Thankfully today was grey and damp so that I couldn’t be so easily seduced from the piles of proper job work I needed to finish before tomorrow. This work can a pleasure in itself, but not as immediately attractive as being outside and making progress at the plot (or neglected allotment).

So lots of bargains were made with myself as the day progressed: early morning clear up at allotment had to be followed by essay marking. Another portion of indoor work was completed before mooching off to pot on penstemon and mint.

One chocolate mint hopefully turning into five
