Hi
Just thought I'd pop in, havnt been around for a while. Managed to get dad moved from not so good home into a good nursing home after a yr on their waiting list :O , he has settled and seems content. They are very good with him and it has made a huge difference to the family.
Needless to say I havnt done much 'growing' this yr , some salads which I'm now harvesting and today have sown some radish, rocket and spring onions.
OHs uncle gave me a tomato tumbler but I've given it to mum as I hadn't cleaned greenhouse or anything and it's bit cool and windy mostly for growing them outside here.
Anyway, hope all are well ...il go and catch up some more

Morning Flo
Rather dull here today, not sure of plans ...may be visiting dad or mum may be going. Now he is only 5mins from her it's much better.
Been having a catch up on other threads and I have growing envy . I usually have pots all over the decking but I cleaned it all, restained , repainted walls, new seating instead.
I had last yrs potato bags sat with compost still in them and now I have potato shoots coming out :O
Will they produce anything do you think?
I sowed some chilli yesterday, not sure if they will do anything but we shall see.
Have a good day

Finally managed to do a bit of gardening after laundry and roasting a joint of pork. Chicken now in oven so back out for some more pottering to the accompaniment of unknown bands. Glad to hear your dad is comfortable CG, what a relief for you and your family. Cake sounds delish Lottie, save me a piece please

[Jay22]

Afternoon, dull, windy and showery here today although it's not cold again. Good to see you back SP and CG, glad you got your dad into a better place CG ! Lottie, that cake sound delish, if I was nearer you could expect me for a cuppa!
Has anyone tried buying a small piece of vinyl flooring...tried to buy a piece for the downstairs loo. Unless you want any shade of beige you are fine. I was looking for white with black keysquare, impossible. Looking online it's difficult to get that too.
Well, hope you have a great day everyone...enjoy the Chardonnay Janie!

Good evening all. Had a beautiful day weatherwise. Sunny and balmy.
It was ourPitch and putt open this weekend.
Spent two hours this morning doing kitchen duty as we all do it on a voluntary basis and thrn spent the rest of the day playing and socialising.
Great turnout as the weather was just perfect.
Home now and hubby cooking a steak dinner.
Tired but happy.

Morning all, dull and nippy here. Rain forecast this afternoon and the rest of the day.
I really do hate it when it rains, I don't feel like doing anything
Boiled eggs are on, anyone want one or two?
Have a great day

[Containergardener]

Morning all
Dull here too and rain forecast this afternoon ugh.
Not sure of days plans , told mum I was available for dad visits sat,sun mon so she has asked me to go Wednesday
She is on stripping her bedroom , she starts these big jobs but can't finish them so I end up having to go sorting it out . Be better if she asked prior when we could help
OH pulled his back yesterday and I've got tennis elbow type thing going on , I can't even lift the kettle with that arm. Dunno what I've done..pair of creaky crocks here
Maybe a trip to be-qu or H/base would help us ...
Have a good day
