Paint and Potatoes

Last time we had a bit of time at home (at the end of April), I painted half of the window frames—I've now finished them, so all of the windows installed last year have had a coat of paint this year. Some touching-up is required for the insides, but that's much less urgent, as it can happen in rainy weather, so long as it's still reasonably warm. While I painted the frames, Liz was busy cleaning the glass, and that looks immeasurably better. I'll have to go up a ladder to do the first-floor ones later.

I also mowed the lawn, for the first time since marking the pond: the lifted-turf 'firebreak' works well. We also brought up some more of the Lady Christl potatoes: we've had a couple of plants up as new potatoes now. In theory, we should have started with the Rocket, but a Lady Christl was looking sad, so it came up first. They are delicious, and cook really quickly.
