Went straight to the allotment after work, where half the windows that we'd propped up against the fence yesterday had blown down in the wind, so had to move all the windows into the shed in nervousness of the forecast worsening weather. And then some digging. And I split my boot! Dammit. I am never buying Sketchers boots again. Lasted less than 9 months, I think I got them in May. The soles have been going for the past 6, even, and would have worn through if I hadn't stuck segs in them. Waste of so much money. Okay, I don't usually wear them for the allotment, just for kicking around, but still. It wasn't as if I did a lot of heavy work, I was only there about half an hour.

I walk 3-4 miles a day by default when I'm not on a specific walking bender. I kill shoes. Just kill them.

Got back (via parents' house to pick up old walking boots stashed there for tomorrow afternoon), made a quiche again for packed lunches this week because that was nifty last week (sweet potato, red onion & goats cheese today) and then typed 5500 words, which was the second chapter of the steampunk thing.

Still determinedly walking to the seafront every day this week to attune to the sea, so I did that then. At just after 10pm, I've just got back and had a late dinner and finally stopped.

Since I'm hefting windows up a hill into a skip tomorrow afternoon, I doubt tomorrow is going to be much more relaxing.

Funny thing is that I don't feel particularly tired.

Spent the afternoon carrying windows up a large, muddy hill to the spot at the top where we could actually park the car. I think this goes down among "things which gardeners/allotmenters do that sane people wouldn't". Snaffling windows from people who have huge piles of them going to waste that they're getting ready to skip.

Coldframes! We're going to make coldframes! We have enough window for about three, two at the allotment and one small one in my yard. The windows for the latter are beautiful, they have lead panelling on them. They're smaller than the rest, I'm going to make some kind of little greenhouse construction.

Hoping for decent weather on Tuesday now as I promised to go back and help get the rest of the piles into the skip by way of thanks.

In RL news, I have an allotment. OMG. I didn't expect it to happen that simply after S said fuckit and walked out on venture but they've signed it straight over to just my name and sent me a bill.

Now I can plan stuff. And my dad is already planning his retirement.
