Busy cleaning

 A blustery day....strong enough to dry the grass patch at the back so that I could push the mower over it. Half the cuttings were taken by the wind!!

Then a picking of beans....



Duolingo lessons..still going....I find some tenses confusing, but I'm building vocabulary.

Then a day spent cleaning bike stuff!

I now have eight mushroom trays, two small cardboard trays, and a small crate , all with clean and sorted bits, a small stack of mudguards and half a dozen handlebars with stems and levers that need sorting....

That is the living room done....a good start towards the Glasgow cycle jumble on the 13 September.

I also have wrinkly fingers after a day spent in vinyl gloves!!!

Your beans look great. Do you grow enough to preserve?
Your powering through the big clean up.

Lovely beans!
And a good job sorting all those bike parts. Good luck getting them sd, or traded.

I must say the Duolingo lessons are doing wonders. Your English is exceptionally fine. 😆

Lovely beans and a good day's work.

Well as the English they use is USA English....you end up learning two languages at once!!

Yes, I freeze beans every year

You must have had so much bike related stuff to sort through. Will you get it all done in time for the sale?

That bike parts exercise sounds like a sensible version of the mass bike wrecking I had to undertake last year. I had no bike jumble sale to aim for so so many potentially recyclable parts ended up going to a acrap dealers yard. Good luck at the jumble sale.

Beans look lovely. I pickled a few from the market,
Hares and Rabbits!

Well, it will be good to find homes for all those bike bits at the jumble!

Enough done already, and there is another at the start of next year in Manchester..one I've done well at before

Those beans would have won first in the flower show

I enjoyed competing in the village show when we lived in Garn Dolbenmaen...I won the productive garden prize twice!
