Morning, it was chilly when I woke this morning, discovered someone had turned the heating off yesterday and had forgotten to put it back on schedule! It was warm in the house yesterday but definitely not this mornings. Brr!!
Sun is in and out this morning, can’t make its mind up. OH is going to paint the fence so I may go out and watch.
Have a great day everyone. x

Good morning all.
Dull and grey here but its dry.
No idea what today holds but sure something will come to mind.
Wish it would get a bit warmer.
Take care all and stay safe.

All change on the weather: it's absolutely bucketing it down. 5 cm/50 litres per square metre forecast. It'll be easy that if this carries on.

Good day there was some rain overnight but we are getting some sunny spells just now but there are some big black clouds about, I think I will sow some dwarf peas and beans today for growing in the greenhouse plus there are a couple of kale plants that are needing to be put into the compost bin so if it stays dry I will get that done, well keep safe and keep happy

Checked on you tube and it said I need a Torx screwdriver to loosen screws to fix oven. Went to a local hardware shop and after queueing managed to get a small set. Took the oven door off and tried some Torx keys none of which seemed to work. Tried a posi-drive screwdriver I already had and it worked, so a wasted journey.
Got it all apart and ordered a new element for a tenner even though OH said she wanted a new cooker.

I used the top oven to cook some steak mince and we had it with frying pan chips and peas.I am now boiling a few more spuds and intend making mince and potato pie with the remainder of the mince in the top oven to see if it works ok while I wait for the part for tuther oven to be delivered.

Bulb went on my oven months ago.......it doesn't stop it cooking!

True.. but the OH burns stuff even more..

I've done it but only had a 15w and needed a 25w.. that's life!

Evening
I haven't cooked in an oven for 2 years!! That's when I turned the Aga off and I won't be turning it back on again in a hurry. Aga's don't have bulbs either.

Been a cold but nice day for a bit pottering around. Makes me so happy to see all the fruit trees coming back to life. May have lost the almond but the others look good.

Bring it on, Spring, I'm ready for you.

Good Morning All Have a good day

Mornings!

Waiting for my compost delivery, they said they would text to let me know the time of delivery. They just have...…………………….. between 0800 and 1900. Thnx very much - very helpful NOT *grumble grumble*

No frost this morning, but it's still not warm and Mollycat seems to think |I should leave the door open... fat chance of that atm. Maybe later if we're lucky

Moved the Norfolk greenhouse to the otherside of the garden yesterday, it had been in the same place since 2007 and crops were decreasing. Easier to move the g/house and a few perennial plants than change the soil tbh. Just need to screw it down and it's good to go.

An easier day today for me, I'll probably finish my book once I've done that

Have a good'un and take care

[Snadger]

Morning all. Since OH is out of commission I am becoming quite an accomplished cook methinks!

Finished my Cussler book last night and will start J K Rowling's first book for grown ups called the Casual Vacancy tonight? I'll give it a few chapters and see what it's like if not return to my pile of Cussler books.

Luckily, before the charity shops closed their doors I managed to purchase a stockpile of books that should keep me going for a couple of months at least, all at 29p each.

I noticed whist walking the dog this morning that the wind is back with a vengeance.

I have been informed my load of logs will arrive either today or tomorrow so transporting and stocking them should help to keep me fit.

I think I have a cold (which I don't normally get) so I am sneezing, sore throat and stuffy head, no cough though which I am pleased about. Staying well away from OH just in case now.

TTFN folks and ya'll take care of yessell.

[Jay22]

Morning all, yes it’s very windy here with the odd shower but think it’s to brighten up later!
Not a lot on the cards for me as I’m not allowed to do much for 4-6 weeks! Normally that would sound great but I’m 2 weeks in and starting to itch to do some things!! OH is only letting me make cups of tea!! Might as well try to enjoy it when I can, normal service will hopefully be restored soon.
Enjoy your day. x

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Hope you make a speedy recovery, Snadger. Congrats on the greenhouse move, TS.

All good this end. Sky a terrible colour but not raining (at the moment). Plenty yesterday, as forecast.

Nothing special on the cards today, just more of the same but that's better than none of the same. So not complaining.

Have a good day, everyone. Catch you later.

[veggiechicken]

Happy Thursday.
Its raining, first time for about a week. Never thought I'd be pleased that its raining, but I am. Even better, I'd just put away my tools and come indoors. Perfect timing for once.

Hope you're all keeping busy and out of harm's way.
