Purple potatos, an egg & trystans chicken love

An uneventful day for the most part, still drying up after the rain & feeling all springy due to not being trapped in the house.
We did a spot of gardening in  the morning & read books in the morning  until we went outside to find that Trystan's chickens had laid their first egg, as far as he's concerned all his love & care has been rewarded & has been placing in a specially labeled egg carton.
He doted over them all morning which led me to trying to find out if we have a local tip shop to buy nest box bits only to find out the only likely place was closed on Friday so I couldn't find out what they had or if I needed to call someone else, Oh & I'd really like to find a second hand bike & learn to ride one it's so much less scary than trying to get my car licence.

I managed to dye some more solid colours & photograph my highlights over lowlights roving, hoping to get more photo-ed & listed tomorrow.

Looking for a good place for chickens to lay tryst stumbled across a section they'd dug into & had unearthed a potato which led to us doing a bit of bandicooting  revealing a half dozen purple potatos along with a few dutch creams we had them for dinner with pretty green peas, I do so love green & purple together.

I have a shopping list a mile long some of hardware store & feedstore things & even more for ingredients, I was given nigella lawsons newest book & I've been flicking through the veganomicon, I will shortly have my own copy of falling cloudberries & I have a list a mile long of things I'd love to try, I'm getting exited my garden is at the brink of producing loads of food & I'm getting into the swing of summer in this new house, what slows me down cooking? my son has child tastes which can be worked around but more of an issue the man I live with doesn't like beans or pulses of any kind or anything tomato based which are base ingredients in so much low cost/vegan/vegetarian/wholefood cooking it is a pain.

I really want to work on my driving hours, it scare the hell out of me but I an see how usefull it will be to be able to choose to live out of town or be able to go to the beach with tryst without waiting for help or be able to go to markets as a seller & a patron, all crazy exiting, I so want a panel van I just think they have character & style.
