Socks, Flo?

I'm up early today as we are going to be very understaffed in work and I thought I might as well try to get a decent head start. Thank goodness it's nearly the weekend again.

[Bren In Pots]

Morning its hair cut time again seems to have come around quick, its definitely a socks day here as well Flo.

[Nannysally99]

Morning, bit nippy here and I too am wearing socks
Had my fringe cut this week Bren, now I can see
Day off today, having a particularly lazy day.
Have a good one

Morning its hair cut time again seems to have come around quick, its definitely a socks day here as well Flo.

Just cut round the edge of the plantpot on yer ed! My dad used to give me a bowl cut when I was a nipper!

[Snoop Puss]

No haircuts for me today (I do it myself and don't even need a bowl - long hair, combed into a pony tail but at the front of my head, take scissors, cut end off - final effect looks layered and gives surprising volume to a thin head of hair, not much good if you have short hair though!).

So no haircut and no socks either, not very sure why as they would be a good idea.

67 mm of rain yesterday, so that's 150 so far. More today apparently. Yesterday's lot was a bit steadier, so although lots of it is running off down the drainage channel, the fields are under water, so it'll be soaking in. Over 7 million litres of rain have fallen on our land alone. And there's plenty of valley up above us. With any luck, the underground vein of water will be slowly refilling.

Friday. More work for today and the weekend, but all under control. Thank goodness.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all.
Socks here as well.
Two grand daughter's coming for lunch today.
Can't believe it's Friday already, the weeks are flying by.
Have a good day all.

[Jay22]

Nothing happening here which I would say is good! Looking for new bedding for a spare room but nothing is jumping out anywhere.
Anyhoo, off to organise lunch so see you all later.

[Jay22]

POLICE SAFETY WARNING - DRONGAN AND COALHALL
Officers are asking residents to be vigilant after a report has been received of a sighting of what is believed to be a black panther in the fields near to the B730. Do not approach it, contact Police via 101

[Florence Fennel]

The socks were to stop the shoes rubbing, not for the cold, but served both purposes as it happened! Haircuts look good, still having a basin cut Snadger? That's one of the main reasons my five brothers couldn't wait to leave home. My three sisters also endured the put a pony tail in chop!

[rary]

You women are a funny lot, I always wear socks but didn't think it was worth mentioning
and Snoop here we think getting 67mm of rain in a week is good, it usually indicates the rain stopped sometimes
Jay, if you call 999 that means there is an emergency and they need to respond quite quickly, where as if you phone 101 there is a good chance it will be gone by they respond to the call

Anyone know how to clear duckweed from a community pond( not the fishkeeper type)?

[Aberdeenplotter]

Something in the back of my head is telling me that wheat straw can be used and same something is telling me The straw needs to be in a mesh net. I'm probably talking garbage and will now go google it .

[Aberdeenplotter]

Well google says Straw will slow down or restrict algae growth but won't kill existing algae but google also says it doesn't affect duckweed.

[Baldy]

^^^ didn't help for my pond - rigorous use of fishing net has helped...
