I had a strange night last night. I could not quite finish digesting my food which sat in my stomach for about four hours. Went to bed at 10:00pm  and slept until about 2:30 am.

I would be surprised if  more than 1 cc was given. ...

This morning was committee time. By that I mean that our Allotment Association of which I was chair met to discuss the condition of each plot and whether 'notice of dirty plot' letters needed to be sent. At 10 am the four of us gathered and walked up and down the 64 plots discussing each one and deciding on the need to reprimand or more like it advise the tenant that something needed to be done....
