I turned the heating off 2 days ago. It’s back on. The plan was to do some gardening. I’ve been making pom-poms.

If we are lucky we put our heating off at the end of June, then back on mid August

[Nicos]

Mornin n'alln'all
Heating still on here too. We have loads of holes/gaps in our wall insulation due to the building work we're doing and can't buy the stuff to get on and fill them due to lockdown
Parts of the house are like living in a wind tunnel

Still, the wood fire is lit too which is lovely.

Deffo an indoor day today...think I'll sow more seeds.
Got absolutely nowhere to put them once they become seedlings but it may become survival of the fittest again!

I have heard that a large garden centre which is closed is receiving online and telephone orders and once they receive online payment will give a collection time. Plants etc are then loaded into your boot without you getting out.
Good idea and may just prevent them from going under....but it's a pity it's too far away from us to happen to be passing by (non essential visit according to the police)

Good Morning All Cold and windy here. No visitors, no pan Have a lovely Sunday

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings!

It's very grey and still blowing a hooley from the NE, which is very, very unusual for here, so blooming cold outside. Don't think I'll be doing any gardening It's just added snow into the mix for confirmation of that

Time for a book or a boxset, I reckon..

Stay safe everybody

Snaw! Two days ago I was sunbathing on my decking.

I'm now glad I left my plants on the bedroom windowsill as better leggy than dead.

Plans for today?.....I aint got any.

Strangely enough I am reading a fiction book involving the smallpox virus. The chain of events, including lockdown ,was exactly the same as what we are suffering now so Clive Cussler must have done some major research.

Its time to raid the freezer and see what meat I can rustle up for Sunday dinner. I have plenty of spuds but will deffo grow a few more of these staples this year.

Have a pleasant day folks and stay safe.

Morning, looks like a lovely day out there, as I’m still in bed I’m only guessing as the sun is streaming through the curtains! Should really get up but....
Hope you all have a lovely day. x

Can you tell me which Clive Cussler book that is please? I don't think I've read it.

Black Wind written in 2004......its a Dirk Pitt novel about a North Korea nutter taking on America using the Smallpox virus.

Good morning all.
Dull and cold here.
No plans for today other than read and potter around.
Stay safe all.

Ha ha! I'm just up to where the sub got sunk .. I first read it years ago, but thought it could do with a re-read as I can't go to the library now.

[greenishfing]

It is actually snowing her, not a lot though. The farthest I'm going today is the dustbin.

snow NONONONONO not wanted

[Aberdeenplotter]

it's bitterly cold out here but blazing sunshine. Recipe for disaster as young plants can fry very quickly.

I stuck my chicken curry recipe up on our local FB page earlier. Think I'll ask Pataks for some commission

[Snoop Puss]

Started to clear out some sheds and came across a stash of home made cider, probably 30 odd 2 litre bottles, it looks crystal clear but is probably 3-5 years old so it will be well matured or poison, not sure if I dare try it.

Why not? Vintage cider goes for a premium. Bet it's delicious.

Bright and sunny here. But due to get very cold from tomorrow on, with snow and loads more rain. Fortunately, our firewood delivery man has just dropped a load off with us. So we'll be all right for the rest of the season.

Better get a move on. Lots to do before tomorrow comes.

Have a good afternoon, everyone.
