VT went out this morning to get some compost for the plants that we bought yesterday in Dobbies. While he was out, the doorbell rang and it was the people from Hortex delivering two bales of peat, which was all they had left. For quite a few nights now we have been having peat block fires. They make a good fuel, not for when the weather is really freezing, but like it is now cold in the evenings, and they smell wonderful. The Hortex man was lovely, he was saying that it comes from Ireland, and they will only be getting some more in September now. He said, don't be deceived by the weather, it was cold out, and he had been talking to a delivery man who had left Congleton at five this morning, and all his windscreen wipers were frozen.Yet it is lovely and sunny through the window, and little Bobby has been out for ages sitting on one of the garden chairs in the sunshine.
Jane rang up at lunchtime, she is on a long day today. She was saying the buses were rubbish at the moment, and she had been late twice this month because they were late, and she is leaving the house at twenty to eight for a nine o'clock shift. It's only a twenty minute bus ride too. She will be tired tonight, she isn't a morning person like me I am not good in the mornings either.
VT planted his two little box trees in the new pots, and they look really good. We shall have to see how they do.
Tonight we are having:
Not exactly sure yet..Maybe
Sage and onion fillets,
bread sauce
Baked potatoes
Green beans and peas for VT. who isn't a fan of green beans.
