    Your package may arrive today Dove so get the hazmat suit at the ready!
    I've sown courgette, French beans, mangetout and today it's sungold tomatoes. All doing well in the green house.  Yesterday oh made a start on finding what's in our shed, other than a stray cat!

    Morning all/afties Pat. Nature has a way of making things feel ok doesn't it?  :)
    More steps than I probably did yesterday  ;)
    I can't understand why there wasn't a clamp on house sales right away. Too much close contact involved at the end stage, if not before. 
    I had a weird dream last week where a load of different birds had come in the kitchen - presumably for their grub. I was like Dr Dolittle. Isn't it weird how everything seems perfectly normal in a dream! :D
    More greyness, ,dampness and dreichness here. I think it's to get sharper and a bit brighter by the end of the weekend though.
    Can you send me a little sun from darn sarf pretty please? I'd be ever so grateful....
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Mornig @WonkyWomble
    Empathise re self employed. Hubby is in 12 week lockdown so no income and our flat is empty so no income from that. 
    Seriously thinking of stopping the DD for council tax

    Morning Dove, Wonky and Fairy. Did I forget anyone? Our computer is doing funny things. They said on the evening news that internet might be cut in half to allow people to stay Inside but in contact. 🤬.  I suspect they’ve already started to cut us back.

    Hi Pat, think your right about the Internet. Ours has got worse but I spend my time in the garden mostly any way.  Although the weather is due to get colder after today.  
    Hosta, council tax are normally very quick to prosecute but I know what you mean, I have no idea what I'm going to do other than still work the garden jobs that I don't come into contact with anyone but that's about £90 a week.  The only good news I've had is that mot is extended for six months. Mine was due in two weeks!

    Hubby's car was being picked up for his MOT this morning . Quick call yesterday to cancel it.

    Morning all.

    Success! I woke up at 1.30 for the loo (earlier than usual) so I went to Morrisons site and there were click and collect places available which hadn't been there during the day. OH then came into the study and said he'd already been up and had paid for my order and reserved the 5th April between 2 and 4pm. Maybe that's why I woke up, he disturbed me!

    Weeded the longest border yesterday but there weren't many weeds.
    I wonder how the broad beans, peas and onions are in France and if I'll ever harvest them. There isn't a veg bed here. This is the first year I can remember that I won't be sowing seeds, apart from the broad beans and peas in France.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    That was a lucky saving Hosta! X
    Although our poor mechanic could probably do with the work too but no use if I can't pay him! Although he did my oil and break fluid the other day for the new currency of 2 toilet rolls! I'm not even joking!
