No dig diary, 28th May 2021
We’re still eating the lettuces that are growing in the polytunnel, but I’ve had to remove the Webbs Wonderful as they ran straight to seed. I think given that the ones I planted last Autumn rotted inside over the winter … Continue reading
Swimming, 28th May 2021
For the first time that I can recall there were five people (including myself) in the fast lane today, but the difference between the fastest and slowest was probably ten seconds per 50m which made for a bit of a … Continue reading
Swimming, 27th May 2021
I was very pleased with today’s session. Everything just seemed to come together for the 50m reps and I managed four below 43 seconds, with all but three of the rest below 44 seconds. And even those three weren’t exactly … Continue reading
Swimming, 25th May 2021
My 50m set went pretty well today, though it felt as though I was pushing quite hard. I ended up with six 43s reps and all the others below 45s. I didn’t get as much recovery time as I’d have … Continue reading
Swimming, 24th May 2021
I’m sticking with my current set for another week: 20 x 50m on an 85s interval recovery 25m reps on a 60s interval until I run out of time I seem to struggle with Mondays, but today was much better … Continue reading
No dig diary, 21st May 2021

Swimming, 21st May 2021
I wasn’t expecting too much today thanks to another night where I didn’t sleep as well as I might. Perhaps there’s something about going to the pool with limited expectations. I did have a 45 second 50m rep early on, … Continue reading
Swimming, 20th May 2021
Well, today was a tough one. I didn’t sleep well last night and struggled to find pace today, probably coming in at about three quarters of a second slower on the 50m reps and a little under half a second … Continue reading
No dig diary — the plot so far
Just as a bit of a catch-up, here it is. Potatoes in the bed closest, carrots under fleece behind them, with sweetcorn and squashes near the far end of the same bed. Beetroot, spinach, peas for shoots and parsnips in … Continue reading
On the strange weather patterns that afflict us this year
So many of the things I planned to do over the 2020/21 winter failed to happen because the ground was so wet and the weather sufficiently unpleasant that they became impossible. The clogs I wear outdoors became lethal because they … Continue reading
