Sunny today so decided it was time to top up my tan at the allotment before the snow arrives.
The never ending weeding was again on the menu for today. so I said to myself " I'll give myself an hour and by that time I should be medium rare with my skimpy shorts, top off and sandals on."
I did one hours back breaking hand weeding trying to move into different positions to get toated evenly. I then did half an hour hoe work on paths just to finish off.
My hands are still tingling from pulling up thistles and nettles.
I did visit plot last Friday and did a bit of digging, mainly to try and get a few worms for my eldest son to fish with on Saturday. He has got back problems at the moment so wasn't able to cast a fly all day. I was fly fishing all day on Saturday and managed to burn the right side of my body, which was partly the reason why whilst weeding today the left side of my body was facing the sun.
At least the weeds I hoed on paths should get frazzled by the sun and not start growing again.
