If I can get the shower, enclosure, tray and tiles ripped out tomorrow, I might have time to put the base frame together for the greenhouse too. How's that for motivation?

Change of plan - we'll tackle the shower and tiling next week, so today has been entirely dedicated to the greenhouse base. I started off with putting it together with bolts and of course it wasn't level. I spent an hour or so digging out soil with a hand tool to get it level. I've used up a fair bit of gravel mixed with cement to get it level, and it's setting now.
Tomorrow, with any luck will mean I can get started on the frame.

And fear not - we have had a new shower delivered today, which Jay will fit tomorrow, so we're not all smelly from all the manual work lol

Boot camp early doors then Rockfit later. Cool

When I got home I had some lunch then fitted a charged battery to my camper van which was parked down the street while I had my drive laid.

It still wouldn't start even with a fully charged battery so had to sort the starter motor (wack it with a hammer) and eventully got it started and driven to the front of my house. I then got the multi-meter out to try and discern why battery was draining after a few days standing. Still not sorted but I am getting thereSmile Just eaten half a warm foccacia I have made and am settling down to watch summat on the gogglebox! Rolleyes

Continued work on the "was 3 GHs" area - cutting down the brambles behind the frames and the wayward raspberries. Hard to believe that I used to grow runner beans and strawberries there once upon a time. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to rejuvenate the raspberries that are there. They look healthy but it need of pruning. You can never have too many raspberries. Big Grin

I haven't felt very well today, so have been hugely unproductive. I feel really unmotivated. Ended up crawling back into bed around 1pm and slept until 6. In an attempt to salvage something from my day, I have just sown three varieties of strawberries, (pre-sprouted) coriander, cucamelons, and phlox by the last of the evening light (my indoor sowing station is in the dining room extension where the inside lights don't really reach).

That has completely done me in. I feel very virally. Lateral flow test is negative, but I've also had lots of contact with people with Influenza and Norovirus this week. Hopefully will be back to full strength tomorrow as I have a lot to get done.

Take care, Pros. Gardening can wait until you're better.

I hope you can sleep it off Pros and not come down with anything.
