The voice is half way back now.  I can talk for nearly five minutes!  Hurrah!

I'm starting to catch up on the very worst of the email backlog as the wrists ease up. Only 90 to go... (It was 170 at the worst point last week)

Went down the allotment and weeded around the strawberries for relaxation.  A very friendly robin came and kept me company and the sun shone and relaxation was achieved.

Richard has planted the shallots (I've put some fleece over them as we'll probably get frost again tonight) and the first lot of broad beans are now several cm hight.  The seed potatoes are chitting on the bedroom windowsills.  We're still harvesting Jeruslem artichokes and beetroot and we'll have another batch of spinach before long.
