6 May 2025 (Tuesday)

A bit of a full-on work work day until mid-afternoon.

With Can’t Stop Carrying On on Friday there was a ticket summary to do so that the show’s producers could invoice us for their share and, as this needs to be passed in front of Vanessa before going off to the producers.  Also, there was a stock order to put through for one of our suppliers if we needed a delivery for Wednesday, and checking on a delivery that had arrived this morning from another supplier to ensure that all that was expected had been delivered, and that nothing had been delivered that we hadn’t ordered!

Popped to the plot to water, and that chilling breeze really does bring the temperature down.  I don’t think we’ll get any frost in the coming weeks (famous last words…), BUT I do need to harden off the courgettes and red kuri squash as they’ve been happily growing in the greenhouse and in there it’s a tad warm.  Beetroot and spring onions may need some hardening off, though I think these two will need little as they’ve been in the poly with an open door for the past few weeks and experienced some rather cold nights.

Back home to make some soup.  We have a friend coming over for a quick supper as she flies off to family tomorrow.  We look after her cat when she’s away and that will start from tomorrow, though for tonight it’s Carrot & Lentil Soup and some of Richard’s wholemeal bread made in the machine.

More As Time Goes By this evening, and we finished Jam & Jerusalem.  It’s interesting that our viewing for much of what we know watch as a couple is either docs or reruns.


Weather:  Bright, but a chilly breeze blowing.  About 14°.

Breakfast:  Bran Flakes, yogurt, banana and sultanas
Lunch:  Lidl No-meat Sausage Rolls and tinned baked beans
Supper:  Carrot & Lentil Soup with Richard’s homemade bread, yeast extract and thin slices of cheese
