My well earned day off!!

Today i needed a day off, a day away from the computer and in need of plenty of fresh air.
So the day started by getting up nice and early and going to the market to see what was on offer, turns out there wasn't much there today, but i love to have a look around- you never know what you might find!
We then went to the allotment for afew hours, got a few rows of our second early potato's in - Maris peer , weeded all the empty beds and sprinkled green manure seeds on some of the beds that did not have anything in them over the winter.  We had one of our last bonfires for this winter ( its not aloud after 1st April ) i love the smell of bonfires.  It was busy there today, everybody working hard but there is always time for a natter- us all saying how happy we are to be back on the allotment and to get back into it.  The effects the sunshine has on people is magic.


Then as we do every Tuesday we went over to Medway to pick up the nephew from school and look after him for the evening- as it was a beautiful day we went straight to `Riverside Country Park' for a few hours- it was particularly beautiful there today,

in the distance you can see the power station on the Isle of Grain

many ship wrecks make this place a real adventure when your with a 9 year old!







here we had just taken over the island and Jacob was the worlds greatest explorer,


 a washed up boat engine ,once the heart of a working vessel
 now all seized up and covered in moss - but still as beautiful,




 as the hours went on ,,, who can throw the stone the furthest,,,,




Just another manic monday ,,,,

 ,,,,aaagghhh!!! I wish it was Sunday!!!

Songs aside, a manic Monday indeed- after spending all week working on a photo shop technique for my plan and sections, turns out that the rendering of any plan ,section or drawing  arnt as important as i thought -
We have now been told that getting all the drawings ( in ink )and annotated first is most important - then render. Ok this is fine i had done all my drawings in ink that's why i tried the photo shop method- however i had not finished all my annotation- so now i know
- ink
- annotation 
- render

This week :
-finnish the 1:200 plan- (in ink , annotated with a key with a third/strip rendered)
-planting plan/shedule 1:200 (CAD)
-print off chosen 1:50 area on A1

For Advanced Rep:
- start designing and building my website
