Morning all.
Jay22, really hope your OH makes a swift recovery. Must be terrible. I've never been a one for wearing gloves when gardening, but I pick them up every time now even before I've grabbed the tools I want to take out with me to the veg patch. So warning heeded. Big hug to you and your OH.
Managed to get half of the admin-type issues resolved yesterday. Bank, tick. One delivery (the most important one), tick. The rest are dependent on other people now.
So, today is a big day for me. Last day before a week of half-days only for paid work. And half-days of gardening. Absolutely perfect. Also, with any luck, I have new muck arriving. The last lot was full of thistle seeds, by the look of the weeds that have sprung up. So trying a new source: organically fed mustang horse poop. Not as cheap as the last lot, but well rotted already apparently. Mr Snoop is quite intrigued by the idea of mustang muck (we've decided to call the pile 'Sally' for obvious reasons). Bizarre story, though: mustangs went from Spain to the Americas and these ones have been imported back and are supposedly now the only ones in Spain. Plus, I've asked for hay from them for mulch. If everything arrives, my cup really will runneth over.
Got a lot to get through today, though. So better step on it. The smiles are very keen to meet Sally, apparently. So they set off sharpish and said they too would be on a half day today, so they might not hang around long at yours.
Have a great day. And here's a song to get your feet tapping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16u6w0cjjrU
