We had a good day today, the sun was shining so we made the most of it by making a start on the allotment. Nigel planted the raspberry canes and I thinned out the strawberry bed. We're going to have two strawberry beds this year so the next job is to get the other bed sorted out and planted up. We had loads of gorgeous strawberries last year despite the army of slugs that invaded the plot. The allotment itself is looking a right mess, the rain has been continuous for god knows how long, so it's like a bog down there - I hope we get some better weather soon so that it has a chance to dry a bit. There's a lot of work that needs to be done down there but at least we did most of the heavy digging last year and we've had tarps over it to stop the weeds from coming back, so it should be easier this year.
I had to pop to the supermarket this afternoon for a few bits and bobs so I went just before closing time in the hope that there might be a few bargains to be had, but it was a bit disappointing, they didn't have much out. I did manage to get three small brown loaves for 20p each and a cucumber for 50p though :o)
