My first and last piece of politic-speak today....

Just heard on R4 - a woman being interviewed in Liverpool, asked how she votes - she said 'how my husband tells me to vote'** ... I checked the date on the calendar.

Same lady was then asked what she thought of Jeremy Corbin .. 'don't like him, can't take to him', says lady. 'So, why do you vote for him?', says journo ....

**See above!

Now to interesting stuff - I missed the garden waste bin collection due to the rain yesterday. I've sorted and planned (for planting) 450 bulbs for new garden.

Happy Humpday Eve

Good Morning Girls, where's all the boys? in Zed I guess. Pretty dank here but quite mild, still in T-Shirt so thats a good sign. Not sure what's in store today, may just have to go and have a look............have a good one whatever you are up to.

A boring day in store, weather is yuk
Garden clearance has been started by hubby, looking even barer out there

Have a good day everyone

Morning all, dark cold and wet this morning but resisting putting the heating on...doesn't go on until October, although I think we had it on one night during summer this year!! Getting harder to get up in the morning now it's so dark.
Domestic duties call today. You would be shocked if you saw the amount of ironing I have!
Hope you all have a lovely day whatever the weather and hope the knee is better Flo!

Happy Tuesday Grapeys from sunshiny SW (I'm fibbing )
Its another murky day but I'm sure I'll find something to do that doesn't involve housework Its another of my personal challenges!
Hope you all have a good day that doesn't require heating!

Just had a very nice fry up with my tomatoes and chard plus egg and mushrooms. Feeling nice and full now and much warmer than earlier braving it in the garden. Very cold day.

Nice to see 2nd lot of lettuce growing nicely despite the lack of sun. Not sure if the kale is growing yet but the slugs haven't touched it so far. They are still into munching the squash so that is keeping them busy I guess.

Have a nice day all whatever you are up to

Good afternoon, the weather has been a bit mixed here today had some wind and rain, now nice and calm with sunshine, I note Jay is trying to keep the heating off till October sadly we have had it on several times this month, perhaps I should tell my wife to do some ironing to save on heating------- naw its too risky, it might be switched on when she throws it at me, today I have removed all my baskts now I need to empty them, this year I am going to try keeping my surfina petunias along with begonias and geraniums,. Well I am off to get fed shortly again I could tell her to move a bit quicker and generate some warmth, but I want to eat my meal off a plate with a knife and fork, not a straw. See you later

A full day at the school - kids planted overwinter onions 100 white, 50 red also divided 2 garlic cloves and planted them. Got them into teams of 2 and had them riddle the soil to remove most if not all of the stones and used the sifted soil and compost to prepare about 1/4 of the fllower bed for planting bulbs next Tuesday. Suggested they should record all they did plus take photographs so they could discuss in class - Head Teacher agreed and issued instructions to the teachers I am enjoying school more than I ever did when I was there as a kid - the enthusiasm displayed today was outstanding - I gave each class a round of applause as they trooped back into the classroom.

Hello again, was out at the greenhouse transplanting some pansies, I will keep them in the greenhouse for a couple of weeks then put them outside, hoping to have them flowering in the spring, never tried this before so will see how it goes, the wind is picking up again so moved into the house, and my wife has the heating on, again, I suppose I could tell her to put more clothes on, but that has a habbit of comeing round to not having anything suitable, so I will just accept the heating being on. Well I think I will go and read a book for a time, so I wish you all a good night, for those working tomorrow its half way for VC its Wednesday and when I think on it, I should have known my wife likes it to be hot, after all she did pick me. Goodnight

Just bobbing in to say hi!

Good grief...how do you all cope with the amount of traffic over here?...such a difference- and so fast too..where did all these boy racers come from?

Apart from that I'm having a great time catching up with family and replenishing my kitchen supplies with comfort food!
To my happy surprise Wilcos had chocolate **** tree decorations yup-I nearly said the C word!) so I grabbed a few of those!
Eyes and teeth all sorted( spanking new specs!) ....Just a few more family reunions...and then we're heading back chez nous.
Not had time to read back much, but hope you're all in good fettle and hugs for those who need them.

Have a great day peeps- and remember.....closing date is this Friday for our competition!
