Morning all, not a bad morning here. A bit on the windy side biut the sun is out and no rain forecast until tonight. Got our share all day yesterday and last night. Off to the park for a walk and then out to the port to buy fresh fish wher the trawlers come in.

And your hands begin to harden.

Morning gang!
The weather is filthy here still, but the garden is desperate for it.
The chooks are quickly settling into their pecking order, it's funny to watch Miss Lemon (the biggest of the trio) being shoved out of the way by Hetty Wainthrop (the smallest)
Auntie, I do hope DD comes home soon xxComment

Grey and raining here too. I went down and checked the scale of my new Mediterrean herb and rose garden plan to the actual plot. Not too bad, but it needs a good reorganise.
Decided to plant BigMally's strawberries around the border of what will be the thyme and camomile lawn. (That's it was BM's idea for strawbs rather than me nipping round and pinching his).
Picked some tomatoes, evicted some more caterpillars, went cross eyed looking for them and discovered that big fawn caterpillars like nesting just under the surface of the soil. One darwin candidate came up for air right in front of me which meant he/she was evicted and then I went hunting around my basil and found the culprit nesting under the soil in the tub. AHA!
Now I am enjoying some chocolate and a coffee while a hard working British Gas man installs our new boiler and my small plastic bags have arrived, so then its on with packing up seeds for the vsp and tomato circle.
Oh and if anyone has any roman chamomile seed packets, I would appreciate having them if you don't want them.Comment

Is the kettle still hot G4?
Would love one if it is please!
Been jarring preserves in a very hot kitchen- half in the sterilizer now and half waiting to go in.
So far got 16 x 1litre jars full of combinations of beans, onions, courgettes, peppers, spices, herbs , tomatoes and wine!
mmmmm...

Sun may be coming out! Will the lawns be dry enough to cut? I have just bought a toilet ... living on the edge here folks. I am now noodling around on the Vine to avoid attempting to finish assembling ERIK, a piece of furniture from a well-known Scandinavian store. I think the ability to swear in Swedish would be a distinct advantage. Saaaave me someone.Comment
-
Well - I saved myself! ERIK is now sitting under the desk in the office and I am sitting here - smugly! Not as bad as I thought. I just needed a better screwdriver (yes I know .. a bad workman always blames his/her tools). Next!Comment

^^^i can't stand any DIY that involves a screwdriver
anything bought that comes flat packed usually stays that way in this house unless my brother is visiting
Jay, brothers are all the same! These days if mine calls the first ghing I say is. "What do you want?" When he does visit he knows it's payback
Thinking of you Flo, hope you get some good news today.Comment
