Salix Mount Aso / Seeds / Wind

Finally got the polytunnel cover cleaned; I started it last week and now it’s done. What a difference. I’ve moved all the plants out of the green house into the tunnel so that I can get ready to start seed sowing. I’ve had the seed box out and sorted out February seeds.
The seed box
I also sorted through the shallot sets I bought for autumn planting that didn’t happen. Jermor and Griselle – two or three were a bit soft, but plenty to go in later this month.

Still windy. Dan started removing the gooseberries – and the huge amounts of ground elder.

Racing corgis. That’s Gwenna at the back – not because she’s slower, but because she’d have been distracted by some smell.
Bryn and Gwenna.
Vet was out to give Smokey his annual onceover, flu & tet, and teeth check. He behaved perfectly. Although, I think he’s hoping he won’t be noticed if the vet returns before next year.

Dry, cold and sunny. Finally finished the article.
Smokey had his feet trimmed.

Damp and cold. My Valentine was off early doors with a trailer load of manure to the allotments.
I was obliged, compelled, I tell you, to bake a fruit cake as MV had bought two bags of “brandy soaked Christmas fruit” on special and it’s out of date soon. I made Delia’s Last Minute Christmas Mincemeat Cake. It’s OK. We’ll eat it.

Final kitten preparations today. We’re excited and apprehensive.

Collected Riley and Cooper from the shelter this afternoon. Oh boy, is he uber confident!!! Bounced up to Diesel (who’d sneaked (if a 6kg cat can still sneak!) into the cat room) and booped him on the snoot. Exit Diesel.
Riley is much quieter. She stayed in the carry box for a while after arriving home. She’s very cuddly and not anything like as playful as Cooper, but he’s had an easier life. So far.
