Having a sit down before putting something in the oven for no2 son to eat before he goes out for a basketball match.
Fairly productive day. I sorted my flower seeds this morning as it was raining. Then as the rain cleared I went to the garden centre to get some manure for the second plot. I had missed the manure delivery when I got my second plot, so have had to source it elsewhere. Bagged is not the cheapest option, but it's half price at the moment. So did two trips one before and one after lunch, total of 20 75 bags. Daren't put more than 10 in the car at one time it's so wet and heavy.
Percy Cat (he of the eye injury ) has a collar back on as he won't leave the sore on his head alone. He wore one after Christmas until it had healed but scratched it again, so back with the collar. He was warned!

Chilling out with two sleepy dogs after an active day here! Had a huge ironing session this morning and there is none left to do (until today's batch of washing is dry enough, hey ho, Forth bridge and all that!).

Dogs were getting twitchy so we had an hour in the park this afternoon in between rain showers and darkness.

Then I have been legging it up the stairs and down again as the cat has been going in and out of the bathroom window all day and it is way too cold to leave it open for her!

Evening all! Busy day today! My colleague nearly earned herself a clonk round the noggin when I was in the middle of a whirlwind of phone calls/emails/interrupting phone calls/tricky negotiations and deadlines when she said 'you know, we really should find time now to finish the web site revamp.'

Yes, missus, I know, but when exactly do you want me to do that, then??

Meanwhile, after work, picked mum up and got stuff from Sains, then had a McD on the way home. We know how to live it up!

Back for hot bath - it's chilly out there, folks - then Friday night pub night! Hurrah, hurrah!

Evening all...
Chilly here, so sitting beside the fire with the usual glass of red... Youngest kids in bed after a movie and some treats..
Trying to be relatively healthy for January ( says he with a glass of red in hand )
I did sign up for a 140km cycle today tho, so that should incentivise me

Morning everyone, happy Saturday, is it just me up?

Was planning to go to Plot, but it looks very cold and frosty out there, but very lively, clear blue sky and white frosty trees.

Mmmmmm I'll have coffee and breakfast and then decide.

Enjoy your days everyone, now Get Up!

Trailer load of hoss muck on the way. Glad it's not raining..........

So, having had the brilliant idea of barrowing the muck into a builders bag as I was short of space, I lay in bed last night and thought, hello, there are no drainage holes in the bottom. Am I right in thinking that water will not drain out?

[Glutton4...]

There's one way to find out Danny!

G'Moooooooooooooooooooooornin' Peeps! Cold white and solid. That's my back garden this morning. Fab, really fab, as it means clean dogs. It was too cold to hose them off yesterday, so I ran half a bath of Luke-warm water and dunked 'em. One of the benefits of having the bathroom off the kitchen!

I'm on morning stables duty this morning, so better finish this cuppa, and get going...

You could let it accumulate to some degree Danny, and then bottle it, dilute it and voila some free fertiliser!!

Morning all..

Frosty one here, so no soccer for eldest daughter today...
Might dig out the seeds for a look...

[Nicos]

Morning all!
Overslept this morning

Instead of waking to pitch black, I opened the blind to bright sunshine and thick white frost like in a Christmas card!

Just had a look at the thermometer and it says -5C !

What a fantastic start to the weekend!

[Thelma Sanders]

Cold and frosty here as well, -4C Brrrr!
It's a huddle round the stove morning for me.
