Raised bed nearly there.

I'm starting to realise some people cant't be trusted at all - from, a rolling of the eyes and a sigh to go along with the 'Yes, of course we have enough screws' as if to underline the stupidity of my asking, 'Will I need to buy screws?' Fairly sensible question if you ask me; We didn't have enough. Not by about half. And then, to add insult to injury 'Are you sure there's enough charge in this drill to make this bed?' He was sure. He was wrong about that. The thing is, he doesn't actually care about my raised beds or any other part of my plot, so it's easier to ridicule my questions than actually think about the answer. I don't want him to care - I just want him not to brush off my desire to have enough tools to get me through the project with his unnecessary scorn. Well, I'm not going to ask any more questions. Fucket.
But I'm nearly finished. I've done three sides of the bed, although each of those sides need more securing, and I've filled this this with the manure, the fertiliser and one of the bags of free soil.Took hours. Despite the weatherman swearing it would rain by noon, the rain never came.

The almost finished, almost free first raised bed. Swell of pride.

But I was exhausted by then anyway - no-one in their right mind should spend more than five hours on the plot building and shovelling. So I had a bit of a tidy and then looked for a place to dig my comfrey bed. Which I think is my next task. I found a patch near the front which didn't look promising for cultivation, tucked between the path and a tree stump. After digging out and adding fertiliser, I might try sowing outside directly whilst I wait for the seedlings to come and join them. interesting to find out what the difference is.
Otherwise, I don't really understand what is happening to me. I'm not complaining actually but I woke up early this morning, which is nothing new, and instead of being determined to grab a tea and get back to sleep as quickly as I could, it was more: How early is too early to go to the allotment today?
So, I found my flask and gave it a good scrub, I sorted through the little box of nails, allen keys and associated junk that we have (going to have to sort that out, what a mess) to find some screws, I made a to-do list for the plot today although I know I was kidding myself that I'd get it all done. I also decided to buy some brackets (more money!) for my next raised beds. This bed I'm currently has taken so long, partly because I have just been going about it so haphazardly. It's still going to take forever to saw through the flipping wood though, whatever else I do that won't change (insert sad face. Resist desire to buy one of these).
