Morning all, P'doc I'm with you, have changed my medication, tried to do without it but it wasn't succesful so now I'm on half my usual dose. Woke up feeling very down and miserable but forced myself into the garden and I'm feeling much better now. Hubby has mowed the lawns for me (I'll edge them later on). I've been emptying pots and planting a few treasures that had been lurking in the garden. Shouldn't have been lugging said pots and I don't think my back is going to be much use tomorrow but I can't stand waiting for someone else to do it and I hate the thought that I'm not up to it. I'm strill trying to find a place for my new rose Little White Pet that was bought just because I like it and not because I had a lovely spot for it. To make matters worse I've just ordered 2 new clematis and I have no idea where I'm putting those either. Perle dAzur and Tiaga are winging their way to me as we speak. I'd like to grow Perle dAzure through my New Dawn rose but that would mean disturbing another clematis whose name escapes me at the moment, keep thinking of Nora Barlow but that's an Aquilegia I think. Oh I've remembered, it's Betty Corning. Nice to hear from you Wonky, take it easy after a heavy work week and chill. Hope everyone else is OK and enjoy your Sunday.
Don't disturb Betty Corning, Yvie, I love her she smells wonderful. There's a wonderful Perle d'Azur on a north wall at Sissinghurst, mine isn't doing nearly as well but it's in a pot by a north wall.
Thanks for asking, Wonky, OH's eye is now fine, mine has turned into a stye, but it's been over a month now. Have antibiotic gel from the Doc.
OH is bustling about busily outside. I'm starting to feel guilty, looks so cold and gloomy out there but the long border needs a lot of work so I better make a move soon. Rain is forecast for the next 2 weeks.

Hi no a busy day today as I went with daughter to look for a wedding outfit for grandaughter wedding in 5 months time.Its a winter wedding here so not sure what to get,my only trouble is i keep losing weight and since xmas i have lost 9kgs but my tests 2wks ago could not see a problem so i will wait a bit longer in case i put the weight back on. Chicky i smiled when you mention washing, we are 5 adults here and i call it chinese laundry as it seems never ending. Hope Pdoc will soon be better but take care of yourself.
Have now moved lots of my seedlings into the greenhouse and cold frame and edged lawns. It's looking a lot tidier now, more than I can say for myself. Have stopped working now and relaxing with a bit of TV. Hope I can move tomorrow, never learn do we.
What a gloriously sunny , Spring day. All customers were happy I'm glad to say. I glanced at Tuesday's rota to find they've rota'd me from 8am which wasn't supposed to start until the following week. I'll call and check tomorrow just to be sure.
Hello All, had a lovely sunny day here but forgot the clocks went forward so an hour behind doing everything and I'm most confused! Tried to cobble together a wooden frame for my strawberry planter but although I love woodwork I'm not very good at it and the corners are rubbish. I've given it up and shoved it in the shed overnight and will have another go tomorrow.

Sorry you aren't feeling well, punkdoc.
