Good morning all and we have a lovely sunshine morning.
Lots to do today outdoors thankfully as I have had my fill of being Mrs mop for the moment.
Have a good day whatever you're doing.

Sorry about the bad weather and rain Nicos, we couldn't cope with it any longer.
It went on until four o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Good night all.
Got no gardening done today due to dreadful weather.
However I had a lovely evening out with my daughter.
Dinner and a movie in a newly renovated 1920's setting.
So very different and so very enjoyable.

Evening all. Couldn't find any bicarb for the bath, so put some oats in (wrapped in an old muslin) which youngest said felt really nice - another bath tomorrow morning has been requested, plus one at bedtime, and maybe a third during the day!

Eldest and youngest have a party to go to tomorrow. All the other children have had chicken pox and youngest desperate to go so sending both the parents are paramedics though, so fairly certain they can administer some Calpol! Won't be going far in case I need to pick up a poorly youngest early. Has been ok during the day, and not too itchy so should be fine.

Managed to pot on the remaining dedos des mocha's this evening, all in gh, splitting between the two Adnan informal test. Home tomorrow so will get on with the garden. Need to persuade OU to go to local farmers co-op to get posts for new arches and strong wire netting for bottom of compost heaps.

Nos da all

[Aberdeenplotter]

evening all. SPent the day in the plot but boy was it a blustery one. Ducked in to the tunnel for a heat on more than one occasion. The object today was to get holes punched in raised beds and filled with my compost mix to grow stump carrots for exhibition. Managed to do 40 stations for my better half and still have to do my own. . Also sprayed some creeping thistle in my tunnel with glyphosate, I've tried digging it out for several years and have now lost patience. The smallest bit of root left regrows but the glyphosate will sort that out for good.

The other big jub was taking the hand cultivator over the bed my brassicas will go in to and hoiking out the clumps of meadow grass which rotavating left half buried. A whole barrow load removed and into the compost bin(after emptying it). All in all a productive day but very tiring.


Now sitting watching Millionaire with a cuppa

Ta JanieB - think I have some and youngest currently in bath!

[JanieB]

Just got home and poured a GnT. Re chickenpox - big tub or 2 from a pharmacy of bicarb in the bath. This really works to stop the itching for a while. I learnt this when all three of mine had it at ages 7, 23 and 24 at the same time. The 7 year old was bouncing around as if there was nothing wrong. The 23 year old was throwing things and the 24 year old went into hiding as he couldn't shave and found out he had a ginger beard.

I've been out starting from sparrows f@rt ferrying people around. Tomorrow is another day.

[bramble]

Good morning all.
Driving rain and gale force winds here.
It looks like winter outdoors.
A day out with my daughter today.
As a late birthday gift we are going into town, then dinner and A show.
Have a good day all.

[Cadalot]

Not 10 am yet and the greenhouse is in direct sunlight with the door open and its between 38 40.1C in there but such a cold wind out there I have shut the back door because it's not going to warn up until the sun gets down onto the patio doors.

I've was busy in the Space Saver Greenhouse yesterday on and off when I took micro breaks from my broom cupboard office and the computer Alans Allotment: Loo Roll Towers

Have a good one people, I have the cold frame to clean out and find homes for all the dross that I've stored in there over winter today I need the space !
