Thursday: Day indoors today as I have a couple of envelopes of various tomato seeds to send to friends plus a letter to friend in Australia...want it posted off just in case postal service shuts down!

Friday: Day on allotment planned - moving everything off top section (sleepers, plants in pots etc) so I can make a start on clearing out weeds like docks and then start digging it ready for crops in the next few weeks.
