What have you been doing today?

My mum bought Mrs Mottie a years RHS subscription with her about to expire Tesco vouchers. Mrs Mottie gets free entry along with a guest at all RHS venues. Today she dragged me along to a flower show at RHS Gardens at Hyde Hall in Chelmsford. We're back home now but I still can’t can’t stop yawning. Best thing I bought while over there - lunch!

Miss Mottie has taken Mrs mottie out for the day for a belated birthday treat. Some fashion exhibition in Kensington Palace and then on to a posh hotel for afternoon tea. I’ve just cooked a couple of frozen sausage rolls that I bought from Lidl. Not too bad, filled a hole and now I’m just going to binge watch telly all day in a recumbent position on the sofa. I might even fit in a snooze if I feel like it.

Any dog walking in this rain Mottie?

Yep. Went this morning early. No rain when driving over to the country park. Got there and it lashed down all the way round for the whole hour we were walking. Got back to the car and then it stopped! Not really a problem if you’ve got the proper lightweight breathable wet weather gear. I quite like walking in the rain, the dogs seem to love it too.
 
Got soaked going over the allotment to…….water some plants! It’s not been raining in my greenhouse.…..

Brought some more toms home and put them on to the windowsill to ripen.

* I didn’t grow the banana - it’s there to help the toms ripen.

Had another couple of sausage rolls. Miss and Mrs Mottie brought me home a few cakes from the afternoon tea that they couldn’t finish so the hotel boxed them up to take away. Got a little bit out of shape on the way home but they tasted just fine.

Enjoying my very slightly early birthday present...

Sadly, Marc Almond has cancelled, reason unknown. And Squeeze cancelled after one of them fell ill.
 
I retired from my training business at the end of June and just do the odd bit of consultancy and quality assurance work for another training provider. Just had a call from my regular client asking me to consider running my business with a new cohort for another academic year. I told them absolutely not! Said I’d consider working one more term up to Christmas to upgrade the quals for the existing students which will give me time to get rid of tools and equipment that I won’t need and generally tidy up my workshop and yard before putting it up for rental in the new year. They said they'd let me know but to be honest, I'm half hoping I don’t hear back from them - I’ve had enough of working - it’s seriously interfering with my dog walking, allotment tending, TV watching and afternoon naps!
 
Went shopping in Hemel Hempstead. Noticed a little shop selling 'mod' stuff, bought a 'Lambretta' T shirt and a pair of desert boots.
 
Harvesting. All harvested by a Brit. No EU nationals were needed for the pulling of those veggies. ;)
