Chitchat thread #24

Morning all.

Really hard frost down in the fields last night. So cold I even had a hot water bottle and both the cats wanted to be on the bed. Should have lit a fire... they'd have basked in front of that instead.

Done one good job so far: booked my car in for its MOT tomorrow afternoon. Just as well I remembered, as it expires on Thursday.

Off now to go and sow some seeds. The compost and water will be a bit cold, but it's bright so with any luck I can get the modules ready and leave them to warm up a bit before I put the seeds in.

Then off out for lunch and back home for a bit more sowing.

Hope all the poorly folk are feeling better. I'm doing shallow breathing in a bid to ignore the fact that I keep wanting to cough...

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all.
No frost here, a bit on the dull side but its 9 degs.

Must go and buy some birthday cards, we have so many in April.
Some Easter eggs to get as well,
Hopefully some time in the garden later.
Have a good day all,

Hi All,
I felt the air last night and I thought it would freeze and by 2a.m. it had, just as the garden was coming to life an all now looks like it'll be put back for a week unless we get some decent Sun.

Now 10:40a.m. Sunny but a chill in the air, ah well that's life!

Geoff.

Good Morning All Sunny again here and 6 degs. Hope the invalids are feeling better. I've some windows to clean when the Sun's not shining on them so I'd better get on. Have a good day All

Afternoon!
Washing is on the line here too. Tis a beautiful sunny day now.
Pity though that all the magnolia petals have turned brown already after last nights frost. Clearly quite a heavy one. That poor blossom hasn’t half taken a beating this week….first those super strong winds, and now the frost.

oh no Snoop- don’t be getting a cold just as you are going away…….fingers crossed a decent cup or two of tea will sort out that tickle….
Speaking of which…..it really must be time for a brew!

[Bren In Pots]

Best place outdoors is in my GH just now its 24.1c and that's with the door, louvers and auto vents open.

Just come indoors for lunch Nicos so a mug of tea would be welcome.

[Nicos]

On its way Bren!…..There’s a small piece of mango, coconut and ginger slab cake left too if you fancy that? It’d save me eating it!

[Jay22]

^^^am I too late?!!

[Nicos]

Always a spare slice for you too Jay! ( nips over to freezer to defrost another piece)

[Nicos]

Early night for me….I ended up in charge of the shredder!…One gardening toy I absolutely love playing with
Sleep tight everyone - full moon in a couple of days, hopefully you’ll get to enjoy the bright moonlight.

[Jay22]

Thank you Nicos…delicious! 😁

Good morning. A rather grey and wet morning here. Yesterday was a proper Spring day. My sandals even came out of hibernation, I think they can go back again today however.

The workmen finished the trench down our road by lunchtime yesterday and cleaned up after themselves. I wish the workmen on the M1 were as efficient and neat.

I did the grory hop yesterday and, yet again, got everything except Mr GF's favourite yoghurts. I also made more blackberry buns while the oven was on.

Good morning all.
A dull grey morning but very mild.
A trip to the hairdressers this morning.
Doing an Easter egg hunt for my grandson this afternoon.
I cant see myself getting any time for gardening today,
Have a good day all.
