Digging in the dark

Up at 05:25 this morning and out to the allotment to dig over. I hope to make it a habit as last year; though I may possibly need to get to bed earlier. Pretty dark still at that time, though light by 06:15 when I went back for a shower.
It’s been a fantastic warm sunny week but a cold snap is forecast; I just overheard some say it’s going to snow over this weekend. All the more reason to get as much of allotment dug as possible before cold and wet arrives. At least it’s very easy to dig and only needs single digging.
The tomato seedlings are all coming on, as are the chillis; not seeing much action from the peppers yet, though. I also planted some cucumber and courgette and those are coming on nicely, as is a tray of flat-leaf parsley.
We’re all well, though both Lola and Neve have been on antibiotics recently: Lola for pneumonia (scary) and Neve for a urine infection (smelly). I got the UTI as well, though it seems to have gone without medicinal intervention.
Basta. More soon, I hope; be good to re-establish the blogging habit as well as the digging habit…
