I actually went to ask her a question about potatoes, lol. Have just been out to buy seed potatoes for school (yes, I know we’re running a bit late, but not horrendously so I don’t think) with Big. We got two first earlies and a second early, and Big asked where seed potatoes come from. I kind of assume that they are just potatoes from the relevant plants, but I didn’t want to say that and that be wrong, so I was going to Kris’s to ask, as I know she knows lots about potatoes.

Must go and rescue some clothes from the line or we’re going to be interestingly dressed tomorrow – think I need to bring in a couple of days worth at least. I probably should have gone out first thing this morning and beat the ice off them, they’d be a lot dryer by now. But I didn’t. First thing this morning I was trying to ignore the small ppl who kept running in and out and shouting. Eventually I did rise and shine and we’ve managed a few more errands today – Tim took a bunch of stuff to the tip household waste recycling centre while I took the kids out to bank cheques and shop. This latter expedition would have been so much more successful if I’d taken my purse with me (cue cursing and turning around and coming back) and then if the cheque paying in machine had been working. (I wonder if they’ve fixed it in between and had it break again or whether it’s just been broken all week?) But we did go on to the coop and get the shopping down – resisted temptation much better this week and dropped the bill by £20 and that was even with buying beer. Can’t quite figure out what was so expensive last week, must pay more attention.

Children appear to have benefited from the half hour separation of the potato buying expedition – Small had been being deeply horrid before that but it sounds much calmer now. Oh, so tired again. Is it bedtime yet?

  1. Yes, seed potatoes are just little potatoes grown in exactly the same way as normal spuds, except they tend to be grown in the coastal parts of Scotland, far enough north to escape the aphids that carry unpleasant potato diseases.
    Can I be anorakish and ask what varieties you got? 😀

  2. Two first earlies, Pentland Javelin, and Organic Premiere and Maris Peer for a second early. Did I do alright?
