    Morning all
    good decision not to post wellies Obelixx, there are some things they just have to learn
    since we moved her 13 years ago, I have never thrown out a pair, every visitor usually finds something that fits but they have to leave them behind 
    Hosta totally understand how you feel, happened to us so often we bought one on Ebay
    want to borrow it?
    Pat that is a bit early to warm up isn’t it?

    btw I have lost my Edit button, anyone know what I do to get it back?

    I've just called the hire company to come collect it. I did well yesterday but I reckon I'll just make a right almighty mess if I try to use it to-day.

  • Morning all ...  btw I have lost my Edit button, anyone know what I do to get it back?
    Morning @Lily Pilly    :)   The word Edit at the bottom of our posts was a glitch which has been sorted.  The proper Edit button is the 'cog wheel' at the top right of your post ... some gardening-type folk think it looks like a daisy  ;)

    Didn't realise you had clay Hosta.  Good decision then.

    I'm supposed to be sanding a wall or 3 but clever OH went and sorted out teh tomato plants yesterday so I've spent my morning so far cutting up 15 litres of red tomatoes for passata, 10 litres of yellow ones ditto and two more oven trays of small tomatoes have gone in to dry.

    No time to get dusty and then clean again before fetching Ratsa so a quick bit of sewing and then I can get mucky in peace afterwards.

    LP - we too have a welly collection tho it's reducing as one pair after another finally disintegrates.  Only get used for winter gardening now anyway.   Walking boots or trainer style for doggy exercise these days and no longer any need to have 3 sizes for me.  In Belgium I had a pair to wear in summer with no socks, a pair for autumn and spring that fit one ski sock and another pair for winter that fit 2 ski socks.  OH just has his steel capped toe wellies now.

    LilyP, yes it seems a bit sudden to have a lovely spring day after our previous freezing days. I hope it doesn’t mean we will get a really hot summer again. 
    By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you, have you noticed much difference in your vision? When I had my cataracts removed, I noticed that colours were much clearer. There had been a sort of grey/green haze before the procedure.

    I should think that haze is almost constant in Scotland Pat, what with all the clouds and rain.............

    I think you’re missing Possom, or maybe, it’s Rastus.
    what project are you working on with your patchwork now?

    I know.  I'm just naughty really.  As for patchwork, yesterday I finished off a bread basket thingy for sale and then carried on with a fabric bird box - too twee for words - which will also go for sale and then I'm starting on a moon and night sky quilt for Possum.  Something based on this that I found on the internet but double bed sized, not a wall hanging.


    When I fancy something smaller I want to make some place mats and maybe a Christmas table runner.

    Very very nice Obelixx. I had a friend several years ago who was a lovely quilter. She made me a miniature quilt which I framed. When I find where I’ve carefully hidden it, I’ll photograph it and put it on for you to see. Sadly, she passed away several years ago. (Cancer). My son is still in contact with her son and I offered it back to him, but he’s got lots of her things left, so didn’t need it.
