Hello all. Grey outside and, although it's not raining (yet, rain forecast), everything looks wet. Think I'll be in front of the Laptop or the TV quite a bit.
Have had long chats on the phone with OH and daughter 2.
Cleaned the house before I went to Norfolk and the HS has left it clean. No ironing. Not often that I'm at a loose end though I could be doing sorting through and chucking away sort of stuff.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm at a bit of a loose end as well @Busy-Lizzie - which is why I'm on here! I've just been out to refill the bird feeders and it's mizzling, a very good word to describe that kind of wet, not quite drizzling, damp and dark weather so no bulb planting today. Tomorrow sounds better but we're out all day again and next week looks wet again - hey ho.Â
Always good to get sorting done @Busy-Lizzie cos, if and when you do sell those 3 months between compromis and signing the final contract will fly and you'll be chasing your tail.
Mission accomplished re Pawlonia and we've picked up an early Xmas tree too. Turns out the chap is a cousin of the woman giving away the baby pawlonia and cuts and wraps his trees in advance but doesn't usually start selling till next week so they can sit around for ages without a drink. We are now the proud owners of a 2' Nordmann which is in a bucket of water so it can stay plump till we bring it in to decorate.
8 pots of tulips planted up so that's all the bulbs done. Took the rowing boat onto the lake to assess what needs done on the islands which we've not touched in the 8 years we've lived here.
Evening peeps. Drismal is very accurate. Just back from doing a surprise send-off for my colleague on her last day in work. A few of us arrived with balloons, cakes, card and a hamper of goodies (mainly gin to be fair) so I think she was was suitably embarrassed and surprised - which took the edge off the sadness of saying goodbye. Going to settle down with nibbles and Strictly in a bit. Hope you all ok.Â
Good news about NDN @punkdoc lets hope it works out well. I am being cinderella tonight OH has gone with gcs & rest of tribe to a performance of Mary Poppins. We were out last night at Albert Hall so I am quite content to have an evening to myself, but don't tell. Grey miserable day here as well hoping for drier tomorrow so I can get to Allotment.
Hubby was woken at 4am by a sound of lick,lick,  lick. Looked out the window and found mum kangaroo and junior helping themselves to the bird bath. 😂😂😂. No wonder he had to keep filling it.Â
They must be having trouble finding water holes around.Â
The weather bureau is still saying we might get rain late Tuesday and Wednesday. Fingers crossed.Â

@Chicky - you could start on the greenhouse and switch to the spare room if/when it buckets down.
