Cold and blustery

It's cold and blustery out today so we didn't do much in the allotment. I turned the soil in the raised bed and then we went to Lou Farrow's for lunch.

The reason I played cricket today

I came in late today because the 42 bus I get had been diverted - so I took a cab to the Bede.

Because I was  too late for the allotment group, I played cricket instead in the gym before lunch.

The reason for the diversion: an unexploded WWII bomb was uncovered at a nearby building site!

trip to the unicorn theatre

I went to the Unicorn Theatre on Saturday to see a show: Britain's Best Recruiting Sergeant.

It was really, really good, entertaining and funny. I'd like to see it again but it's finished.  

A tribute to Gary

My friend Gary, we lost him because he died so young. May he rest in peace.
He loved Spiderman and Thundercats and at his funeral they played the music from Thundercats.
It was a sad funeral. I couldn't stop crying. I hugged his mum and his dad. The crematorium was packed. There were loads of flowers.
I won't forget about him. He was loved. I will keep him in my prayers.

Plastic Cloches

Today we put a cloche over the seed bed in the allotment. The cloche is made of clear plastic, which lets in sunlight. The sunlight warms up the soil. The cloche also stops the birds eating the seeds.
I went to Lou Farrow's café and had cheeseburger, chips, and a cup of tea. I had a nice day.

Not doing much...

We didn't do much today. We went and emptied the scraps onto the compost, then Tayo washed out the scrap bin. I went to talk to Andrea and Matthew, the staff who work at the allotment, then we went to lunch - cheeseburger and chips and a cup of tea.

Oxeye Daisies

We planted seeds in pots  today - sweet peppers and oxeye daisies. Sarah who runs the group showed us how to do it.
