Tempests
Got back to Trelawnyd late but very tired as I had no sleep last night worrying about the allotment. I have written a letter to the Parish Council explaining my position and apologising for any misunderstanding (in many ways it is one or two of them that should be apologising) and hope that it will quieten things down a little so I and the vegetables can duck under their radar.
Up and down....,weightwaters & fields
wonder if the chicken coop is safe also, which IS worrying. Watch this space.
The good news ! (humph!) is that I have lost another three pounds at fatfighters so am down to 13 stone (total loss 35 lbs) only a few pounds to go to ideal weight. Off to the theatre in Manchester with Hazel later which is a nice change and will brighten my mood. She used to live in Didsbury so we are having a small tea in a cafe there before the theatre.

A sad day.
size DOESN'T matter
Well it's tiny but one of the new girls has actually laid their first egg! It is a milestone!, rather like a the coming of age thing.
Planted the sweetcorn this morning and weeded the allotment . An old boy went past and complemented me on my neatness and order! which was nice. Now off to Prestatyn bistro for lunch with Chris, unfortunately working tonight but hey it has to be done.
No news from Nu today.
Touching bases
Got to Sheffield mid afternoon and went shopping to Cole Brothers and bought a shirt that was, .....wait for it.........A MEDIUM!!!!!!!!!!!! I have bought a MEDIUM sized shirt!!!!!!! I was so excited as I cannot really remember when I last wore a medium ANYTHING!
Popped in to see Mike, Bev and Maisie then sporting my MEDIUM shirt I went to ALL BAR ONE, to meet Jane. When I was waiting for her to turn up, touched base with friends Vince and Peter who were having a bottle or two of Chardonnay! They have not seen me for a long time and I absolutely loved their comment of how well and slim I looked........it has been a long long time since I had such a good preen! (have I ever?)
Jane as usual was fab and after too many wines and gossip we caught up with Kim at Sarah's house. Both Sarah and Kim looked great! (I have no pics of Kim but this one of Anne Heche is almost a dead ringer for her) Living in St Albans means that we all don't really get a chance to catch up with Kim very often which is a shame , I miss her.
Absolutely knackered this afternoon, so it is great to be sat in front of the fire relaxing.
Fatfighters, Nu and Lino excitement!!
The Joys of House Husbandry
Pillow faced farmer turned up this afternoon with the offer of more water butts, which I refused with dignity AND with the moral high ground firmly behind me. I was polite too !
Still no news from Nuala! I hope to meet up with her sometime this week to touch base, just hope it's not tomorrow as the bloody clean urine-free lino is being delivered and laid! Friday is a meet up with Kim, Sarah and Jane in Sheffield under a guise of Consultant Ravi's leaving bash
