2024 - 4 Months of doing something different - Veggie - 01-09-2024
I've just had a trip down memory lane , reading an old thread (2021- 52 weeks of doing something different). https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.php?tid=760&page=24&highlight=challenge
In 2021, we were dealing Covid, Small Chilli started building her house, Pyrenees Plot became a French Citizen and JJB and I were muddling our way through the year. Its worth a read - better than watching the box.
I surprised myself by realising that I stopped drinking wine and using paper tissues in 2021 and I've not done so since.
It struck me that its time to do this again - starting this week, the first week of September and try to keep going until 2025.
Anyway want to join me?

I’ll play. Don’t know how much new stuff there will be. Hopefully some so I can join in.

Anything really that's different to whatever you usually do.

I'll see whether I can play with the big kids, although I'm so set in my ways it might be difficult to find anything different one week to the next. Being in IOW and actually using the internet is a surprise this morning. Sometimes I can, more often I can't.

My 'difference' is spending half my life in my motorhome with Kato and finding new places to visit. Eating has become very basic (mainly steak & eggs) as I cook all my food utilising the motorhome hob,grill or oven. I have ordered another air fryer fort o use but this would necessitate an EHU (electric hook up) on a a campsite. I am trying to utilise FREE parkups and am relying on an ap called Park4night which allows me to add co-ordinates to the sat nav.
At present the majority of my stay aways are three or four nights at differrnt places each night.
Its not as comfy sleepng in a motorhome with Kato (who snores and pants) and with the added concentration of driving a 3.5 tonne vehicle 6.5 metres long, I do need to return to my own bed now and again.
Yesterday I was at the top of Hartside Pass 'stopoveer' and had to reverse out over uneven terrain in among a couple of hundred bikers and boy racers with suped up cars in fog wind and rain. Not a pleasant experiaence.!Moved on and spent the night in a very pleasant spot next to the river at Stanhope.
My home, garden & allotment are taking a back seat just now,so maybe I need to curtail my wanderings,but I am loathe to do so!

Sounds wonderful, Vinnie. Enjoy it while the weather lasts. Your house/garden/allotment will be Ok for a while.
BTW, do you think Kato thinks the same about you - "He snores & pants!".
What you going to do that's new next week?

I think I will try and get some onion sets for Autumn planting which will help it from looking like a brown desert, and maye sow some broadies?

Week 1
New recipe
First and last attempt at battered fish in the air fryer. Edible. Not good.

Day 1. I'm running off on the bus to the zoo with another man (not P). Shock horror! It could be worse, it could be the Circus.
A friend in iow flats whose wife isn't feeling well sent her husband to see if we'd like to go to the Wildheart Sanctuary with him. I think she wanted him out of the way for the day. Unfortunately P can't walk that far atm (that's another story), so I'm going without him. I'm quite looking forward to it.

That sounds like fun, JJB. Hope that P and the abandoned wife behave themselves while you're gone.
