The weather's a bit nondescript here. Can't decide whether to bake myself a birthday cake, given OH is going to be home alone tomorrow while I'm at work, so the chances of any of the cake being left by my birthday later in the week are fairly slim

Happy birthday Dove! Thought I'd better wish you happy birthday on here as well as singing at you!
Hello Hazel, how are you? Lovely to see you! Your right the gardening is a bit intensive now I'm getting closer to 27! it makes me sound like a sissy but its very physical, not just a bit of light pruning unfortunately!
Obelixx how's the sewing going? I thought of you yesterday as my friend turned up with a gift of two meters of beautiful sage patterned silk for me and I'm at a loss as to know what to do with it! I'll have to try and take a picture and show you. Glad Cosmos' paw is on the mend!
Raisingirl make the cake and hide it in the fruit and veg draw! it will never be found in there!
Hello Joyce, we had mild weather and sun this morning and I sat out in the garden for an hour in the famous purple dressing gown! But as its Doves birthday I sent her our sun so she could have a day trip to the seaside! we have your gloomy weather here now so I'm in good company!
Hello Lilyp, thank you I'm joining you in the kitchen today making fish pies for poorly mother in law, with the weather we all seem to have, think we are in the right place!
Hosta, think they should redo that series 'grumpy old...'.but have it with 27 year old gardeners! I'd join you with similar rants!
Fidget thanks, bucket list way of life is a good plan, make the most of the ride whilst we are on it!
Hello Pat feel free to send sun this way if your getting fed up with it!
Back to cooking, have a lovely day and keep warm all, except you Pat
Its an unofficial gardeners uniform these purple dressing gowns I think Joyce!
I've been doing lots of different versions of my CV for lots of kinds of jobs and I'll be doing a drop round all the local plant based places, its a good plan!

Wonky...it's a purple dressing gown day here but I did get dressed before lunch time.
Are there any good garden centres near you who would value your knowledge?
