Beltane supper last night was awesome. So nice to sit with friends and chat. Also: they brouhght some food and I offered some food and we had lots of little plates of stuff and it was so good to sit and chat and enjoy company, and particularly to do so at my place!

This morning, the permabee didn't just get the roof frame up and the netting over it, they also trimmed some of the trees, chopped up the branches, sieved my compost, and helped gather up the leaves all around the yard for a new compost.
What would have taken me a couple of weeks to do, piecemeal? All done in four hours. FANTASTIC.
Although the compost is a bit stinky. There's a dead rat, and some seriously rotted vegetable matter in there.
And, as it turned out, two neighbours left me their grass clippings. I am slowly training my neighbours to bring me their grass clippings...although come to think of it, I should check if they're using any broadleaf herbicides, because some of those things are Not Good for gardens.

Tomorrow is a sewing day, from 9-4pm - I'm going to take some clothing to try to get finished. I always have Intentions for making clothing in spring and it never actually eventuates. *grr*
Then the neighbourhood trick or treat from 4-6. Still have to decide what I'm going to wear for a costume. I mean, there's always the wonder woman t-shirt and the tiara I have. Don't have the bracelets, though. Could probably make them out of foil, but they wouldn't match the tiara.
I am kind of wishing that I'd invited a few close church friends over for the trick or treating tomorrow night, but I think I'm socialised out this week. I might see if friends are free/interested next week, maybe for a Friday night BBQ. BYO meat and alcohol (we're not big drinkers)? Must check the weather.

I have a plot for YT! It is plotty! And likely to be long! EEK!
