If he ever buys you an iron can you let me know how you use it on the allotment?

I thought it was for getting the creases out of Savoy cabbages Shen?

good evening Folks, not to much done in the garden today started topping up my raised bed then discovered the end boards needed replaced so cleared the soil from the end and removed and replaced with new wood, intended to use metal pipes banged into the ground as bracers but unable to get down through the tree roots, so will have to rethink what to do.
I see some Grapes are asking about books we are reading, I have just completed Robert Jordans Wheel of Time books 14 in total and now reading Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books, have tried a kindle but prefer a real book, you can`t lie back and put a kindle over your eyes to block out the light,( I have found this is the best thing to do when carrying out an eye lid examination during the day)
Well I wish you all a goodnight and dont hit the key boards to loudly when you log on in the morning

Good morning

I had a banging head ache last night, so spent the night in bed trying to shift it. I best start getting ready otherwise I will end up missing my bus.

Have a good day

Morning all, hope you are feeling better Carrie. It's a lovely morning this morning although rather chilly, great to see the sun! Was woken by a huge cat fight in the garden this morning, not the nicest or calmest way to wake up so I'm feeling a wee bit tired! Cats...they are blooming vicious to one another!

Just realised I typed 'Harvey' !! I did of course mean Hardy! Sounds like most of us had to read some Hardy for exams and stuff, maybe that's what put us off! Don't remember having to read DH Lawrence though, probably not 'approved' off back then! I watched the latest TV drama of Lady Chatterley the other week, and loved it, (husband took himself off to do other things!)

I don't read as much as I'd like, and still have loads of books I intended to read 'when I retired' ! Well that was 3 years ago, and I'm just too busy!

Off to look atT Hardy's cottage and museum tomorrow so maybe I'll be inspired!

Mornin all!
Late start for me today- I'm cream crackered!

The re-enforced concrete carcass ( I kid you not!)is proving too much for me so I've had to stand back and let OH do all the fun bits
The walls should prove easier

At last, after 12 years I'm going to get my new kitchen. The builders will be here this afternoon for a site meeting and they start in 3 weeks time.

Now my son and myself are arguing about cookers, units and where they are going to go.

I'm tasked with emptying the whole of the ground floor in preparation.

[Jay22]

It will be worth it when it's finished Janie!

I rarely watch TV...the OH watches university challenge and I watch mastercheg when it's on but apart from that and an odd film it never gets used. Is the book any good?

[Pumpkin Becki]

Morning Gang!
Hope we're all well. Work hit a peak of busyness (it's a word...in my mind ), so I've been getting home a bit late. Just time to do a quick tidy up in the hens' coop and run before they want to go to bed - and boy do they let me know when I'm taking too long

Brilliant. We had a new one a few years back. I was sick to death of repainting the old cabinets over to try and make them look half way decent. In the end, our drawers started caving in and the units were so old that my husband was unable to source any replacement parts - such a shame Hope you enjoy it when it's finally installed.

It's looking very black now outside so about to rain as the BBC predicted. This morning was really lovely and I managed to get out and harvest my first turnips which was pretty exciting. Bleak as it looks, it's warmer than yesterday.

Janie, its your kitchen, not your son's, and you're the one who will be using it so have whatever you want...............and don't forget the Aga you've always wanted

Artnoon everyone. Its gloriously sunshiny today, washing's out, chooks are out, we're all out enjoying it.................and the good news is - its only 100 days to you know what, which means that in 101 days it will be time to go cold turkey

[Nicos]

Yeh- we've got the rain down here VC! ...thought you could do with a break from it!
I'll let you have it back when we've had enough- OK????

Janie- I second what ^^^^^ says- it's YOUR kitchen, and YOU are paying for it. Get exactly what you want!!!!

At the moment my OH is using a pneumatic drill to take out our old kitchen units which seem to be integrated into the floor as well!

It's taken 2 days to box up ( cleaning first) what we don't think we'll be needing for the next couple of months- and all the rest is piled up in the lounge where we are doing a glorified version of camping cuisine
Hopefully it'll be ready for Xmas as we're doing it all ourselves!

Oh- and DON'T mention dust
