Spuds

Unusually, 30% was up early this morning, and was keen to get on with her day.

After breakfast we divided and conquered. She started out in the garden,* whilst I headed out with Hobson and TB for our walk.  It was definitely an early start, as I was back home a little after nine!

On my return we assembled, with tools, in the vegetable patch and spent the rest of the morning planting three rows of potatoes.** I appreciate that it is a little late to be planting potatoes, but, in my defence, I have only just got the ground ready for planting, and 30% found some bargain seed potatoes whilst out shopping.  I did a little research on the internet, and it seems that I should get a crop ... time will tell!***

I had a short snooze after lunch, before 30% and I moved a small, vacant chicken coop that sits alongside the garage. 30% has been informed that the tree fellers will be here on Monday, and moving the coop will give them more space to fell the tree and pile up the wood.

I then headed out to the workshop, where I spent the remainder of the afternoon on my carpenter's bench project. I can now report that the tenons for the cupboard doors have now been cut. They now just need a little fettling to ensure a snug fit in the mortises.

There is still no improvement in my blood glucose. It is still going sky-high after meals, so my evening was punctuated with regular checks and repeated injections. I'll be increasing my long-acting insulin again this evening.

* She also nipped out for a short walk with Whiffler and The Rat

** A row and a half of main crop (Desiree & King Edwards) and a row and a half of second earlies (Charlotte and Wilja)

*** I have planted potatoes in late July, and these gave a small, but welcome, crop of new potatoes in time for Christmas.

Post Script

We should have been out this evening, to see Mark Watson at The Huntingdon Hall in Worcester.  30% kindly added an event to my calendar to ensure I didn't forget. She also checked through her email and other apps this afternoon for the e-tickets.  She even made a call to the Venue to check... as it seems she had got the event in our diaries, but had forgotten to actually book the tickets!
