We're cracking on in the garden!

You can see the seventh raised bed - it's the one on the extreme right at centre-height in the photo. Having dug over everywhere yesterday I made the raised bed - out of Brico Depot Bargain Basement shuttering board, of which I have a considerable amount as it is very handy stuff to have

The older raised beds were made out of board and were 1.40m square, but this board comes in 3m length so I have done this one 1.40 x 1.60.

Once I organised that, I started on digging over where the 8th raised bed will be - behind bed no7. This took ages to dig over - in fact it's only had its first digging - on the grounds that there are tree roots everywhere and they all need to be hauled out. Mind you I might have made much more progress had I left my bed this morning long before ... errr ... 10:40. I dunno what's happening to me about this.

After breakfast I did a couple of hours up here and I've put two of the footy web pages on line - this one and this one. Only another 12 to do.

This evening I went round to Michael's and we had a bit of a jamming session. Because he's not been playing guitar long I had to teach him some music theory, which is quite difficult as I don't know it myself. He's off to the UK in a couple of days time but we resolved that when he came back we would try to get together maybe once a week and see what we shall see. In the meantime I'll have a rummage through my record collection and look for some 12-bar blues stuff (some Flying Aces stuff or JJ Cale - that kind of thing) and make up a disk of stuff to have a play with.

And all day we had intermittent showers, hailstorms, heavy rain - you name it, we had it. And last night the temperature dropped below freezing.
