My youngest is taking me out for the afternoon and evening. Mooch round Oxford followed by "The Mousetrap" then dinner at Jamie's.
Some furniture I'd bought last week turned up this morning but they missed putting the new bed on the van so they will be back. I need to go and have a shower and get tarted up, so what's the betting they turn up whilst I'm getting ready. Oh and the cabinet I bought is sitting in the middle of the lounge as I couldn't put it where it's intended to go 'cos the new chairs I bought were in the way!

Afternoon all
Freezing cold. Getting our windows seen to today and tomorrow - not great timing to have workmen in and out making the cold house like a chiller room. Brrr didn't think of that when we booked it in.
Lettuce looks like it's finally been clobbered from frost but it's done well to get this far.
Got health check and blood test at docs tomorrow so not looking forward to that as I'm a total wuss.
Hope weather warms up a bit tomorrow. Looking forward to a nice hot bath later.
Looking forward to last episode of the missing tonight.LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden. Winter update: currently growing overwintering onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, salad leaves, kale, cabbage, radish, beetroot, garlic, broccoli raab, some herbs.

Good afternoon, mild today so got some work carried out in the garden emptied a number of pots and while doing that was loosening some of the soil in the pots I hit something hard about 3/4ins. deep, first thoughts were what one of those rascals put a piece of wood in the pot, wrong it was a plate of frozen soil in the pot, so even with a temperature of 9c it takes time for the soil to defrost, removed my gladiolie from a big, pot 24in. diameter, and planted my tulips, this must be the earliest I done that for a long time, and as I had a spare garlic bulb I decided to plant that in the same pot as well, will see how that goes. Had to nip down to Irvine for something and when you look around it appears that this is the only area North Ayrshire counsel is prepared to spend money, everywhere outside that area has nothing, no cycle track or walking paths, and no decent play areas for children, I think N.A. council must be one of the worst in the country perhaps I should go to the rant thread, but that's me finished, for nowLast edited by rary; 30-11-2016, 04:18 PM.it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Afternoon...still not done that ironing but I've a nice clean front room! Marie, no clues to The Missing please, I haven't watched last weeks yet.
Sun has just gone down but just before, everything turned an incredible red colour, absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever seen that before. It wasn't a sunshiny red but...I've no idea how to describe it just stunning.sigpic

As far as I know Shen they only have three, one in Kilbirnie one in Farlie and one in Saltcoats, the one in Kilwinning is a private one I believe, and there are a number of people who would like one in their own townLast edited by rary; 30-11-2016, 04:46 PM.it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

You may be right but my complaint about NA is the money that is pushed into the Irvine area where there are plenty of amenities, and they ignore most of the remaining areasit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Just back home from watching my grandaughter making her debut on stage in the school musical. She was great and loved every minute of it. She has really come out of herself since she went into her new school.
Earlier we had a walk on the beach as it was such a lovely day and watched the sunset.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
