The day started badly, as I had passed a disturbed night and felt tired, stiff and fragile. As the first light of a non-too-rosy dawn crept through the curtains, I groaned and turned over.
This was how I slept in, set off late and was unable to accomplish my first task of the day. We had barely laid out the parts for a new garden bench when the Monday group arrived, two hours earlier than we were expecting. As I’m not allowed to be a volunteer (due to the conflict of interest thing) we had to leave.
As a consolation prize Julia bought me breakfast at Harvester, which was excellent. Fruit, yoghurt, Full English, toast, marmalade, a quick crumpet (because it was there) and refillable tea. All for 75% of the cost of two Olympic breakfasts at Little Chef. I passed on cereal.
After that we returned home to find the internet was down. BT claim we hadn’t paid the bill. They seem to do this about once a year – cutting us off for non-payment without actually sending us a bill or a reminder.
By the time it came back on we were already back at the gardens tacking a pallet bench together ready for tomorrow.
Then it was shopping, chip shop and try to get a blog post done before midnight…
Done, with 12 minutes to go. I will add photos later.
Well posted. 12 minutes in hand is neat timing.
Thank you. 🙂
Those look kinda like Mason Bee boxes..maybe smaller rolls for them. Bugs need boxes? I thought they had homes-like sharing with me.
They always need more shelter. It’s like kids always needing more food – a natural law!
I’m with Clare. Those bug boxes are excellent. Hope today is better than yesterday. At least you had a good breakfast to cheer you up.
It’s getting better…
You can imagine my response to the BT issue. Hope you are fully recovered soon.
Yes, I was thinking of you whilst writing. 🙂 Then I let Julia deal with it.

What excellent bug boxes! Sorry you had such a bad night’s sleep – hope you have a better night tonight. 🙂
We will see, I live in hope.
I had to look up ‘Full English’. At least you got a good breakfast for your troubles!
Utility companies can be a real bear to deal with. Sorry they interrupted your Internet service.
Yes, most times it is OK, then they do that.
