Two of our friends popped by unexpectedly just after tea on Friday evening. So we sat out in the back garden for a bit, then took them down the allotment for a look around. I got carrried away with the organic cider. By 8pm I'd drunk 2 bottles and was drunk (it's strong stuff - 7%). We came home and watched half of the film Submarine, but Chris fell asleep so I turned it off.
On Saturday morning we went to pick up my new bike. I got a Giant Revel 2 in grey. We took the front wheel off and brought it home in the car boot. It was raining though so I didn't go out on it straight away, but Chris had a little whizz round the block to check it was OK.
On Saturday evening I went to a BBQ with my mum (she asked me to go along for some company). I didn't know many people there and it was a bit of a drag, full of lots of 'straight heads', well, that is, people who probably think I'm odd for not being the same as everyone else. To be honest I was glad to get home. I purposely wore a long black witchy dress, ha.
On Sunday I set off for the allotment about midday and stayed there until 4.30pm. I gave everything a mega weed, feed and water. We've invited our friends around for a lunar Lammas BBQ next Saturday, and we're going to harvest the corn and have a get together, so we want the allotment to look its best for our visitors. Chris strimmed the overgrown paths and I filled two beds with leeks.
I treated myself to two books off Amazon - Marcella Hazan's ‘Essential Italian Cookbook’, which is very thick and comprehensive. I've already picked up a few tips. And I got ‘Off Camera Flash’ by Neil van Niekerk which I haven't really looked at yet.
I also ordered some oils from Neal's Yard - vetiver and a de-stress blend of ylang ylang and neroli. Mmmmmm.
