New (covid 19) year's resolutions?

One of the keys to long term storage is to only put good quality, disease free and undamaged stuff into storage in the first place.

When it is in storage keep your eye on it and remove anything that starts to look a bit iffy. Use the worst looking stuff first, the good stuff will keep a bit longer.

Different veg have different storage regimes but generally speaking root veg need cool, preferably constant temp. Moist but not wet and no frost.

Best plan is to research each veg separately and go from there.

Still on day 9 of 14 isolation, suffering from cabin fever and a nasty but ‘traditional’ chest infection, but....once I’m up and about. I’m going to practice my drumming rudiments.
Clean and LOLER my kit.
Valet the car
Do some ivy-strips and dead-woofing on our trees.

We’re on day 6 isolation here. Food stocks are going down and it’s going to be interesting to see what meal combinations we are on this time next week.

Meanwhile, my log store is full after a bit of effort on Saturday, but needs the felt replacing when I get a roll / some shingles. Lawns need mowing, some bits of broken fence to replace etc etc.

The garden is looking good, the guitar playing is improving, at least I think it is and the greenhouse is cleaned with seeds now planted.

I gained a new skill today, the wife can't go out for her hair to be done so demanded I cut it....gave me 10 out of 10 and was decently surprised by the finished job. Thinning scissors are on order....just call me Gervais

The other positive is that we have been walking pretty much every other day, nothing too long, around 6 miles and we have both lost 4-5lb so not all bad and fortunately the weather has been beautiful.

Well it's not all positive. I'm knackered, aching, feeling every one of my 35 years....

 

Running around after a 5 year old and a 2 year old, whilst having the time to resume gym training, go cycling and move a whole heap of firewood into the woodstore has side effects! ?

 

(my back is actually really being helped by not being in a machine/van all day)

When I was off over christmas and new year with a ruptured achilles tendon I started to re learn to play the fiddle/violin.

Think I might continue with that now I'm past the sounding like a cat being strangled stage!

To not succumb to the rampant consumerism as I’ve done in the past, and to buy British products where possible at the same time avoiding Chinese tat.

I pride myself on having always tried to buy British where possible and European if that isn't possible.  I hope the Chinese economy gets its just desserts after everything calms down.

Agreed.  Hopefully Britain/Europe etc will start manufacturing our own stuff, components etc instead of importing from far side of world made by what is borderline slave labour.

stuff will cost more but so be it.
