I also have Kombucha, mostly grown in green tea, and another fabulously tasty drink that would grace any dinner table. A brilliant pick me up at teatime, I find.

Garden / Weed Strimming, Electric I have a cordless electric strimmer, and am generally happy to do some strimming work if it's near me. The battery is good for 20-30 minutes, so can get all edges on a good sized garden. Rate (10 cams) is for doing the strimming work, assuming a 20-30 minute effort, and assuming I am walking to you, somewhere within a 1km radius of me (Marleigh, Ditton, Whitehill, Ekin, etc.) Apologies, I am currently not comfortable lending this tool for others to use.

Garden Planning Design We have a subscription, and have been long-term users of a garden planning application called GrowVeg (https://www.growveg.co.uk/garden-planner-intro.aspx) The application has helped us plan and manage 200m2 of garden space, for several years. In short, it is a vegetable garden planning application featuring personalised planting charts, crop rotation warnings, planting reminders, etc., built on a large database of vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers, and expert advice. The applications lets us easily draw out a garden, inclusive of however much detail you wish (veg only, or veg, furniture, and flowers). It enables gardeners to optimise the precious garden space. It lets you plan the planting (with advice provided in the app, to support the planning) in time / month-by-month. It also helps you understand companion planting, to better place complementary plants that benefit each other. This way, your garden can perform more efficiently. If you would be interested to give the application a try with or without our support, we would be happy to have you by to give it a try for yourself, or we are happy to steer the application with you. We would just ask that you come prepared with some garden dimensions, and some initial ideas. The output: We can send you a PDF of the resulting plan and supporting information. This is a year-round offer. It's never a bad time to start using this application. In fact, the app is very helpful for identifying opportunities for planting at any time/any season!

Pets

Advice about a new kitten A new kitten can be wonderful and also exhausting. While they are young there are many things which they can be introduced to which will be helpful as they mature for instance getting them used to having a bath for the future moment when they accidentally squeeze under a newly painted fence or teaching them how to take pills before they need to. There are other things they may need to do when they are older which will not be so much of a shock if you teach them while they are young. These include letting you trim their claws so they are not so sharp, letting you regularly examine their ears, eyes and mouths as a general health check and teaching them to willingly get into their travel baskets or bags.

Excel Data Management Support Through my professional role, and tackling some other tasks for various charitable organisations over the years, I've built up proficiency with moderate to advanced Excel practices/features, particularly related to data management and dashboarding. In particular, where individuals or organisations are collecting and manually managing data (e.g. overseeing their regular operations, or managing projects), I have been able to review and advise and implement better ways of working, such that data management is more automated, the data quality is better, and you can create visual dashboards to better understand and communicate the data you are collecting and managing. If you have data collections you are building/maintaining for any purpose, and haven't thought about this before, perhaps we can have a look together and see if there are any opportunities to cut down your management effort, and to begin producing influential outputs. I would suggest an initial meeting (60-90 minutes) at 10 cams/hour. We can make follow-up decisions after, about further work. Happy to work through any GDPR-related agreements, if relevant/needed.

French conversation classes I'm writing to you because you (may have) expressed an interest in brushing the rust off your A level French from the last century (!) and returning it to active use. I'm running informal but themed and structured French classes chez moi at 89 Roseford Road,CB42HB from Tuesday October 15 morning from 10-11:30. Coffee will be served. The tuition fee is £12 (or 12 cams for Camlets members). A qualified and very experienced language teacher, my classes aim to practise essential French structures orally so that they become automatic; improve your pronunciation; provide fail-safe coping strategies, and improve your listening skills. Confidence-building, self- expression and fun will be the order of the day in a safe setting. Motivation is the prime factor in successful language learning. Not memory. Not graft. Not aptitude.... So on completion of the course (by May) you can look forward to the reward of an optional 6-day residential course at our house in south west France where you can immerse yourself in French life, holding your own fluently and confidently in a range of authentic settings: preparing a meal; a meeting with a local Maire; a Q & A with a local Office de Tourisme; a country walk n' talk; une viste à la ferme; a guided tour of Clairevivre (look it up); making an enquiry on the telephone; a meal in a restaurant, etc. If this piques your interest get back to me. Feel free to tell anyone with rusty knowledge of French you think would benefit from these classes. Class size ware limited to 6 or 7 so dépêchez-vous! à très bientôt, David (12 cams cams)
