After some research we can’t use it with underfloor heating. I’m going to have the poshest shed floor ever
.
I did wonder about the heating as ours is backed with this sticky black stuff like tar! Don't fancy it melting every time it got hot. Apart from your posh shed, you could make paths in your polytunnel maybe?
IN came a bag of mixed toiletries and soapbags. I'll keep what I'll use and give the rest away. I'll be the sweetest smelling Veggie in the world.
An Olio collection this morning - 2 large trays of strawberries - about 25% were too squashed to be usable. Cooked the rest for the freezer.
Also bread, pancakes, brioche rolls, sandwiches, salad leaves.
£5 Pantry this evening - bought 2 lots so it was a £10 pantry! KFC chicken, braised beef ready meal, mackerel, chickpea curry, rice, pasta, 3 punnets of mushrooms, onions, potatoes, carrots, swedes, pears, fruit tarts, mini rolls and chocolate brownies, fruit squash, stock cubes and 2 dying orchid plants that will need a miracle to grow back. They were sitting in a bag of water (which stank) and all the leaves had rotted. From M&S apparently - another store that doesn't know how to care for its plants.
There was an Eco Fair in our little Village (it was a proper village before it was swallowed up into the City). I'd heard there was a random book swap which appealed to me. You had to take along a book, wrapped in something recycled, and put it in a heap with the other books and take a book in exchange.
I wrapped my book in a page from the Chiltern Seeds Summer catalogue! It was more difficult than I thought to choose an anonymous book although I could narrow it down because some had been labelled as Childrens, Sports, Biography, Chick-Lit. In the end I chose the only book marked "Non-Fiction". I was quite excited, like having a present, but I didn't open it until I came home. I'd make you guess what it was about but I doubt that even your vivid imaginations would be anywhere near it. .........Oh, go on then!! Can you guess the subject of the book?
Not going to be something as obvious as an autobiography. Did you actually manage to pick a gardening book?
No to both! Unfortunately!
Yoga, Joe Wicks cookery/exercise? There's a lot of those about in the charity shops. I think we need a clue.
Oh god it’s not physiology is it!
