Had a bl00dy computer virus resulting in a million pop up ads and cr@p - had to scan and all that stuff which has kept me offline

Magic computer man talked me through the fix which took about 10 seconds

Spot on AP....phew....she was in our barn, ignoring our calls!

Phew

Best news I've heard all day. And that includes the news 'you can stop now' at the end of this morning's run.

Afternoon All Glad to hear Hibou is safe Nicos x Raining here and quite windy too. I've just been outside and brought some compost in the kitchen to prick out some seedlings for potting on - it's too cold for my bones outside. Caught up with daughter again this morning. She went back to work (phased return) on Tuesday. She's only done 6 hours over two days this week and is absolutely shattered! Such an achievement for her though. She was terrified of going back after such a long time, but all her colleagues were kind so she feels much better now Youngest son has taken his Nan and Granddad suite shopping - now that should be an experience, they're 86 and 89!

Evening All

After a wonderful but exhausting morning with the grandkids, popped over the plot in the rain to continue the battle with last remaining stump......stump still winning thus far but weakening. Another attack tomorrow and I should be the ascendancy....famous last words.

Home, showered and looking forward to dinner. Picked up the meat order from the butchers on the way home and will have to portion it up later ready for the freezer except the best cut of all.....breast of lamb, that will be tomorrow's dinner

Evening all. Well my sister has been and up and visited. Wont see her again for another 7 weeks due to various work commitments she has and her son getting married in America.
Got a very clear sky again here so could have another frost.
Glad to hear Hibou has turned up safe and sound Nicos
Have a good evening everyone

Sad seeing on here grandads having their grand kids over, it´s my grandads 80th today and i have sent a card but have no relationship what so ever, my grandparents are very unlovely and uncaring, never really bother with me (or their son!), even though i am the first out of a lot of grandchildren, seems so sad just the complete opposite to my mums side i wish i could still have my mums dad still around he was a wonderful man but he left many many years ago think 15 years this year. My mums mum is awesome crazy old gal seems this should be in the rant thread

Busy and productive day for me today.. Our new horse had been purchased..Nice looking specimen, hopefully we will have some good days out in the future...

Brought the family out for lunch as its school holidays..Had a lovely time..


Got home and did a load of stuff in the garden as it was a nice day once the rain stopped...
Then had a go at Hazel's biscuits and made a Terry's Chocolate orange cake...all in all a productive day

[Tripmeup]

Forgot to mention I put chocolate chips in the second batch..hope that's OK Hazel

[Hazel at the Hill]

Nice one, Trip - lovely hoss. Hope it runs well for you all.

Have you got the recipe for the Terry choc orange cake? Sounds great.

Lovely to see so many peeps baking the abbey crunch biccies - I must tell me sis. Mine don't come out as dark as yours - did you use brown sugar, or have they had an extra few mins in the oven?

Sounds like a nice twist - I'll give it a go next time.

Thanks Hazel...

I used a mixture of brown and white sugar; they probably appear a bit darker in the photo too..

Good evening Folks, have not been on for a day or two, but have poped in now and then, cold and wet here all day so unable to get any work done in the garden, last bit of garden work was on Thursday when I trimmed a Kilmarnock willow for my daughter, I dont thing one of the grandsons is very happy with that as he used it as a den, but I will leave his Mum to explain why she wanted it trimmed, I have been out in the greenhouse sowing some seeds, mostly flowers, I was in Wilcos and bought seeds, three for two,total cost 80p I want to make up some low cost baskets from seed, my other baskets get made up from buying plug plants now and taking cuttings I have several cuttings on the hot bed now. Well I wish you all a good night, I will have to find out if AP will be down this way again this year, as Cardwell G.C. isnt that far away, if so I will keep some jobs for him as he seems to like to keep himself busy and I would be only too happy to help him. Goodnight

ps. I should have added, I will be happy to buy him a drink for doing the work, if he just posts the money to me
