Weeding, peas and locking down again

Well it was a good day for weeding (if such a day exists) with a fresh breeze of wind and sunny intervals, so I proceeded to weed my patio gravel.
I gave up weeding the driveway about a month ago and if anyone asks I just tell them I am providing bees with their lunches ( a great excuse to do nothing if you ask me, sort of like killing two birds with one stone, without the murder)
In between cutting and glueing bits of wood together to loosly represent a 4x4 for my market stall (if such a thing will ever exist again) I got the patio finished and moved on to weeding the veg plot, Bad Move.
The veg plot is in a sheltered spot and the midgies (following Government advise are Staycationing) Anyway after nearly knocking myself out swatting them I moved on to harvesting my dinner.
Had peas and shallots ready to crop along with Thyme and parsley, the fridge revealed butter and parmesan some mushrooms and half a lemon and the larder some rissoto rice so tonights dinner was fresh garden pea/ mushroom rissoto.
In late news, my favourite caravaners are back so I better lock up the sheds and tie down the dogs or get out fishing.
