Small things amuse...
Currently dehydrating the 5kg bag of onions that Iceland sold me for half price at just £1.25. With that and my massive order of powdered eggs, i'll be self sufficient in omelettes for at least 2 years :D

Got a delivery of 54kg of dug kibble and some extra dug treats today so at least they'll be Brexit proof for a while. The dugs are about 35kg each so they do go through it right enough. Need to top up on cat food too although the evil wee b'stard is pretty good at feeding himself.

My revised car kit is in the boot now.All packed tightly into a 15 litre rucksack.Takes up no room.Along with my trusty Barbour ,we should weather any storms. Mrs.J.is a lot more mobile now,so I shall make sure there is enough firewood for the week ( yes,we've been lighting the stove), sort the livestock and start taking the polytunnel down. It is beyond economic repair now.That will kickstart my garden ' makeover '.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Just finishing the last of the Jam making, apricot in the photo. Blackcurrant and Strawberry already done and Plum chutney and Hoisin sauce next week. That should be enough to see us through the next few months. 8-) I love this time of year around the harvest, payback for the time and work invested.
