Had a cool start this morning, but sun came out about 11 and has just got warmer as the day progressed, strung up all my onions and cleared out some crocosmia, I intended to do some work on my replacement gate but decided to just enjoy the sunshine, though I have been planning changes in the greenhouse, instead of one large bed I am thinking of making 4 small beds 15in. wide by 30in. long that way I can play about with different feeds to see if there is any great difference in growth, taste and harvest, so working on that over the winter shoukd keep me busy and therfore might avoid housework🙄 OH is talking about getting all the cupboards and drawers cleaned out, this is to save the children any bother if/whenwe are not here, dont understand hat I recon I have another 40 years yet😏 see how lucky some of you will be😁 right off to make the tea. Keep smiling and pass them on🙂🙂🙂

Good evening all.
We had a lovely sunny day here and the temp went up to 22 degs.
After I came back from the hairdressers I was asked to look after my grandson for the afternoon.
We ended up going to the toy store...He has been asking for the junior monopoly game.
So, spent the evening playing monopoly.
Have a good night all.

Morning

Rain and thunder here for today, plenty of indoor hobbies to keep me occupied.

Rary I like your greenhouse plan it'll be interesting to see what difference it makes to the harvest.

Enjoy your family and friends get together Lottie.

CG not crocheted anything recently, yesterday I did sew the ends in on a scarf I'd finished earlier looking at the drop in the weather I might need it soon. What are you working on just now I'm a bit stuck what to crochet next, I've only made small items up to yet.

A truly dismal morning again, grey and rainy. The forecast for midweek is predicting night time temperatures of 6°C. I'm sure it won't be long before my car starts giving me frost/ice warnings. Having to scrape the windscreen usually gives me a clue!

Yesterday I decided to take down and wash some ornaments that were well overdue for a clean. They look great now but unfortunately everything else now looks grubby, particularly as I also took down a glass lampshade and washed it. I am even contemplating doing some decorating this Winter. I really like wallpapering but can't stand the smell of gloss paint. I'm just wondering how long this phase is going to last.

I think I'm going to put the central heating on next.

Happy birthday Littie, I hope you have a wonderful day with your family.

Good morning all, its dull but its dry.
Going to church and then out to lunch with some of the family.
Have a good day all.

[Florence Fennel]

Have a lovely day with your family Lottie, Happy Birthday x

Happy Birthday LD. Have a great day.🎂🥂🍾

I'm still in this weird cleaning mode. Among other things I've got the window vac out and cleaned all my mirrors, including the full length wardrobe doors and the insides of all my windows.

Happy Birthday, LD 🎈🙂- queen for a day! Hope someone else is cooking today.

Good afternoon, a nice warm sunny day here, just home from church and having a quick bite to eat before going out to sit in the sun for having a lazy day today, well thats the plan just now. Cg at present I have a large raised bed in my greenhouse where I grow my tomatoes, along with cucumbers, peppers basil lettuce and marigolds, I intend removing the bed and constructing an other four smaller beds in which I will grow different varieties of tomatoes, but more importantly I can try different soils and feeds, on thinking on this I was going to plant the different varieties in single beds but to get a more accurate assessment I think I need to grow three or four different varieties in each bed, I just need to have the same variety in the same position in each bed, well thats my plan just now😀 I dont understand why you didnt know that, I thought all OHs could read the minds of men, ere has been many times over the years where my OH has turned to me and said "Dont even think on doing that" and thats without me saying or doing anything🤔 women are funny and hard to fathom. With that I will wish Lotty a happy birthday, and everyone else a pleasant day and lots of smiles🙂🙂🙂

Afternoon all.

First off: best wishes for a very happy birthday, LD. Hope you're having a lovely time. And yes, I'd love a piece of cake and a cup of tea.

Rary, wives only know what their own OHs are thinking. It would be too much to know what other wives' OHs are thinking too. We'd never get anything done for worrying.

GF, make the most of the cleaning mode while it lasts. In my experience, it's very short-lived.

Have a great rest of the day, everyone.
