Cadair Idris

A lovely day walking up Cadair Idris, Wales. Amazing weather.

Check out the photos.

And shout out to the open source developers at RawTherapee for making the excellent RAW digital camera image processing program which is fab.

Oh everything aches!

So I had the day off after working the weekend. I dropped Harvey at nursery after a trip to the playground and headed for the allotment. mayBe’s morning bell text advised being in a garden for a time today, reflecting on the earliest Genesis stories, which seemed to match my plans to go the allotment again.

I dug-over the first plot, got rid of three barrow-loads of weeds/grass. Annoyingly my stupid unreliable Sony-Erricson phone chose to lose my before shot completely. Ah well. I’ve left it mostly (but not entirely) covered up with what cardboard/black plastic we had. The allotment patch, that is, not the phone.

Respect to farmers worldwide, what hard work it is!

Ok, don’t get too excited, but Katie, Donny, Ocean, Tracey, Harvey and Rich all had a day out and we dug-over the best bit, digging in some manure too. We’ve left the covering off at the mo because the weather’s dry and windy which — we’re told –  will dry out the soil, which is apparently a good thing for planting.

We’re going to start some seeds off at home. Peas, courgette, squash. Possibly potatoes and some other bits.  Still early days, but we had fun yesterday which seems to be the point for now!

Aaargh! Where’s the website gone?

I’ve replaced it with Wordpress because I’m using that on a number of other projects, so I hope it will make it easier to maintain.

Looking for pics of Harvey? They’re on our flickr account.

I’m going to make this pretty soon.
