Hi all. Very autumnal here, leaves starting to fall from the Beeches, along with a few branches. Glad your eyes are starting to improve LP. Hoping to get more bulbs planted today.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Good morning. Have had a lovely long sleep but woken up with half a face aching with sinuses. Bizarre. Sunny again today and warmer than yesterday.
Hosta - the queen does cook! Apparently it's a big thing at Balmoral where they cook stuff on the barbie in the big outdoors.
LP - glad your eyes are improving. it's horrid being "interesting".
Greetings to all and have fun whether you're back at the coalface or out to play. Haven't even looked at bulbs in shops yet and won't have time today either.

This one doesn't.
Slowly, slowly , catchy monkey @Lily Pilly @punkdoc , nice to introduce newbies to the joys of gardening. Laundry almost done and hanging on "horses" in the sitting room. Hubby would go mad, but it'll all be dry by the time he gets home on Thursday. Just one load left in the machine. I've discovered the joy of the 15min/ 30C wash. Stuff like the socks I wear in the garden don't have to be brilliant white so in they go. Towels are never "dirty" so they're fine in there too. 5 mini loads done, 1 long wash ( bed linen ) done and another long one ( bed linen ) still going. Not bad considering it's just gone 10. A well earned cuppa and a bit of Hubby's courgette cake then I'm hitting the wood chip, again. Stardom beckons @Fairygirl.
@Lily Pilly glad things are improving ... Wonky may be here later in the week as she has a few days off ... OH and I are popping down for a visit
P'doc it's lovely to share gardening enthusiasms with new gardeners ... I noticed the other day that the leaves from the limes and beeches around here are beginning to fall now Joyce
Hope the sinuses improve Obelixx
Hosta ... love those short wash programmes
Next load is ready to go on the line ..................
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Can you open a can of beans Hosta? Push buttons on a microwave? 15 minute washes just wet things. I like plenty of rinsing too. Only use the 15 minute cycle as a sort of pre-wash if something's really stained or mucky. Happy to let the machine do a long leisurely wash with an extra rinse at the end so I can go off and think about other stuff a bit more interesting.
Pdoc - yes, must be good having a new gardener in the family. Possum is getting there slowly - only managing a window box of herbs at the mo but wasn't horrified or bored by plants and their possible inhabitants this last summer. How's your astronomy coming along?
Pushed today - patchwork and mosaic class to prepare for and Thursday will be patch machine and dancing and in November, if all goes well, Spanish class between. Can I cope?

I can,but I choose not to. I don't know if we own a can opener, and , if we do, where it lives. There's no danger of Hubby coming back to find me an emaciated husk and it'll do me no harm to miss a few meals.
What a ghastly day out there. Safely home and tucked up with good news. Eyes are at last responding to treatment but I shall have to continue with drops all holiday bit of a nuisance but no more than that. Poor consultant said I had had them all in a tizzy as they have never had anyone like me! Just shows we never stop learning! He asked me to describe anaphylaxis as he had never seen it. Embarrassingly I found it difficult, it’s not something to relay easily. So, off to pack the sun hat and look forward to some wonderful experiences. Hosta how on earth do you always have so much laundry!🤔 Joyce it seems to have settled a bit, but all the gantries have warnings so do take care Away to read back, at least as much as I can hope everyone is warm and dry wherever they are

I've no idea, I constantly ask myself the same question. I have my work uniform, as does Hubby from the shop, He's got workwear from decorating and I've got gardening clothes. At least 14 pairs of socks between us in a week, then there's " slobbin' about" stuff for nighttime and bedlinen and towels,( kitchen and 2 bathrooms) but we do seem to pile it up between us.
I've been down in the wood and I think I need to get the chainsaw out before all the leaves are down. I've found a batch of red/scarlet oak but they're surrounded by rubbishy ash and alder so they need a bit of space and there's some broken branches due to storm damage which need seeing to . Oh, I found yet another 3 apple trees. Why didn't they just put them all together in the first place????
