    Wormy compost with a lovely earthy smell.
    It's bound to be full of weed seeds but they're my weeds so I know what I'm getting.

    My Pink Parrot tulips have come up again (4-5 years old I think) so good doers and I had the foresight last year to plant some purple ones nearby - result!

    Pink tree peony in full flower and perfume after a severe hacking last year when it looked ropey after an early heatwave and drought.

    Also, the current 10km distance limit has been increased to 30kms in order to allow people to practise outdoor sports at a club where they are a member so OH can go and play golf after all.  He's happy and I can play while he's not looking, starting with binning a lot of old preserves made in Belgium, possibly rhubarb chutney and way too much of it.

    my rtbc is that as I always wear a mask in public, I only have to shave about once a week.

    Most things labelled ' possibly ' are either treasures or suspect. Being unadventurous and of a weak stomach, I'd bin the lot. But who knows what delights I would have missed? I have some two or three year old green tomato chutney from a recipe recommended by Dove. It's probably delicious. she who dares wins - or not.
     @Hostafan1 Most of my worst wrinkles are at mask level. I think I will always wear one purely for hygiene reasons of course.

    They aren't labelled @B3 but they have that look.

    @Hostafan1 masks or not, winter means shaving legs just once a month!

    What look? Malignant and festering or unctuously maturing @Obelixx?

    The latter of course but having eaten not a one in the last 4 years I don't thing I need a dozen or more.

    Do they have those bottle stalks a fetes over there? You know the one where you stick a raffle ticket on each bottle? If not, bury them as a sort of time capsule. In a thousand years, they'll be identified as an offering to the gods or something similar to Pepys cheese.
