This list could go further however, in note form, it is quite extensive and I don't have the time to complete it in one session, today. It is 26 days since my paid work/job was suspended due to the COVID 19 pandemic - and 23 days since the Uk 'lockdown' was instigated and since then I have had much more time to commit to gardening the allotment garden of Nowhere in particular. In an ordinary working week  (in April, in times less extraordinary) I would have/make a short time in the mornings before work to check the polytunnel, an hour to an hour and a half after work to do site work (planting out/sowing/weeding/watering) - and then 16-20 hours over the weekend. That's a total of about 30 hours a week from April to September. Adjusting to the conditions imposed by the pandemic is proving challenging in a variety of ways.
