Been a stunning day here. Planted 200 Tulip bulbs, just need the bare root Wallflowers to arrive, to finish off the pots. Glad you have some time off work @WonkyWomble, how is hubbys Sickle doing?
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Evening all. Glorious day today - pity I had to work. The respite before the next lot of rain and wind comes in. Had my lunch outside in the sun, and pottered for a while before going back to work. Even had my sweatshirt off it was so hot They might as well leave the R and be T till after the weekend with what's forecast. I've been wondering how they're going to remove 'the hill' from the catchy baskets. No easy solution to it all unfortunately Obelixx. It's the nature of the landscape - hills both sides and the one the road cuts through is very steep and drops down in to the cleft of the glen where the old Military road is. They often use the old road [ single track ] for a diversion but it's blocked too. Have a nice few days off Wonks - hope the weather is decent so that the cold doesn't stop you getting things done. doc - I love that arrangement of sofas. Had it in a couple of houses. Particularly nice if you have a fire as a focal point. Enjoy.

Evening all, may take after him in some respects Dove, but take after you with my cooking luckily! 😉 jerk chicken in oven, rice and peas on hob, sausage rolls in the oven, steak and kidney pudding streaming, just sitting down with a coffee after putting brother wobbles entire wardrobe of clothes in my washing machine! Hi Pdoc, thanks for asking, he had his usual change of season attack poor we always expect that, he is taking Feragloben which seems to help too so it's just keep him warm and well fed really 😊 luckily I'm a feeder! 😉
Hello Joyce, hello Fairy, it's been a lovely day in the garden, even filled a hanging basket a friend made from horse shoes, don't normally do hanging baskets but running out of containers as I want to keep bigger ones for fruit and veg next year. mowed the lawn too as I have Dove and her lovely oh visiting tomorrow, it's still a bit scruffy but better than it was! Gonna veg and watch the next episode of mr robot, you might like it Pdoc, made by the same makers as Dexter, really compelling. Anyway, have a lovely evening everyone! 😀
We have had another dribble and now have thunder but without wet stuff. Odd. The only gardening I've done was to go down the potager and pick 2 big marmande tomatoes to slice up for dinner and some dahlias for the table. Had to move a lovely fat bumbly from a picked on to another which was fun.
FG that road situation sounds horrendous. The weekend isn't looking too clever so it may get even worse for your area. Pdoc - well done. That's a lot of tulips!
Wonky - cooking up a feast. Can't remember when I last did a steak and kidney pud. Not since I got OH and that was 1981. No suet here.
Just watching ITT and it's embarrassing. Seann apologising.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Wonks - have you thought of making some containers? Some timber offcuts, and a few battens for corners. Little bit round the top to finish it off. I'm thinking of doing some to disguise plastic pots. Drop in a pot with bulbs, or hellebores, or a grass - no need for a base either as you'd have the pot, and easy to ring the changes with the seasons. Lick of wood stain, varnish or paint to match your colour scheme, and give a coordinated look, and hey presto, Bob's yer uncle! When you look at the price of those fancy varnished ones, it would be worth it. I'm going to get some roofing battens for something else, and they'd be ideal. On a tangent - isn't Hosier's new single fanatstic?

Nice for you to get some time in the garden Wonky.
