Thanks Nicos Dress on today and fingers crossed for a sunny day

Morning, it looks like being sunny here for the next couple of days just what I need to ripen those toms

Nicos hope everyone is OK and that there's no damage.

Morning and thanks for the compliment Flo!!
Welcome back trip, nice to see you again, where have you been hiding?
Nicos, you were up early!!!! Hope all is well after that earthquake...wow!
Anyhoo, domestics for me today. No idea what the weather is doing as I’m still in bed and not ashamed to admit it!!
Have a great day everyone.

Morning, well the sun is trying to peep through all the clouds, but I shalln't be wearing a dress though, 6 foot 4 ex rugby player who still weighs over 16 stone, not a good look, especially with welly boots on.....................

[Jay22]

Oh but the wellies would make a great accessory burnie!!

[Jay22]

Now that trip’s back had anyone seen BM lately?

[Nicos]

He's not been on for a while has he?
His ears will be burning now we're talking about him

No damage here that I can see, but I do worry about some of our ancient double glazing....I imagine it wouldn't take much for the seals to blow?
Most of them are about 40 years old

Gardening day for me today -it's lovely out there!

[Nicos]

Ha!...just noticed that all my mirrors and pictures are lopsided!!!

[bramble]

Wow, it's all happening for you this morning Nicos.

Good to see you back Trip.

Not a lot happening g here.
Sun is shining and all is well.
Have a good day all.

Morning everyone, sunny here too.
Our garden is looking lovely, although I love that word verdant.
We are only growing runners this year, but lots of flowers, which are doing well (something to do with rain)
Hope alls well with you Nicos and the earthquake didn’t do any damage
Have a great day peeps

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings,
I popped out into the garden with a cuppa first thing, and have only just come back in. It is really lovely out there - if you can find a spot away from quite a cool breeze.
So looks like my morning porridge has become my lunch today lol.
Need to stop pottering around and actually do some planting on the plot this afternoon!

Have a good'un

[Tripmeup]

Well all…

All is good here ..have been keeping an eye on you through some infrequent lurking and selective thread reading

I think VC is still behaving herself (relatively)

Always busy as usual but all is good generally..
Eldest finished her secondary school exams and done with that phase of her life…college next probably: what course, who knows?

Other two kids playing lots of sports and I am doing lots of coaching too…They both finish up in school for summer holidays today..
We are all heading off on our Summer hols next Friday and I am so looking forward to it!! really need it....

Gardening wise ,I am still growing way too many chillies and tomatoes
Lots of other stuff on the go in the garden and trying to battle slugs as usual ..
Busy replacing an old garden archway and old rotting boards around my beds too, so all go...
always something to keep you busy

Mmh! Do you remember the Ted Moult adverts particularly about Tan Hill. He said you only do double glazing once. So why has that same Tan Hill pub recently had its double glazing replaced? I would really love to have the original casements back but about 200 years ago the Georgians replaced them with sashes. They were in relatively good condition when I took over the house but had them checked over and repaired. They have lasted over 200 years. I wouldn't touch UPVC windows with a bargepole.
