Burning things
I had a day of outdoorsy diy today.
I gave the new door for the shed a coat of primer, tidied up the worst of the front garden, did some (much overdue) deadheading, gave various lavender bushes haircuts, cleared out the herb garden, did some digging, cropped some (also much overdue) salad potatoes, cleaned and cleared away my bean poles, and a few other bits besides.
I topped up two of my three compost bins so they’re now full, and I’ve got a pile of woody stuff that needs burning. I tried to burn some of it, but it’s a little green and there was quite a bit of smoke. I think I’ll try it again in a couple of weeks.
Oh, and my kettle has died! I think it’s a lose connection or something as the fuse is ok. I’ve only had it 3 years, that’s not long enough in my opinion. Good job I’ve got a whistling camping kettle though – otherwise I would have had to go without tea!
A fix will be attempted before I buy a replacement though…
No tea? Unthinkable :)
