You can't have too many strawberries IMO Danny. BTW how's the new job?

Hi Jen

New job in no more, unfortunately! Was a bit to hard work for me, will look for something in the new year

Understandably Danny, also shift work isn't easy, but you gave it a try.  I would hate to have to find work at my age, but you're a lot younger. Best of luck.

Not surprised you left, Danny, too much walking for most people I would think.
More time for your Plot.

One of the guys at the allotment seems to have a new/different job each week. I asked him how he was getting on at his most recent job and he told me he quit. When I asked him why he said it was because "They didn't include me when they went for a Macdonalds at lunch time!"

These big companies work their warehouse staff ragged, such is the price of cheap online shopping. Amazon is particularly bad, I believe. Even supermarkets are squeezing staff more and more trying to reduce their costs to compete with Aldi/Lidl, cutting staff numbers and expecting the remaining workers to do more work for the same pay.

Quick visit to the plot today...

Finished 2nd strawberry plot, also tidied the asparagus bed and mulched with a layer of comfrey.
