!!
So many different jobs calling for attention and I can't concentrate on too many at once!!

This time of year is like that, when there's so much to do with the change of seasons!
I’ve been doing that here. One job leads to another and by the end of the day even though you have been busy. It doesn’t look like you have accomplished much at all.
At least I know that my cupboards and kitchen draws are no clean and organised
Busy as always.
Single-handedly, you are making great strides to achieve many projects. I'm impressed.
So what you're saying is that you're going to be eating a lot of jam and pickles over the next little while!
I have trouble getting to all the jobs that need to be done.
The greenhouse at work is a really warm (solar heated) one which is great when it is a cold winter, but at the moment everything in it is romping ahead, the cold frames are full and the weather is still not reliably warm enough to plant out - it happens every spring.
My greenhouse at home is an icebox - nuff said........
A little.. and it was heartening to see that they kept well in the cold cupboard..oh for a proper larder with the slate cold shelf!!
Here along the south coast I have started my growing season, there are a few weeks difference in the start dates from north to south.
I think that's going to happen when the frosts and icy mornings start here in June/July, last year my cabbages did not like the cold.
