Lots of trees down this morning when I was out driving. As I left at 4, one of the drivers was on the phone asking for alternative directions to a customer's house due to a fallen tree.
Very productive weekend weeding. Very nearly finished one of the borders, and the second is normally easier - more collecting leaves and less weeds. It was windy in squally gusts, with a bit of hail thrown in, but I had my trusty gardening cap on so I just carried on regardless. So lovely rediscovering all my lovely plants, that are all bursting into life. Even had 2 agastache survive the winter, which is a first for me. Achey but happy now.
Hope everone here has survived the gales with no damage.
its still light out the window and its 6pm ....yay !!!
Evening all, morning Pat, Hello Pdoc, I hope Moira is well on the mend now and you are keeping busy in the garden I'm sure! Lovely day, met a new potential customer, did more housework and baking, and managed to have an afternoon nap! All whilst feeling happy and not dreading going to a job I hate for fifty hours which exhausts me! Nice to be back to my Wonky self again! 😁 Time for a cuppa and a read back
Hope daughter and new babe are doing well, BL Very amusing pic Obelixx The blackcurrant wall looks very nice. Rest of room will be lilac, but more blackcurrant on the window wall. All the woodwork done, but had some caulking etc to sort, and it's awkward when you have to keep moving furniture around. All good though. Couldn't have done anything outdoors anyway with the weather the way it's been here. We've had everything today, and often all at once. Chilly now, 1 degree. I heard on the news that there were trees down in Devon Hosta. Glad you got some gardening done chicky, even if the weather was a bit iffy Nice to be more human again , eh Wonks?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good evening - just browsing before bed. Had a standard Sunday - roast dinner at in-law’s followed by vegging-out. I’m off tomorrow (I had forgotten that until earlier today!) so might help Dad paint his shed as he had a new roof on it last week (after a storm damage) so thought we would give it a spruce.
Well, we sleep naked tho I have been known to wear socks if it is seriously cold or I am ill but that hasn't applied, as far as I can recall, in more than 25 years. Might be a good trick for Hosta to try tho if he's still having trouble sleeping..

A bright and breezy start to the day here in East Anglia... not frosty but apparently with the wind chill factor it feels more like -3C ... not that I would know ... I’m still tucked up in bed with my purple dressing gown on and smiling meaningfully at the sleeping person who makes the morning cuppas 😴 The alarm will go off soon ...

Question: socks on or off in bed?

Night all.
I wear socks when it's -10° outside. I wear a nightie and throw it off at 4am when I wake up for the loo.
We have had to put fencing netting on my new no dig beds. Cat thinks I made her 3 new loos.
