Good afternoon, dull but dry today and very mild, covered the cardboard with a mix of soil and old compost, will now let it settle for a couple of weeks, if I can wait that long, though being a married man I have had lots of practice of having to wait watching the boys just now but will try and get a bit of gardening work done tonight even if it's tidying up the greenhouse, naw maybe nothing as drastic as that yet, you start tidying up and some folk (OH) think you should do lots more

Sorry to hear about your car rary. Was it badly damaged?

The back bumper panel and end panel are damaged Nicos, have to head to East Kilbride on Saturday to get an estimate for the repair, this was supposed to be the car to last me into my old age but not so sure now as I said two bumps in 13 months and the car isn't 2 years old yet, fortunately there has been no structural damage with them, but will need to give it some consideration and talk to the bank manager, though possibly I should wait till she's in a good mood, now that could be several weeks, or months before that might happen I can't understand why she can be so crabbit at times when she has me

Evening all, really warm here today. switched power off to heated greenhouse and opened the doors of both. Chucked the shallots out of the unheated house as well. Power switched on again and doors closed just as it turned dark and shallots placed in cold frame. It's not spring yet but it's coming

Evening all, turned out a lovely day in the end.
Visited Daughter and she is on a real low, nothing we can do but listen is there?
Did come back with a large black sack of carp as I thought we would.
Will sort that out tomorrow.
Looking forward to a nice evening watching whatever’s on tonight.
Have a good evening folks

this was supposed to be the car to last me into my old age:

You should have traded it in years ago, rary.

Didn't think I'd miss a chance of reminding you, did you?

Its been a sunshiny day (as ever) spent potting up my toms, cukes and courgettes, some of which are banished to the GH for the rest of their days. Hope they're not shivering as its only 7C at the mo. Nothing ventured and if they turn up their toes, there's plenty of time to sow them when normal gardeners do so.

Mornings!
Another miserable foggy/grey start to the day, I hope it clears quicker than it did yesterday.
Got a phone call yesterday with appointment for this afternoon - for assessment of my back. Wish me luck!
Can't get there by bus, luckily my daughter is off so she can take me. May have to have a wander round the garden centre after, if they haven't pulled me about too much

Have a good'un

Morning, all. Frost here this morning. No surprises there. But daytime temps are abnormally high. I keep going outside just to warm up!

Hope you all have a great day.

[Nannysally99]

Morning all, we too have had a foggy start. Clearing a little, which is good as I’ve washing to dry
Bought some dahlia bulbs yesterday. Only small ones for the border maybe.
Probably might grow a few in tubs, being as it’s no spuds this year.
Have a good day folks

[Nicos]

Morning, all. Frost here this morning. No surprises there. But daytime temps are abnormally high. I keep going outside just to warm up!

Hope you all have a great day.

It's already 15C this morning...supposed to be reaching 18C today
What temps are you getting now Snoop?
* am thinking I shouldn't have put on so many layers this morning

[Snoop Puss]

We're forecast 20 ºC today. No idea what it was overnight as my max-min thermometer stopped working in the cold one night. Can't get the liquid to join back up, regardless of how much I shake it. Should probably buy another, as I always like knowing what's what.

[Bren In Pots]

Afternoon, we've got sunshine I've been out and about up until now either in the garden or shopping it does feel good not to need a coat on.
