Hi all, still in Vegas, but coming home Saturday afternoon.
I have to confess it was me that gave Carrie the cold, I have had 5 days of it on holiday. With the jet lag, I have felt wiped out.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing my veggies, but at the same time fearful that my spuds will have fell over lol. They were very tall when we left.
Will keep you all posted

Good Morning and a Very, Very, Very Happy Friday I've had some good news and it's lightened my mood considerably. It started out hot and sunny a couple of hours ago, now it's just warm and dull. Have a lovely day

[Jay22]

Morning all! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. HH, hope you had a wonderful day!

Thanks Flo...that's the gray hair hidden for another wee while.

Hope you had a great holiday NS and that your pots and veggies will be fine when you get home. Hope you and Carrie manage to get rid of your colds...and don't pass it on to any of us!

[Nicos]

Mornin all!

Lovely day here!
Puddn cat kept leaping up at the window wanting to go out this morning at 4 am

No way!...too many fledglings around at the moment!
She loves this weather- chasing flies and bringing us live lizards ...snoozing in the shade of the magnolia tree. What a life!

Happy news is that Pheasant - our broody chook is happily sitting on the 4 eggs we gave her to hatch...16 days to go....

Morning all!

A thunderstorm woke me in the small hours and it's still cloudy now, but we've more sunshine forecast for later. I've got some carrots, cosmos and watercress to sow later.

Sorry to hear about your cold, NannySally. The air conditioning over there can be fierce, which doesn't help. Still it's an unseasonably cool 90F there at the moment so you can always step outside for a while.

Carrie, VC is right. Gentle exercise in fresh air is great for getting over colds.

Have a great day, all.

Anyone else noticed a sudden growth in their seedlings?
Ours are in a blowaway.

We've been watching them thinking about germinating...then peeking at us through one half opened eye...then struggling to produce first sets of true leaves..and then seemingly doing naff all.

Over the past few nights we've had warmer weather...and they've suddenly burst into activity!

Finally!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Morning all! It's FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY!

Plenty to do on the Task List, but we have our monthly staff lunch today too, so that will be nice. We have sunshine at the mo - long my it continue!

[cariann88]

Does anyone else have to pay quaterly and monthly on there gas and electric bills?

I don't understand why I have to. When I got told I only pay monthly.

[cariann88]

Is there a park nearby, Carrie? I find a walk in the fresh air does wonders for clearing the head and blowing away the cobwebs

There is a park near but It's not a nice place. I am back into work this morning walking around.

My mom and dad do but they have always done. Get in touch with your supplier and tell then you have been told you can pay every month. If you can set up a direct debit offer to set one up with them.

Afternoon all! I've been a busy bee. Trying to get all my planting done - still tons to do and I think that second glass of wine in the pub last night wasn't a good idea
Congratulations Bill, I missed it! But I hope you did something to Celebrate!

Washing machine now in the garage to join the dryer...should have done this years ago...no noise in the house now. I can watch TV with a washing on!

I don't understand why I have to. When I got told I only pay monthly.

Surely it's one or the other. Unless it's monthly for say gas and quarterly for electricity. I'd query it.

[cariann88]

It's monthly for both. As well as quaterly for both. I asked and he couldn't give me an answer. He just fobbed me off telling me I am in debt and owe them money. Going to get the OH sort it tomorrow.
