After doing a few chores and feeding the beast.. aka me.. she dressed in allotment clothes, including her waterproof trousers, gave me a kiss on Beaky and went to do hard work at the allotments.
There were a couple of her old friends there including DirtyGirty, a charming Jack Russell who is an ace mouser and rater, we LOVE Girty and she's welcome to come and whizz over our plots any time she wants.
No digging today, it was out with the petrol tank, 2 stroke oil, the measuring cap and the grass trimmer. Vroom, it sparked on the first pull and off she went. Having done her plots, she went down the main track, clearing away nettles and grass from the centre and doing the sides to keep the track clear.
She trimmed two friends small plots, one is her Sicilian friend who 'pays' her in either zucchini or wild rocket, then went down to the very end where Ros has her two plots. A quick whizz around the front and along her boundaries and then back up the other side of the path.
The temperature today was perfect and so it would be glorious if the rest of October and perhaps even November were like this, it makes Winter (brrrr) seem not so long, but it is amazing how quickly the sun seems to slide across the sky and slither off down into the west.
She caught the 17.08pm bus home and, as luck would have it, made an immediate connection with a 74 bus on Lillie Road which meant she was home in just over an hour. We've had an early light supper, she is a bit disturbed but caffeine withdrawal will do that to you, especially if you go cold turkey and just stop, like she's done.
Not a lot to report. Except Tereza has very sweetly given her a ticket to the RHS Harvest Festival at Vincent Square for next Tuesday! Yippee.. she'll talk with a couple of nurseries about ordering a few things and discuss fruit tree and bush pruning.
Just a lovely sunny Autumnal day spent outside in the sunlight, it sounded pretty good to me, despite the fact I didn't want to go. But then, as you know, I'm tricky sometimes. No gardening tomorrow, for someone's coming at 09.30am to look at the boiler which is over 50 years old and not up to new flue safety regulations.
Then bend and stretch.. aka ballet at 13.00!
GeeGee Parrot.
