Much to do today, it's Rosamund Avenue Allotment Open Day. Debs picking me up at 7.30, home, change, wake the kids, Nat to get ready for rugby, Han to be dropped off at the allotment with me so we can get "Swine Flu" the Scare-Crow up and ready for the day. Deb will drop Nat off, pick up the rest of his school uniform from Brockington then join us at the allotment. Must stick phone on charge as soon as I get home and make sure to take some spare batteries; I want to get lots of photos today, and I did and here they are:Not as many scar crows this year as last and we didn't win. Ours was Swine Flu but the even more topical astronaut won. Han and I wandered round taking photos, talking, following Mrs Bates as she and Henry checked out and photographed the SC's for the competition. Han and I were there when some of the stalls were setting up and we helped out "Bosom Buddies" stall when it started to collapse under the weight of all the glass jars on their table. No freebies as a reward unfortunately!
Deb arrived back around 10:30 and we went around again before heading back to our plot to clear up. We had already picked to racks of runner beans, which we'd donated to the fund raising veg stalls, but we now grabbed some stuff for ourselves. had a chat with Mark who has the plot behind (in front it's all a matter of perspective) ours. He's a nice older guy who's always offering help and advice. Chatted for awhile before making our way home.
Had a beer and went to bed. Han played outside, with Chantel and Haline, before going with Deb to pick up Nat at 3.30. Last day tomorrow, which might be a good idea as the Suns turned him the colour of beetroot.
Up for 6:00 - dinner, change, pack then to work. Wrote this there after things got quite.
