Still working on the harvest; lot of potatoes and carrots still in the ground, but we like to leave 'em there as long as possible. Everything else is pretty much cleared off tho'. Had a good year for peas and beans, but the onions never got bigger than a quarter.
Been too busy around the house to do much in the garden. I received a small inheritance recently and we've been using it to refit the house, more or less all at once. New windows, new furnace, new flooring (spent most of this week preparing for that: ripping up the old stuff, nailing down a new subfloor) new paint and wallpaper everywhere, major refit of two bathrooms, and I'm 2/3 of the way through building a wall to wall floor to ceiling bookcase in my office. Since I retired I've been busier than I've ever been in my life. And I haven't even started on the list of things to do I made in the last few months before I retired.
That's also the reason I haven't been around here much lately. The days are spent in heavy labour, and by the time evening rolls around, my idea of something to do is to have a wee dram of some fine old single malt (The Macallan, preferably) and drop into bed. Sometimes I even forego the wee dram, I'm so tired.
