I got up at 9; Gill had taken our youngest to school in a taxi and we were expecting Will to come and do maths with our home-schooler.
Gill came back and I got busy in the garden, doing more mechanical riddling and filling sacks with mature compost for Edible York.
I came in for lunch and went out for another short time, to load my trailer... 2 big sacks in the trailer plus the little one's bike, and a sack on my pannier rack.
I cycled down to the Building Society to get out a cheque for Jim Semlyen, to renew http://www.novaterium.com/ and delivered that cheque. Then on to Cycle Heaven to get a new cycle helmet for our youngest, who's grown out of his old one. He wanted a green coloured one, so I picked the only green one. However, this was £54, and I'd wanted to pay only half of this! So he got a red one for £30. I then delivered the compost to St Clements, and headed off to the Millennium Bridge to go to the Steiner School. I did 15 minutes of compost heap management there... the new bin is now ready for some fruity stuff from the daleks next to the playground. So that's my next job.
My son liked the new skid lid, and we cycled home together... but he did the last bit on his own as I wanted to pop in to Freshways to collect compostables.
I did more work in the garden until just after 6 when I came in (with a good crop of Shiitake!) and Gill told me I could do my own tea... so I did. Rice based, with Shiitake mushrooms, home grown and fresh off the log!
Then it was the LETS meeting. I took notes, and wrote them up afterwards. I seem to have a lot to do. Not an early night.
