I eventually got my trip to the local garden centre while I was out. I got a nice bowl of spring bulbs for tomorrow's birthday "boy", a couple of afternoon tea vouchers for a niece's birthday later in the month, bird food, some seeds and shallots.

I've just got home and the aroma from the slow cooker met me at the door (chicken curry).

I went and had some fun,was nice very friendly peeps,i will be going again,the dancing side is is mainly based on line dance,standing all apart,i eventually braved it and had a go,i know i will never learn or remember any of the moves,but no one cares about that,is good fun and good company,one of the volunteers said,it a bit hectic ,my reply was no is not,it is good fun how i like it,and just wait until i am really out my shell,,hahaha i hope i not get chucked out for being to alive,it seems most of us are widowed,so have things in common,i was introduced to a lot of ladies,and a few even came to me and said hello,you new here,i felt at home,some ladies were telling me about other things they go to,next week i will take more notice,nothing doing on my dating site,am going to come of it,it does not feel like me,although i would still like to meet with a gent,night night,from a contented LD

Good Morning All and Happy Friday Freezing here but dry. Have a good day

[greenishfing]

Good morning all. A thick layer of frost on everything here. It looks very, very cold outside.

Lottie, it's good to hear that you had fun and met some new people.

We're off to a birthday party this afternoon about a mile away. I'm hoping everything is well defrosted by then.

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Sounds like you had a jolly time, LD. Good way to meet people by the sound of it.

How's your kitchen advancing, FF?

Weatherwise the same here, GF. Perishing cold. Mr Snoop has just gone out with the dogs. Rather him than me. My job is to nurse the range while he's out.

Busy day again. Didn't get the apple trees planted yesterday. Try again today. However, I did get my second asparagus trench dug by the man with the digger who dropped in to say hello. But seeing as that took no effort whatsoever on my part, I can't really claim it as an achievement.

Hope you all have a great day. The smiles say they'll be round in a bit. They're having a lie-in, it would seem. No hunters for some reason, even though it's a hunting day, so they've decided to set off a bit later.

Morning

Its sunny and frosty out, grounds to hard to garden though so just general tidying up out there today. Just spotted the Sparrows carrying bit of grass around so it looks like they're getting ready.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning all.

Nothing on the cards today.
Enjoy the birthday party GF.
Have a good day all.

[lottie dolly]

Morning all. no frost here first thing, though it was a chilly 1C. No wind though, and the sun is gloriously warm without it.

Bren, I have a pair of robins defending a spot in the winter clematis ready for nesting, and that infuriates the bluetits, as it is behind one of the bluetit boxes. It's not a box the tits use, as they have possession of two other boxes, but it still results in lots of chasing around, plus squabbling over the sunflower seeds.

[greenishfing]

Evening all. We went to the birthday party this afternoon and I am so glad I didn't get the birthday boy anything with Happy 95th birthday on it as I am wrong yet again. He is 96 today. That would have been embarrassing. It was a pleasant afternoon with the usual party fare and a cheeky little 4 year old stole everyone's heart.

[lottie dolly]

Good evening, it has been very cold here today, took daughter and her youngest son for their breakfast this morning, it was to a local charity organisation's tearoom, it was a very good breakfast, after that OH wanted to get something from an M&S shop then back home and out for a walk with the dog, after that I went out to see about a log burner for the greenhouse, I was going to make one but when I costed it all out, I could get a secondhand one for not much more and it is almost brand new, it has now been installed in the greenhouse and working well well keep safe, keep warm and keep smiling
