I spent Sunday glossing the skirting board in David's room and scrubbing the plaster off the skirting in the hall. Progress remains slow but now the hard work in David's room is over we can start preparing the next phase - decorating the hall, stairs and landing. I don't know why I love glossing so much. Give me a piece of skirting to gloss and a Pink Floyd soundtrack and I'm in heaven.
Matt spent the afternoon digging up the veg plot in the garden. Unfortunately my onions and pumpkins appear to be rotting - probably due to the terrible drainage despite the constant sunshine at the moment. I was fairly certain the veggies would be poor but at least I've given it a go and I've learnt heaps already. We have managed to harvest potatoes and French beans so all is not lost. I've decided to try green manure in the unused veg plot and boarder. Matt is turning over the soil and I'll hoe it and then I'll plant the seeds. It grows and then rots back into the soil - hopefully replacing some of the nutrients for a better start newxt year.
