Morning , a rather misty start and only 5° but it’s brightening up a bit now.
Treatment went well yesterday and got good scan results too so very happy! Thanks for the kind words folks!
Have a great day everyone!! x

The dahlias were in tubs too small for them Bramble. I've never grown them before and misjudged how big they would be. I'm going to put them in bigger containers next year if I can get them to overwinter. Do you lift yours?
I too was awake at half four this morning. Neck ache was plaguing me until half six, so I read what is proving to be a dreary book. I dropped off holding a cup of tea, which spilt on to the bed and woke me up with a shock!

Snoop, I was very happy about having the pneumococcal jab at the same time as the flu jab. No extra trip to the doctor's and, as someone who hates needles, it was done before I got to do any extra worrying about it. No ill effects either.

Morning all.

Were you not happy about the pneumococcal vaccine, GF?

Very dull and a very chilly wind out there. I've got gardening I need to do as well. Supposedly going to brighten up later on. If not, I'll have to dress up very warm. We had rain yesterday. 8 mm and very welcome they were too.

So far today, I've done a few admin jobs I've been putting off. Goodness knows why - they weren't that awful in the end. I shouldn't procrastinate so much... Got a bit of paid work I need to finish and then, weather permitting, out in the garden.

Oh, I should say that if you haven't seen the smiles yet, they were very late setting off. Missy had us all awake till 2.00 am, fighting (mostly) with Mr Snoop's newspaper. Very funny, but we're all tired this morning. It has to be said that the smiles were more sensible than us. They enjoyed the show at a distance and didn't join in... My hands are rather sore this morning.

Have a great rest of the day, everyone.

Good morning all..its bright and breezy here at 12 degs.
Laundry is out flying in the breeze,
Lots of errands this morning and some domestics.
Some tidying in the garden and the greenhouse this afternoon.

Flo, I was surprised to see you had cut your dahlias down so early.
Mine are still flowering really well and looking healthy.

Nicos is the pneumonia vaccine a one off, I have heard conflicting reports.

Have a good day all.

Good morning all.

Commiserations Nicos, I'm another who has had a bad night's sleep. Awake at 4.30am, ended up doing sudokus on my phone. We can't blame the full moon....it's a new one.

Why do you have to collect your vaccines, Nicos? What do you do with them then?

I've just had a text reminder to my phone that Mr GF, his brother and myself have got our flu jabs tomorrow at our surgery. Last year the doctor stuck a pneumococcal vaccine in my other arm while I was there for the flu jab.

Time to get something done now.

Morning
According to 3 weather forecasts its supposed to be fine here we just got the laundry out as it rained. Don't you just hate that.

Plan for today is sorting out the GH, removing finished plants and general tidying.

Enjoy your day

waves at Nicos you sneaked in while i was posting.

Mornin n’alln’all

Another bad night sleeping so it’s a late start for me.
Looks like we have the wind and drizzle today, so not sure what gardening will get done!

We have to collect our pneumonia vaccines at some point today so apart from that, not quite sure!

Anyway, enjoy your day peeps

No date on the bags......but I have tried one of each........just to make sure they're okay.🤫

Edit: Found a tiny date. December 24😁

[Florence Fennel]

Afternoon All I've been in the garden clearing summer bedding. Now enjoying a cup of tea and a sit down. It's looking like rain now, so that's probably all I'll get done today.
I've seen loads of chocolates going cheap lately, but the use by date is November 24, so no good for my Saturnalia goody bags. Have yours got a longer date GF?
