Today started with taking the last builders bag of prunings to the cowp. I helped one couple lift up theirs and empty it..a bit of a job as it had been a bush with small prickly holly like leaves..and he had rammed the bag full!! Then they gave me a hand with mine...being half full of honeysuckle that was less of a job!!
Fill four bags with free compost then back home!!
It was a beautiful morning, fairly warm with a light breeze...time to go for a walk eith a bag and a box...I got a few elderberries for the box, and filled the bag with apples..These are not too juicy, but add a certain acidity and stop an apple juice blend from being excessively sweet. They probably help it keep better as well
The front of the sole if one of my work shoes had come adrift this morning. After foraging walk, a brief lunch and slightly less brief rest I headed back to Ayr on the 3pm bus...as it, as forecast, started raining!
First stop the Wee Cobbler for shoe sticking, which he did for £2!! But also pointed out that they were "on their last legs"..and because of their construction a whole new sole when it came to that wouldn't be possible. Bother!! So for now they are for the studio only, no walking or even gardening.
On to Lidl to replace the sugar on the larder shelf that had gone to make the last batch of chutney. While in the shop the wind and rain arrived with a vengeance!! Another customer commented that his fishermen friends in Girvan were staying in harbour for two. days!!
Back home to "decompress"...make and have a quick supper...write a blogpost...do a leçon and bed!!
Talking of blogger...the following/reading list is back..but does yours load slowly too?

My reading list regularly tells me that no one has published any posts (like none at all for years and years...) Shame about the boots but I hear you - I've hot glued mine at times and it hangs on for a while. Even well made ones can be impossible to repair when soles wear - the material resists having new soles stuck to them.
YES, my blog feed loads very slowly and often lies and tells me there are no updates. So I just click over to another feature like "Comments" or "Posts" and then click right back to "Reading List" and behold! the blog list appears. I sure hope Blogger resolves that issue in due course too.
Blog feed is playing up again.
I’m sure they now make shoes that can’t be repaired.
There is one cobbler in the area and he’s been here for as long as I have. Nearly forty years.
He has repaired many of my shoes. Most now just aren’t worth it.
Stay inside and stay warm and dry
It's good to have the blog reading list updating properly again . Hope it stays that way.
I've found shoes seem to fall apart inside rather than outside now and nothing to be done about it.
Sorry you got caught in the rain. I see a lot of applesauce in your future. My reading list is erratic and I'm glad I finally bookmarked people. It rolls and rolls, seems to buffer for ages, then tells me no one has posted. Then sometimes, if I click on the empty page it shows up. I give up trying to understand!
Alpacas and dragonflies! WHat a landscape..
