Corona Cavern

Morning
Didnt do farm shop yesterday so planned for either today or tomorrow with supermarket /prescription and any shopping mum needs dropping off and anything mil needs dropped at her care home . It's good that OH can talk to her , my dad doesnt communicate anymore and its difficult. Neither of us able to get a delivery slot isnt helping.
If not shopping I will get OH helping me clean the greenhouse , get the pressure washer at it.

Have a good day whatever you do

Good luck, CG. Difficult times.

Mr Snoop has gone off to do the next two weeks' worth of shopping. I forgot to put lentils and rice on the list. Hope that wasn't a mistake. We're eating an awful lot of pulses these days. Meat from the freezer is becoming a rare treat. Probably the right kind of diet (if you ignore all the cakes and biscuits). Might crack open a can of confit de canard at the weekend and really live it up!

Snoop . I end up sending OH messages when I forget to add things to list
Hope your shopping went well.


A day gardening..weeding out thistles, nettles, docks, dog daisy and elder . Ready for compost area .
Planning a.raised bed for my cuttings/split plants area too and eventually a raised bed I planned to have 7yrs ago before life started to go a bit off the rails

Wondering also if I could utilise another flowerbeds this yr for growing. It's full sun from 12 all day though. I was just going to put annual flowers in for this yr..but ??.
Perhaps should put on another thread.

Sat outside listening to the birdsong and watching the sun go down. Lovely .

Another fantastic day in the garden, the bird food is running low so will eventually have to hit up the shops. The flowers are coming in the garden and so are the insects...

I won the quiz. They're taste in music is round about the same as mine but I'm a little more on the edge of the edge.
And I came up with the idea so was bound to win

Did you write the questions too, Bladdy?

We could have a Quiz on here! Who wants to be Question master/mistress?

Evening each, we ventured out to the bigger village to get a few essential supplies from the mini supermarket, first time in a couple of weeks. We have got a delivery slot from Tescos coming, but not until the 28th, so a few bits to keep us going till then. Managed to keep away from folk so hopefully we will not have to go again for another 4 weeks, which by then might mean some fresh salad crops from the greenhouse to supplement what ever is delivered.

[Baldy]

This would be a good idea, except Mr Snoop almost never takes his mobile phone out with him.

Good expedition Burnie.


Morning
A nip in the air but no frost . Sun is shining and its food shop day . The joy. Will deliver to the parents and come back to
Gardening of some sort.
I looked at the growings for full sun , runners would be ok there but may stick with annuals. May see if there are any plugs around eventually ,to help me along this yr.
My sp onions have germinated...whoop.

Have a good day

[Florence Fennel]

Pure luck got a slot for shopping at As**a for the 26th, so my neighbours and I are sorted for another week, yay. I haven't been in a supermarket for over 10years so I'm not about to start now unless we get desperate! Oh and Te**o can do one in future.

[Jay22]

I managed to get a priority slot with Tesco, coming later, will be interested to see what substitutions there will be. Fingers crossed they have the chicken I ordered, I’m desperate for chicken curry!

[Containergardener]

Well done on your slots . OH succeeded pretty much in supermarket , somethings they didnt have . When he first went in there was no salad at all, not a tomato. Then a load of staff appeared to fill up. Managed to.get chicken too.
Also got me some garden mags . Lots of seeds.
Then went outside to play in the greenhouse , sowing seeds.
Pizza for tea, dogs need a walk first.
