Well the weather yesterday was poor and wet so I had a highly successful day doing all the stuff I should’ve done but haven’t!!!!! The sort of stuff you don’t want to waste doing on a nice day, for example going to the garden centre for compost and lawn seed.

Made a new friend (NF).

Also located a source of free wood. New friend(NF) said take all you want - so that’s today’s activity.

I mentioned in conversation:

Me: “You never know where the next tree is coming from.”
NF: “I do!”
Me: “Oh?”
NF: “Did you see the fallen tree on your way in? I’ve got permission from the council to clear it. We’re going to do it on Thursday, stack the wood and people can help themselves”

Me: “Can I help please?”

What a RESULT

So was he a tree feller.............. I'll get my coat

Repotting some Chilli seedlings into grow bags next and erecting a grow bag greenhouse. Missus said she'd had enough of having to fight them off in the utility room last year.

Nice lunch of Mussels in a white wine sauce, crusty bread and a half bottle of Chenin blanc.
Off to cut the lawns next.

So a very productive day, banana loaf made, significant quantity of timber acquired and stacked.

Off to Ewood now to collect tickets for our away game at MK Dons on Easter Monday. Yeah!!!!

Tomorrow we have a whole tree to log up and Rovers are at home.

Had a run into Glasgow city centre today to the Fire Brigades Union office to have my picture taken.

It's their centenary year in 2019 and they are planning an exhibition of 100 faces of the FBU. I've no idea who the other 99 will be.
