Aaaaaaaaaaaaarternooooooon Peeps, we have warm and sunny after a long lie-in, and I have the sound of the washing machine on full spin.

I've just boxed up all the carpet tiles from the kitchen floor, and am busily bleaching the disgusting lino, as it's easier to keep clean than the manky carpet tiles. I've actually come on here for the rant thread, but thought it'd be rude not to pop in to say hello!

Afternoon G4. Just as I was getting ready to go to the lottie for the afternoon, a rain storm came speeding up the M4 and has just decided to visit me for a while. Yes, I take this personally

Washing machine going here too!

Turned out to be quite a nice day...got loads of paperwork sorted so am feeling relief some of it at least is out of the way!

Still intend to get more seeds planted today!

[Glutton4...]

Time for grub, I'm famished!

[Jeanied]

Grrr - thunder and lightning now.

Afternoon, I've been in the garden without my jumper on had to take it of because I was digging but it still counts.

Prevening All. Sunny and warm all day here. Youngest GG and I cleared the leek bed and she then proceeded, after only a quick lesson, to plant the peas for me. Amazing to see her gain in confidence with the firming in. She's done a brilliant job. We even had to pinch half another bed for the rest of them. She's polished in the lounge and swept the staircase. Marvellous! See you all later

My seedlings were all having a sunbathe, and the very same storm nearly drowned them and me Jean

Day 2 of the Great Computer Setup, and I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

The anti virus software that I installed yesterday as first job - before upgrading to win8.1 - decides that it is now not compatible. Uninstall (trial version that I thought that I could easily enter my licence key into). Try to install from disc (now I've borrowed a cd drive thingy from Dave-next-door), and a million whirrings later, I am informed there is now upgraded software available to download, and it prompts me to download.....the trial version that I had installed yesterday.

Next on the hit list is to configure my outlook email account details - but that's a scarey step too far for me to do on my own, so Dave-next-door is coming round later to supervise.

Then that's it. I think.

Why is it so difficult??

I'm very pleasantly surprised, she is really keen to grow. I can't give her her own bed this year, but I've said I'll get her a couple of grow bags so she can sow some seed/raise some plants. First the knitting, now the growing, think she might be a mini me

[bearded bloke]

Get an extra bag Flo,I'm sure she would like to grow her own pumpkin New England Pie are a good carving variety I read

Was so lovely to have family down from Yorkshire for weekend, but must say bit knakerood now, one forgets how exhausting, loud and hard work a 5+ year old can be. He never learnt to walk, went straight to the running!

Rain! Booooooo! I was hoping to get more done and take some new piccies before that happened. Last time I looked at a weather forecast it said sunny Mon/Tues, and rain from Wed onwards. When the rain came I checked again, and now it's showers forecast all week

Oh well, at least it means I don't have to fix my outdoor tap for another week
