    Morning all.

    Cold, grey and gloomy outside. Dare I go and spray some weeds or will that make it rain?

    @LilyP, my neighbour planted her sweet peas out at the weekend and has fleece ready if frost is forecast.

    Thanks Joyce, I may be brave enough! It’s amazing how the kids respond to the dogs

    My sweet peas have been out for weeks .... I know you're up north but  if they've been hardened off they should be ok shouldn't they?

    I've just been for a run out in the car to fill up with petrol and to test drive the new satnav ... it's nearly the same as the old one and works fine so I can relax about it now. :)

     I'm not going to try updating the maps until after the holiday in case we have the same bother with the site as last time ... today I went to a road where the layout was altered around 6 months ago and that was fine ... then I went to the new road which was only opened a fortnight ago and that's not on the map, so the maps are only about 3 months out of date ... I can cope with that.   

    OH has cut the grass front and back and done the edges  <3

    Now to relax .................

    LP I'd happily read to that friendly looking dog :)

    Well I'm all Karchered out and it was returned all clean and tidy to the library with 15 whole minutes to spare! It did take me more or less all day but I am astounded at the difference. That vibration took some getting used to - ouch. No time to return and rearrange all the pots until Thursday (college tomorrow) but I've put the - now very dirty looking - table and chairs back. 

    Glad the satnav is behaving and you can relax about it now, Dove. 

    Has anyone heard from Dacha? It's been ages. 

    Hope you got lovely goodies from the Wisley shop, Hosta. What a treat :).
