Late start today after a late night. Good dancing tho so worth it. 13C and sunny out there.
Sewing for an hour or two then sowing - trees and shrubs so winter stratifying needed. Pumpkin soup to make in between for lunch and some banana and cardamom buns for tomorrow's patchwork class.
More coffee first.
I hope all snuffles and sneezes and aches and pains are easing. Hugs as needed.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I'm making some Crown Prince squash soup today Obelixx ... I shall roast the pieces first and save a few to add to our planned supper of baked chicken legs with Mediterranean veg and couscous. Apart from that I have a canvas to prime and a list of odd jobs for OH to compile
Smilies are working on the laptop ... must have been my phone
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I didn't have a Sunday sleep in Pat. Church on Sunday mornings. Getting there and back, the service, coffee afterwards, takes about 31/2 hours. The further away church today.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
That's a long morning Busy. I hope you get a good lunch afterwards.
Turns out half the seeds need soaking for anything from 3 to 48 hours and then all of them need cold and hot or hot and cold to nudge them into germination mode. This is going to have my head in a spin!

Had homemade veg soup for lunch. Sausages tonight.
Have been putting the new oval mounts into the frames with the 2 family portraits of 2 great great aunts that got damaged in the flood. They are only drawings in pencil and pastel, but I'm quite fond of them. There is also one of my great great grandmother but she is in a different room.
Carried a load of logs up and stacked them by the woodburner and cleaned the sitting room. Logs are carried up because the house is on a slope, lots of steps between rooms and the garden is terraced.

OH wants to take the dogs to the beach but I need to do patchwork homework. Boo. Another day then.
Buns in the oven Obelixx?? Something to tell us??
All the talk of baking has made me want to join in.
Hope everyone doing ok and you all see some sunshine before the cold snap hits.

BusyL, that sure is a marathon. Hope you enjoyed the service.
My sister sent me a joke today about sign outside churches that was very clever and funny. Not sure how to send it.
Anyway midnight soon, so off to sleep. Night all.
Lots of funny ones here, Pat!

Or maybe it was this one?
