Morning! Porrridge with cranberries and some sort of small black seeds (forget what they are called).Need the porridge because it's still so flipping dull and cold out there! Beginning to wonder if summer has passed.

Today will be spent indoors moving furniture. I gave up the dining room when mutt became ill and I put my bed in there so I could sleep beside him in case he needed me. However I've really missed the table, I used it a lot for eating/crafting/potting on etc and I've decided the table is going up again. Me and mutt will sleep in the living room for a while and see how that works out. Lordy I wish I had a bungalow, lol.

Anyway, hope you all have a good day whatever you are doing.

[gardening_gal]

gg...will send some of it up to you if you want?

Oh if only........*sigh*

Thanks for the thought though.

All potatoes out, eventually. This last lot look like they would have been great if I'd got them planted out in time. Laurette, supposedly an improvement on Charlotte. Lovely thick chits and lots of them per potato. Always next year...

Yet more bindweed out. Fencing on one half of the veg patch now complete. Have decided to use something like cattle fencing for the climbing beans. Easy to do, beans should be able to climb readily and shouldn't slide back down to ground level. Materials available, Mr Snoop agrees it's a goer of an idea. Will get on the case for that this week.

If we're reporting on food, my cooking today post went a bit awry and we've ended up having brunch. Toast and hummus, banana, yogurt and... a mini almond Magnum. Disgraceful but delicious.

Mornings! (just)

Bit achy this morning after bean planting yesterday, so just pottering for me today.
I managed to tie the remains of the washing line together about 6ft off the ground, so short stuff drying ok. Sheets dried overnight hanging on the shower rail LOL Must get it fixed soon though....

Have a good'un

OH has decided to clear out part of the barn
Everything is out all over the patio, lawn, table...any flat surface you care to name
I think he's sorting things into piles....things to keep, things to store, things to sell, things for the tip.
I'll rearrange them later

[Thelma Sanders]

Like your style Nicos

Rary,You're getting younger by the day

VC please note the above statement from that nice young lady Snoop Puss

[veggiechicken]

Snoop is too polite to say that you're confused and don't know what day it is.............but I'm not.

[Snoop Puss]

^^ I'm saying nothing, me.

Anyway, up early to get water up from the well and maybe sow some seeds. Then tedious paid work. Due to reach 29 ºC today according to the state weather forecasters, 36 ºC according to the local ones. Yesterday was hot, that's for sure.

Masses of paid work to get through today and tomorrow. Then a few days off to prepare for an onslaught of visitors. Better get cracking.

Have a good day, everyone.

Mornin n'alln'all
Still warm but have more cloud cover today.
Got a tad of a suntan yesterday

Off swimming this lunchtime. Restarting the fitness thingy to go with my diet!

Apart from that....anyone care to help me iron a pile of bedding?
Thought not

Have a great day peeps -especially Flo!

We have weak sun. Yay! The forecast says overcast cloud so I don't expect it'll last but it's still nice to see a bit of brightness.

Spent my first night in the livingroom on a mattress on the floor last night. Wasn't the best time I've ever had but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Mutt kept lifting his head to make sure I was still there. Feel sorry for him but he's determined he's going nowhere just yet so I'm there for him all the way. Single mattress on the floor or not. Lol.

I watched seedlings emerge from the soil last night, they were bent over and still had the seed husk on them. This morning the husk is off and they are upright, at least an inch and a half tall, standing proud like they'd been there for ages. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

Anyway off to tidy. Have a good one.

Nicos.......... No. Just no.
