Luckily the younger Master M's extra music class was cancelled so we didn't have to get up and go. I decided to paint the walls on the landing instead and prepared everything before I noticed that we didn't have any paint. What a shame... I didn't exactly dash off to buy any, so I spent a few hours doing school work instead. I've only got a little bit left to do now and will leave that to another day.
Our house and garden are a bit sheltered but the allotment is very exposed, so when the rain had cleared I decided to go for a walk in the wind to see if anything had been damaged. The first thing I saw was this:
The window pane had blown down onto the ground but hadn't broken! As we don't keep a hammer and nails in the shed, I had to be a little bit inventive in order to put it back. Well, where there's a will there's a way as the saying goes. I attached the window with some bamboo sticks. Don't know how long it'll stay this way but hopefully a few days.
The plot looked a bit tired with one of the courgette plants uprooted and several of the rhubarb stalks torn off. The kale looked great so I picked some leaves as I didn't want to risk them being eaten by slugs and therefore not having any homegrown kale on the Christmas table.
I will blanche these curly leaves, chop them up and put them in a bag in the freezer ready for Christmas.
Even though it was really windy outside it was a refreshing walk to and from the allotment. Now it's time for Mr. M and moi to enjoy a cup of tea and a lovely creme patissiere filled bun.
I think I'll do a bit of knitting after that. I've started knitting a pair of leg warmers for Little Miss M. Her old ones are "a bit tired" and I fancy a bit of knitting after lots of crocheting lately.
Have a good day.
Mrs. M.
