After reading about your day, I'm embarrassed to say how little I've done. Hope tomorrow is better for you, SC.

I was in a semi vegetative state yesterday too. Nothing was done outside because of showers and wind, housework didn't appeal. As P is sort of out of action , we both watched daytime TV. The Saint was one of the programmes. I had a passion for Roger Moore in my youth which was slightly rekindled, the prog was very much of its era but oooh he was gorgeous.

If you’re going to watch daytime TV. You can’t go far wrong with programs like the saint . I definitely approve  . But I prefer Sean

Sean was a better Bond, I agree there. Where are the heart throbs of today? I can't think of anyone I'd be prepared to 'take home to meet mother' among the stars of today. A younger Hugh Jackman in Wolverine guise comes to mind though. Jason statham will do for me. Even he is knocking on a bit now, but aren’t we all.

Have you two cooled down now? 
I've been warming up in the GH - picking tomatoes and chopping back the foliage. Still more toms to harvest. 
Yesterday I emptied a load of out of date Oriental leaves seeds, like Mizuna, Pakchoi and some others with odd names, into a jam jar, Gave it a shake and scattered them in the one remaining bed in GH2, The other half of the bed had already been scattered with old lettuce seeds. There's some chard and beetroot in there too.
I filled a small, windowsill size planter with old compost and transplanted some lettuce seedlings into it. Also in GH2. My plan is to have some salad leaves to pick every day through winter.
Cleared up some branches/dead wood that was blown off the trees yesterday. Most of the apples are on the floor too but there's a limit to how many windfall apples I can deal with at a time. They'll have to stay for the wildlife.

I’ve watered my GH lettuce but that’s it for gardening.

Cut the lawn and then hung the washing out in that order, so I didnt have to dodge the washing while cutting the grass! 
Something else to add! I was given a RING doobell off my son as he had upgraded to a battery type! I fitted it whaile ago but beause it was in a coner I was getting half a wall in my pictue! I odered a special wedge which would tilt the doobell to one side so I was missing the wall picture. It just aived 1/2 hou agao so I fitted it.
I now have a doobell with a view of my doodtep,motorhome and my tractor fully functional with no wall in view! Happy bunny!

I did some washing too. Good day for drying.
Spent some time in Veg Plot 1 - the old pond, Not much of a Veg Plot this year - its completely overgrown with brambles and other weeds. Don't think there's any water in there now either, so, all in all, its not much of a pond! It'll be clear by spring, in case any frogs want to move in.

Hid from the rain and no work on house, can’t make dust while paint is still tacky.
