Now the main source of income other than farming here is milking tourists so this weekend has been the 1940s weekend in the next big village , glorious weather for it , spitfires dog fighting overhead the Lancaster backwards and forwards umpteen times and thousands of extra tourists . Due to the road closures we can only travel in one direction , so its stay home and ignore it weekend . Friday they were setting up and we had to trail an armoured vehicle to the doctors which was little odd only to find vintage cars filling the carpark , they were only turning round to try and find the campsite they were staying on but still very strange. Theres a huge amount of work put into this by all and sundry , which is fair enough . Not something that appeals to me , to many crowds so i would imagine in the next couple of weeks we will be the Covid capital of the area , so now the heats here its up for 5 to get all the jobs done then cabbage all afternoon till it cools down then back out watering everything . i save waste water as i cant afford to up my consumption due to lack of funds , im trying to persuade himself to let me tap into the washer outlet so i can water all the veg at the back of the house and i have thought of putting a large plastic bowl under the shower as well but nobody wants to cooperate ...ho hum i will keep nagging
I hope your vegs are doing well after all of your hard work x
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the water saving. It's hard when no-one is listening to you. The weekend sounds fun if you like that sort of thing, but in this weather all I can manage is to wilt quietly in the shade.
ReplyDeleteI've just started the bowl under the shower thing and am surprised how much I'm collecting. I've always collected the water you run while it's warming up, being on metered water.
ReplyDeleteTaping into the grey water from the washer is a great idea.
