Movies

I am starting to slip into holiday mode, even though I am not working. I have many projects on the go. I have decided to let some of my projects slip an even drop a few that just don't seem to be happening. I feel a little guilty as Dave goes to work everyday, washes all the clothes and cleans up after me, so you would think I would have time to do things. My list involves decorate the baby's room, make the baby look pretty, plant the spring flowers, generate artwork for living room and bedroom, write a web site, sign some documents for the office and make the house habitable for the house sitter. Instead I am going for coffee, having lunch, shopping, reading books and going to the movies.

The movies have been good. I have discovered the joy of mum and baby screenings and have so far seen Ratatouille and Stardust. Both quite watchable movies. Stardust was quite enjoyable. Ther were some minor story tweaks to make it a movie, but a lot better than the previews made it look. Well done.

Harvest

With autumn comes the harvest. The tomatoes were blighted this year halving the yeild, but the runner beans have only just begun.

The new crop has been sewn. Hoping for cabbages, spring onions, carrots and bok choy. I think the carrots may have failed too. But there may be enough for baby carrots.

Appart from the tomatoes I try to plant vegetables that can be eaten early. That way it is not that I can't produce a proper carrot, it is that I like to eat them tender.
