Good morning All. A beautiful morning here with the sun streaming in through the windows.
Off to sort some stuff in the post office, then to the library and then grocery shopping. That should take me up to lunch time.

Morning all...It's FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Have to pay for 4 new tyres for the car today, so not an ideal start to the weekend (must remind herself to keep the wheels on the ground when going around corners )

Off to India tomorrow morning, so must finish packing when I get done with work

Trip, have a safe journey. I know its work related but make sure you enjoy it.

That was sneaky Nicos, opening the GR at 4.25 in the morning!

Glad your kitchen is coming on.

[Nicos]

Well- I needed to find a quiet time ...I know what you lot are like!!!

[Nicos]

Trip- have a good time in India- keep safe

How long are you away for ( just asking cos of the bar tab at the GR )

[craftymarie]

Have a good trip to India, Trip

Had a lovely morning at garden centre - nice hot choc loaded with cream, chocolate flakes and cherry jam. Some black forest theme - don't want to know how many calories

Came back to a bit of a disaster in the polly. I'm not sure what happened whether it was the wind (hard to believe) or more likely maybe an animal like a cat or a fox had got inside but all the contents of one shelf had been knocked to the floor which of course damaged other plants underneath too. I was so gutted when I saw the mess



After a clear up, the polly itself looks fine which is the main thing. Most of my swiss chard plants were damaged and some choy sum. Some plants had the main stems snapped through so sadly won't be putting on any real growth now. It could be a lot worse I know. Just sad to see things destroyed after all the work put in to grow them. I've still got quite a bit left so not disastrous.

Away from Sat to Sat effectively (home late Friday)..I'll try drop in to see that the staff in the GR are not being abused..................................................without me being there too

In terms of and with regard to (getting all business speak here now ) the bar tab, I believe I covered proportionately more than my share last year (due to some people having their pockets sowed up for some reason )
I also remember that I occasionally carried out late night/early morning security checks/provision of company for the barmaid (delete as appropriate) on many Friday & Saturday nights which I didn't seek any expenses for....

Anyways first night is free I believe

Have a nice time trip.

Marie i feel for you, animals are my worse enemy in the garden, there is always something running around to snap my plants in to pieces. I get upset every time.

Just been down to my greenhouse to cover all my plants with fleece. This is the first time I have had to do this year.
I rigged up a frame like a tent from an old dolls house belonging to my grandkids and put my Sweetpea plants in underneath.
The thermomater was only showing 8deg and it felt really cold. The rest is in the lap of the gods, or even in the lap of the weather.

It was a lovely afternoon here, sunny and quite calm. I got down the allotment to lift the last of my maincrop potatoes then brought all the potatoes back home from the allotment shed before the first frost comes.

It's cooling down quite quickly here now, down to 7c in my greenhouse already.

[Lisasbolt]

Just been able to finally sit back and relax, not much left to do for dinner (i know very late!) and not finished. Just popped a bottle of cava and i will enjoy this whole bottle it has been another long week.
Bet i far asleep after a glass and dinner

Trying to find a comedy to watch, but seem most of them on netflix

are you having a nice friday evening?

[Nicos]

Good one thanks Lisa

Had a visit to the specialist with Hibou again.
2 different types of antibiotics for 3 weeks or more.
Both eye and neck are gooing badly but he was OK with it saying it's a turning point...fingers crossed he's right and she's OK asap ( 8 weeks ago today since it happened!).


1st of my Xmas Fairs tomorrow ...need to go and find the silly hat box!

[Nicos]

Forgot to mention that we popped into Ikea today ( 10 mins from the Vets) and I had my handbag searched!
I was rather shocked at first, but then pleased.

[Aberdeenplotter]

Bit difficult to hide a Kalashnikov in your handbag mind . I know where you are coming from with pleased though. Good to know the situation is being taken seriously

[Tripmeup]

If these attacks continue, then unfortunately it will become a common reality for more and more people Nicos, which is a pity.... Being searched when you want to go to the shops...not what a free world promised...

Anyway, fire lit and kids watching a Christmas toy show on TV... Up early tomorrow, so won't be staying late in GR tonight
