Well the day started off verybad as We were up from 4.45am with our dear little helper Shane.So Sheila and I had our first cup of tea of the day.
Shelia and i cleaned the living room and by 7 am Jean/ Paul another son of ours was ready for school, Shane was also ready for Nursery, but he could not make his mind up about what he wanted for his breakfast!
I then asked Sheila if the oldest son was up. She told me that he had been called and still nothing at all. At this i called up and got the same as she did! A grunt. He finally rose at 9.15am a full 2 hours later. He was here yesterday when I cane home from the hospital so he knows the score. But he does not care alas.
We got over to the plot just after 10 this morning, So sheila started on the Chickens and I made the tea, I also made up something that I can now put onto the bottem of the old kitchen chair so that the legs don't sink into the ground as they have done many time before, ( don't laugh) But everytime it has happened I could hardly get up with all the laughing.
I must say I should have thought of that last year but back then i was always using my Wheelchair and which I thought I would have to use for ever more. But just before Christmas Father Christmas came a left me an Electric Scooter that has made such a differents now. I can now go out with out someone helping to push me.
I at long last have my Indpendence back and that is the greatest feeling of all for me at this time.
Well I've gone of track so back to the allotment the chair is ready for setting trials. we had some Raspberry plant given to us this morning so they were planted and more growned was covered by black plastic so that the weeds don't grow and then it's going to be much easier for Sheila or Theresa to dig . But I may try aswell the no dig way by just covering the ground with some old wool carpet or cardboard then put garden compost over it making sure it wont fly away in any winds. Cut holes in the what ever you have and plant away, some say it's good other we talk to don't like it.
I will try any thing so that wife and daughter don't have to work to hard. When i see them working it sometimes feels so bloody wrong that they are doing this and I no longer can and we have that Lazy sod of a son on his play station thingy. My Dear old Dad would have kicked him up the arse and made sure he did a few things, But nowadays we are told that we must not do this or do that. Don't get me started.
We put in some board beans this morning and we have others about 4/6 inchs tall, I am really looking foreward to have some of them.
