Morning All

Had a little overnight rain but nothing to write home about. Back over the plot today to carry on with the weeding and general tidy up before I consider preparing some of the beds for the winter nap.

Hope you all have a great day

Morning all...remember that hoolie I was talking about yesterday...it's now almost a full blown storm! High winds and pouring rain! To top it all my washing machine packed in yesterday mid way through a load of towels, water everywhere. Thank goodness it was in the garage. It is old so it doesn't owe us anything. A quick look on a certain company's web page last night and a new machine is being delivered this morning! How is that for service?

I had planned a lot of cooking/pickling activities given the expected rain, so not sure what to do now

Morning all. Finally managed to get online between the OH ebaying and Han doing some research on The Queen for her homework.
Raining here at the moment so have been helping Han with her sewing. My sister got her one of those bear kits that you have to put together. Instructions sounded easy but it believe me it wasn't.
Anyway have a good day everyone

Thought you was gonna say you'd forgot to take the washing out of the machine.................

No one said you had to take the washing out the machine????

My shoulders are sore today, I think it was from filling the dish washer and switching it on.
Question Do I have to empty that also

What...you don't have the wind and rain Shen, you are only about an hour away too...lucky you!!

Jay - we did get rain later in the morning - however the weather here is full of surprises - I have a small book dated in the 1800s which describes the weather and the average rainfall along this coast - basically we get an average 3% but if you move inland for a short measure the average rainfall is 30% - I used to notice this as I travelled home from Glasgow through the Garnock Valley most nights of the week when it rained heavily and incessantly for the entire journey until I was able to see the sun shining brightly over Irvine and beyond - I think we are protected from the West by the Hills of Arran ad this is possibly the main reason but whatever they obviously knew about it more than 200 years ago

Just popped in to say Hello

Wasted this afternoon having a migraine. Managed to get the pond netted as we had a visit from Mr Heron on Monday, but little else achieved. Packing tomorrow as I am off for a few days with Y6.
Mum is back in hospital with a chest infection. She was at home a week.
