Ooh, Thank God For That

As you may have noticed, I’ve changed the colours and layout of the site. That green was just too bright on any other computer than mine, it seems, so apologies to those of you who tolerated it and welcome to those of you who have got through your migraines and decided to give it another go.

This “theme” (the preset layouts you can choose from) is a bit dull. I was aiming for tasteful - although sometimes I suspect the two words are pretty much interchangeable. Anyway, I haven’t got the time or energy at the moment to learn the html and do it all myself. That’s been added to the list of things to do when I retire (below “Try the cowboy-style riding again” but above “Do some ironing”).*

Anyway, it’s Bank Holiday Monday (notice how I resist the urge to shout, “Pah! Holiday for SOME!”) and naturally it’s bucketing down. But, strangely, I feel quite sorted and am allowing myself an afternoon off from the field/allotment/shed. See how quickly things start to slide? The framework of the fruit cage is up (It’s huge! The neighbours are looking forward to a barn-raising), the netting should be here on Tuesday and then I can finally – finally! – plant the last few things out.

All in time to start thinking about sowing some biennials for next year.

 

*Although obviously, if I do ever give up the day job, I won’t have a pension so will have to see my days out behind the “old, mentally-disturbed, or otherwise unemployable but statutorily required, six items or less (sic) if you want to get out before closing time” till at B&Q.
