Thanks for the correction @spec no spells only smells

Oh thank goodness for that Can, and here was me thinking that's why Sc grows so many different chillies for spells, it quite a relief to know you meant smells
On a more serious note is there really a distinct difference in smell between the different chillies.

I have fed the birds three times today and actually had a visit from a group of long tailed tits, that's their first visit this year and evedently going to be cold again tonight as there is a feeding frenzy with the birds at the moment

Bit of a lazy day due to the weather.....

An hour over the plot this morning tidying the crap zone.

This afternoon started treating / painting the new pallet collars

Untangling and putting up last years Christmas lights. Found out why they don't  recommend leaving batteries in some of them. They had corroded but I managed by a bit of scraping,poking and wedging to get all sets working. Lots of housework and hoovering before and after.

Moved my delicate varieties of mint into the polytunnel , as we had snow over night .

Wheres the snowman?

Continued to clear the "crap zone" at the plot.
 
Scavenged some windfall apples, going to make a jelly for my porridge
 
Took a trug and some new plastic tower shelves over to the plot shed, will tidy the shed Monday.
 
Layered another 1/3 of the bean trench with food scraps and spent compost.
 
Prepped some pots for the wild garlic I’m expecting.

Sowed some cactus and mountain cranberry seeds

Spent most of the day putting lights around all the shrubs in the front garden, which is now looking ok

Got some turf and logs in, the mounted a wedding anniversary present on my patio pergola.
We are 40 years married on the 20th December and one of my mates that I grew up with who was at my wedding arrived up during the week with this sign for our anniversary.
