I went to vote at 0730 yesterday. I wasn't expecting anyone else to be there, but got stuck behind a line of nuns.

One day of heavy rain has decimated my footpath garden. I've covered everything, but too late for most. I miss when slugs were stealing my lettuces in my living room..

Okay so it's probably a totally random coincidence and definitely not systematic sexism but I got a letter from the NHS addressed to both me and my brother and even though I'm Dr (clearly superior) and alphabetically first, it's still "Mr and Dr Guy".

Edit: Handed the letter to Dave when he got home from work and the first thing he said was "with your impressive title and the fact you did all the work for this, but my name is first? Wtf sexism." So he's raised right.

A pox upon gumtree people who ask "is this still available" then never respond again.

Homegrown mushrooms on homemade sourdough, with homegrown lettuce leaves and home-sprouted chickpeas. The ultimate lockdown breakfast?

• Made sourdough again, and sourdough rye, and lemon cakes; falafel and flatbread; pizza; and other tasty things.
• Stayed really warm most of the week. Coffee on the beach in the morning is still as magical as the first time.
• Moved my indoor salad planter to outside, and replanted the carrots in the big tire planter. Promptly lost all four remaining outdoor lettuces to wind and sunburn, alas. Planted bok choy seeds there instead. The radishes look battered, but are growing new leaves and might make it (apart from one). Also planted chard seeds in big pots.
• Got a bunch more planters and pots from Freegle to expand the footpath-garden. Made my inside windowsill garden more civilised, and some chilli and basil have sprouted! Various plant photos.
• Walked through the woods on the way to Glenrothes, up to an ancient bridge. Picked up lots of rubbish on the way.
• Had an exciting trip to B&Q for yet more compost.
• Mushrooms grew dramatically and started dropping spores. So beautiful. Harvested and ate them! Amazing.
• Also crocheted a mushroom.
