Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4

Project Greenhouse is coming along nicely, Tomatoes, Green beans & Runner Beans all repotted into the big pots.
On a personal level, rejoined the gym, working on my cardio.

Re: Eating out of date food.

Last night I found some unopened Brie that was hiding in the back of the fridge, It was a week out of date.
It was a little runnier than usuall and gave me some freaky dreams but apart from that all good.

Re: TEOTWAWKI equipment/tools

In with the basic gardening tools, I'd suggest a Mattock, Mine dosent get used as much as the garden spade or fork but when it does get used its worth every penny of the 20 quid I paid for it.

Also a good sharpeing stone to keep tools in tip top condition.

A dog would be better, some kind of terrier...good ratters, slighty more loyal than a cat and even a small dog would make a oppourtunist think twice.
