Friday 9th ,May 2008 Off the wall I really like this cartoonist, very off the wall, she appeals to my sense of humour: (she's probably a bit too bizarre for most people though)

Wednesday 7th ,May 2008 Progress on the plot It's been glorious weather here recently so all is well at the allotment, spuds are in , onions too and most of the beans.
I've a windowsill full of tomato seedling that need planting out, chillis too
A lot more seed planting needs doing though, - carrots turnips etc
and we need to get cucumbers and courgettes going of course.
Suze has been brilliant as usual with the weeding and watering. Posted by Chris CoatesPosted : 11:58

Monday 5th ,May 2008 quick coffee with Bill Bill was passing through Schiphol early this moning so I managed to catch up with him for 15 mins for a coffee.
He was jetlagged and I had a hangover so the conversation wasn't what you could call sparkling :-)
It was nice to see the little chubby fella though. Posted by Chris CoatesPosted : 13:51

Wednesday 30th ,April 2008 pants I've reached a milestone in my diet this morning.
I can fit into my old size 34 jeans which is something I've not been able to do for years.
This means all my suits will fit me again too. (not that I wear suits very often) Posted by Chris CoatesPosted : 10:24

Monday 21st ,April 2008 spuds are in We spent a good couple of hours down at the allotments on Saturday, the spuds are in and Suze planted carrots and parsnips. Yesterday I planted out cabbages into larger plots and planted out the japanese bunching onions, Suze started on the broad bean planting. When we got home I sowed ten varieties of tomatoes, tonight I'll make a start on the chillies Posted by Chris CoatesPosted : 08:30

Monday 14th ,April 2008 Rotovator time I spent Saturday morning rotovating our two allotments and I also did two more for other people, I was a broken man after that and was too tired to even contemplate going to the pub. I made up by going out on Sunday to Ned's with my mate Fred instead.
I cooked meatballs in homegrown tomato sauce as a favour for Geraldine, the meal went to a good cause, 6 Polish kids and their helpers who are over here for a break from the orphanage where they live. I'll say more on this later. Posted by Chris CoatesPosted : 18:14

Wednesday 9th ,April 2008 Grand National 2008 result I won 46 quid in the first race but didn't get another result all day and ended up about 90 quid down. Suze got the winner which she was very happy with seeing how she didn't last year but did the 5 years before that. My brother James did very well pocketing 200 plus. Fred also had a few winners but I don't know how much he pocketed.
A great time was had by all and we'll definitely be going again next year, we were in the Lord Sefton stand this year but are going to try and get in the Princess Royal stand where we were last year. Posted by Chris CoatesPosted : 09:11
