Day 219 Monday 6th August:

Quite a busy day today. Helen our groups support worker came today as we were doing an Appraisal of where the group had got to at the end of the 1st Lottery funding year and where we were going and how we we were going to achieve next years targets. We have funding for 3 years from the lottery and need to monitor that we are achieving the targets that the lottery have paid for.
Roland went to meet a plumber at Mums house as the stop tap had "disappeared"! He was ages and when he got back he said the plumber had put a new one in. We only expected him to look at what needed doing and come back another day. So that's another job done.
While Roland was out I finally baked a cake and prepared some veg. I was podding some broad beans and was impressed by how the plant protects it's seeds in a soft padding.
Tuesday

Well, yesterday in the middle of writing this my brain just stopped working I couldn't think any more (ME problem - difficult to understand if you don't have ME. Even Roland doesn't understand how it happens but he is very supportive anyway) so I went to bed and slept until the early hours.

Look how soft the inside of the broad beans are.
