Summer Of Work Finished

 Today my wife goes back to work so I'm back looking after these two little terrors! 
The summer has been stupidly busy with plenty of (paying) work and still lots for me to catch up on even now.  I've did my usual and took on far too much and things here have suffered a bit. The garden isn't looking as good as it should be, but I have kept on top of looking after the animals and other projects like the porch have just stood still. 
My weekends are booked for quite a while yet with more work, it's a viscous circle really as I need to work for the money to do the projects but because I'm working I can't do the projects themselves! I'm sure I'll catch up at some point.
Who else is struggling for time to do things?

  3. You will soon catch up Kev. I made my veg plot smaller last year. We have less produce but it's far easier to look after. I read that your average plot needs at least 4 hours labour a week.

    1. I need to have a good catch up on your blog, I've been so busy I've not read anyones really. Rest is important but not too much as it stops you doing things.

  8. I don't have enough time but that is just trying to get everything done here. Back to school time is always slow for me at my call in job so that helps. I may not work for a month sometimes in August.
