Memory Lane, 3rd January 2023: Christmas T-shirts
Gifts from my children. And so appropriate that it’s almost a shame to wear them when they might get damaged 😀
Feeling a bit low
As I posted yesterday, this was how the current compost heap looked on Sunday evening. I threw a bit more stuff on and today buried a couple of dead rats in it, but having had forty-eight hours to get going, … Continue reading
Get it while it’s hot!
As we put a lot of material into the compost heap this weekend I thought I’d check the temperature. I really ought to find some convenient way to use at least some of that heat, but this far I don’t … Continue reading
Quick! Mow the grass!

More grass to the compost
And my son’s GCSE notes, as it happens. Poor weather is forecast for tomorrow so it was a major rush just to get through a first cut of all the grass today. But we managed it. Sadly, whilst I was … Continue reading
The compost bins will now start filling up
Despite the fact that it’s still more than a week to the start of April it’s become necessary to start cutting some of the grass which has grown ridiculously long over the mild Winter. During the same period the compost … Continue reading
