Afternoon all!
Today I did my first trip to the allotment for over a week and my first decent bit of work there for about 3 weeks.
The gladioli that I lifted last week had dried out nicely so I cleaned them all up ready for final drying in the shed and winter storage. I've got about 100 corms now so plenty of cut flowers next summer. Then I carefully weeded the 2 rows of daffodils. I had to disturb a few to dig out some huge docks, but I'm sure they'll be fine now I've pushed them back in. Next time I'm down there I'll move some forget-me-nots and plant them along the row for a bit of winter cover and some nice spring flowers.
Hopefully I'll feel like going back tomorrow after I've queued up at the hospital again to re-do the blood test.
Now then, I've got whisky and chocolate for supper, better sort out some tea first

I try to make Sunday booze free, so I'll stick with tea this evening.
I've got beef stew this evening - I'll best get it in the oven, and whilst that's heating through, I've some swede/potato mash topping to put on the mince/ratatouille/mushroom affair that I cooked last night, and to split some of it into foil dishes for freezing.
It feels like a night for putting the fire on - I'll see if the stew warms me through first, though.

Martin I love the smell of Whisky but not the taste, apparently when I sniff Mr Pots whisky I make it evaporate
We've had pot roasted Partridge for tea plus I baked my first ever Banana bread, it does smell nice so I'm wondering why have I left it this long before baking one.Location....East Midlands.

Hazel, Sunday is usually alcohol free here too BUT I've run around all weekend, looking after others and I thought s#d it! I'm having an evening to myself, drink, book and fire and I'm I'm loving it!
Bren, banana bread sounds good, the boys live courgette bread. Perhaps I should give it a whirl.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevenin' Peeps! Had a busy day clearing up after Hubby. Came back indoors, and vacuumed the whole indoors.
I really fancy a G & T, but have to wait another week. I'm not that virtuous though - I've been substituting the booze with chocolate!All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

Well I have been on the maltesers and the g+t and am needing a bit of an early night.
I bought the puppy a little round bed with a microwave heated wheat pad in the middle and she is curled round it now snoring happily at my feet. Phew - she is full on when she is awake and her teeth are like shark's!
Rosie, by comparison, was a very good girl when I got her, which just shows how selective memory is because at the time I thought she was a nightmare. Rosie is such a good big sister and she keeps an eye on the puppy at all times and puts her straight when she needs it!Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?
