Good morning all. Cool but dry.
A visit to the hairdressers this morning and a quick grory hop.
Hope the mattress is not too wet gf.

Very satisfying to finish a jigsaw Bren.
I know what you mean Flo. So much time and effort invested in it and all of a sudden it's done.
What I hate is breaking it all up and packing it all away, but there is always an9ther one.
Have a good day all.

Morning all.

Maybe I should look at jigsaw puzzles. I haven't done one in donkey's years. Probably not since I was very young.

Glad your cooker is sorted, Nicos. Fingers crossed your washing machine engineer turns up soon, bramble.

Looks like my cold might not get much of a foothold, thank goodness. I seem to be doing a good job of either avoiding them or throwing them off quickly this year.

Brief interlude of warm weather today. I might take the dog out and then go kindling collecting. And then do some tidying and start food prep for the weekend.

Have a great day, everyone.

I think joining here must have had some sort of rain dance effect , because now it's raini- I mean because now I have been offered an allotment! And I took it!
Off to the garden centre for some canes and hopefully a slice of coffee & walnut cake.

Hope everyone else has a good day.

Fortunately the mattress didn't seem too wet. I think most of the water soaked into the thick brushed cotton quilt cover and sheet. A hair dryer has sorted the mattress out and the bedding is in the washer.

I have also just ordered two new hot water bottles from Dunelm, greatly reduced at the moment. The long ones with fleece covers only £3.50 each. They emailed back almost immediately that they were ready to collect.

Great news about the allotment Beetlebat , lots of luck

[greenishfing]

Brilliant news Beetlebat . You've got a whole growing season ahead of you. Is it in decent condition?

[Snoop Puss]

Excellent news, Beetlebat. And just the right time of year too. Fantastic.

[Beetlebat]

Yes, really brightened up my otherwise rather boring week!! It's in pretty good condition actually, just some rough grass really but no rubbish or huge brambles etc to deal with, and it has a small greenhouse. It's a half plot but the whole thing gets decent sun so I can really cram it full.

I'll have to take a picture when I get the keys and go over next, it will be nice to keep a record of my progress.

[Nicos]

Wow!!!!…absolutely Wow Beetlebat- that’s incredible news I bet you can’t stop grinning
Very chuffed for you x

Piccies?…ooo…yes please!

[Nicos]

Glad to hear you are fighting off that cold Snoop- so many people seem to have exceptionally nasty bugs at the moment.
We’ve had several trips to the GP and hospital over the past couple of weeks and all the staff seem to be wearing masks again.
