Getting Stuff Done

Well, a lovely few days with not much news. Saturday was blistering and we spent most of the day out in the garden. I dug the pumpkin patch, about a 1.5 x 4m area halfway down the garden. I can't wait to get it planted now - the pumpkins on the windowsill have just poked pale shoulders through the compost. I think there will also be space to plant a couple of courgettes.
I did a very exciting but also very costly thing on Saturday afternoon - I finally ordered my greenhouse! It is due to arrive at the start of May, and once that's in I shall be unstoppable. We went with a wooden greenhouse and I am hoping to also be able to use it as a workspace on less sunny days.
I seemed to spend a lot of Sunday in the house cleaning. With little Ivy it feels like an uphill struggle sometimes and I am desperate to get this house properly clean and organised so that all I have to do is maintain that. It's gone well, though I am feeling the urge to go through my books and wardrobe again and see what else I can do without. While I did this Will worked outside and has finished his workbench, made with wood reclaimed from the garden. I am sure he will post about that at some point so will say no more.

We went shopping at the supermarket at the weekend as we had a few cupboard things to stock up on. While we were there I bought 4 cauliflowers as they were organic and reduced to half price. I used 3 of them to make a big curry. Cauliflower is Ivy's favourite food so we are buying a lot of it at the moment. Actually I bought a couple of raw cookbooks a couple of days ago and it is something we are going to experiment with. Neither of us really eat fruit and we're not interested in starting though, so it's whether or not a more raw diet is something that will work for us. I would be interested in trying a raw-before-4 approach if possible though having heard friends singing the praises of a raw diet. Will keep you posted.
Not much on apart from that - Ivy and I went to playgroup in the next village yesterday, and instead of knit and knatter today we had a friend visit who is on holiday with her family in Pembrokeshire at the minute. Tomorrow we have craft playgroup in the afternoon, and then we are off visiting Will's family in Sussex for Easter. Phew, so much for living slow.
I have finished the garland for Ivy's room but she is asleep in there at the moment, so pictures will have to wait. That's all for now, I'm sure Ivy will wake soon and I'm desperate for a teeny tiny rest.
