What have you been doing today?

I broke my compost heap down because it was in the way of my new shed. 6" below the top was lovely black humus which has now been transferred into some tough black bin bags. That will be getting used some time later this year or possibly next spring for the hanging baskets. The heap, when it was in use, was approximately 5' x 3' and over 3' full before taking the top level off. 5 1/2 years of grass cuttings, veg peelings etc and was teeming with big fat worms. Thankfully the slow worm we found in it last year has gone elsewhere so I haven't destroyed his home. (Have you ever tried digging in a heap whilst keeping an eye out for wildlife? Very slow work, especially when you have a female David Bellamy watching how careful you are! )

Well gwapple me grapenuts!

Well done. I’ve yet to break 100 miles on the bike I bought in 2014!

Went for my first free over 50 swimming session. 30 minutes in the slow lane was enough to start with - I’m aching all over now. I’ve cancelled tomorrow’s session as well as the Monday one.

As I came out of our new sports centre, I saw a typical scene that reminds me of a summer afternoon. A cricket match. I’ve been promising myself since we moved here in 1990 that I am going to get a picnic together and a couple of chairs and take the time to watch a match one day. I must do that this year.

Today I have been packing stuff I sold on ebay, then going to pick up stuff I bought on ebay.

Just got back from our dog walk. The bluebells are out in the woods.

You’ll end up buying your own stuff back one day!

Probably, got to take some pics and put some more stuff on, I have too much fishing tackle.

You're just a number, Bodd, and obviously devoid of character.

What brought that on?

Me having too much tackle ? I just wanted the best, so kept upgrading.

I keep thinking about selling all my specimen fishing gear - probably haven’t used it for 10 years or more but it would probably only go for a fraction of what I paid for it - Shimano rods and baitrunner reels, Fox rod pod, thermal suit and bed chair, Nash Titan Bivvy and Rod bag, Delkim alarms etc etc. I’ll probably end up giving them to my grandson if he gets interested in fishing.

I think he's referring to your posts with just numbers and no characters.

Fishing tackle is hot at the moment, stuff going for stupid money. It will sell well.

Cut the grass and watered my garden this morning. I then went over and gave the allotment a good soaking this afternoon. Guess what - it hasn’t stopped raining since!
