It’s been a while since I last wrote anything down so here I am, having a day off sick, not feeling particularly creative and with very little to say actually. The end of the year is rolling around really quickly and everything seems to be revolving around work. Actually looking back on this diary thing I see that about this time very year I get sick and seem to be tired. Interesting.

I have rearranged the raised garden beds to allow us room to put in lower beds for potatoes and other main crops this year. Looks nicer as well. We have put in more fruit trees and I noticed they have started to put on buds so I’ll take that as a sign they are relatively happy. Starting to look quite good out there.Inside I have started stripping another door but came to a halt when I discovered it had been ‘repaired’ near the bottom with some sort of MDF board. Ugly as sin and needs a bit of thinking. At this stage it’s looking like we’ll swap it out for one of the doors we were planning on removing. We have also just put in a dishwasher which is already starting to pay off. Just have to get into a routine with it so we don’t have it on all the time or run out of things to eat off/with.

I have a new load of wine on. A green apple Riesling. It has started fermenting, something I always get antsy about with wine for some reason, so look forward to tasting it sometime in the future. Also have a new wash for distilling in progress. We have taken to somewhat social poker nights on Fridays at C’s new work. The spirits are welcome there and we’re all equally crap at poker so it works.

Back to school tomorrow…
