Have cleared up yet another frozen left over from the freezer which I’ve been trying to clear our so that I can defrost it. Someone, won’t say who, keeps buying more food that needs to go in the freezer.
So dinner is finished, and since it’s now nearly 8pm, it looks as though Regina might not appear this weekend. ( is there a smiley for clapping hands?).
We’re watching something on the pyramids. Trying to listen without looking, because I get claustrophobic when then start crawling though narrow spaces.
Sun is shining, forecast was rain but I think we had it in the night. Hope it stays fine, lots to do in the garden.
Do you wait until your freezer is empty before defrosting it, Pat? I pull out the drawer and cover them in ice packs and towels and put the contents of the shelves into cool bags with ice packs. Then I fill the freezer with pans of hot water.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks BusyL. It might come to that yet. It’s the chest type one that lives out on the back covered veranda. The Skinks like to snuggle under it when the weather cools off.
Just remembered ... Lola is going in for her Service and MOT tomorrow ... we'll have to take out the myriad books, umbrellas, blankets, walking boots, coats, CDs etc and make sure the service history book is accessible ... that's another job for today ... and as I've got to get the Lola to the garage and come home which is two bus journeys and then get back there to fetch her when they've finished with her I'd probably better not risk bu$$ering up my knee again by going for a walk today so soon after it being so painful on Wednesday and Thursday.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Good day everyone. Sunny and dry here with cloudy bits. Another sparrow in the wood burner which I have safely released but Rasta is on fire bird watch and will mither all day now.
Hope you get a good hill FG. Why would they send drivers out without satnav Hosta?

Satnav's not always reliable in Devon and Cornwall Obelixx ... I've had it try to take me up steps (or was it down ) and along tracks so narrow that my wingmirrors hit the hedgebanks on both sides, so probably a bit too narrow for Hosta's van. Also some places are so spread apart that addresses a mile from each other can have the same one!

Some villages all have the same postcode, some areas have no signal at all so you just get the " navigate off road" message!!!!
I delivered to a customer last weekend who I've not been to in 3 years. Neither sat nav, nor GPS system got me there, but sat nav got me close enough to remember where she was. Nobody could have found it otherwise ( dirt track to a farm over the hill, so you can't even see a house from the road)
Some folk actually put up signs saying " Ignore Sat Nav systems, this is NOT a road )

Hello again everyone.
Have cleared up yet another frozen left over from the freezer which I’ve been trying to clear our so that I can defrost it. Someone, won’t say who, keeps buying more food that needs to go in the freezer.
So dinner is finished, and since it’s now nearly 8pm, it looks as though Regina might not appear this weekend. ( is there a smiley for clapping hands?).

Morning all.
Sun is shining, forecast was rain but I think we had it in the night. Hope it stays fine, lots to do in the garden.

It's cold, windy and raining on and off here so no walk today would be no loss. However, the dogs will insist.
I'm cooking 'mincemeat' (as in mince pies, so no meat) at the moment, having made it yesterday. The house smells like Christmas

Dove, I think clearing out the car will be sufficient
I'm very fortunate that me car gets collected and returned for a service/MOT....cleaned inside and out too.

Yup Dove, you've hit the nail on the head there.

All part of the fun.
