Good morning Forkers and hello Michael and Epsilonsage. Lots of greenhouse chat on other threads and yes, we have a regular Ozzie @Pat E.
It is cool, grey and wet here so I shall probably go and do some painting after lunch. Too late to start on a whole coat now as the cutting in on the last wall will take ages. That sounds like a mammoth sort and clean you did @Liriodendron. Clear conscience for gardening then.
Glad you enjoyed your birthday @WonkyWomble.  Yes @Fairygirl, Stanley Baxter indeed. Why no mention of toe rags? Not that I was paying attention cos she was on, sotto voce, while Possum asked me about cleaning ovens.Â
@Chicky - well done with the fencing.  You should have asked to borrow OH's fence post hole digging dooberry.  @Punkdoc - love the cartoon. How's you mum? Have you written to her? @AuntyRach - go easy with those sore muscles. Maybe sow some seeds instead?
@Dovefromabove - hot cross bun question. No strong white flour here but I do have pasta/pizza flour 00. Would that be OK maybe half and half with wholemeal? I have fresh yeast!!
Have a good day all, whatever the weather and whatever you're doing be it work, play or displacement activity to get you through.
Hello Ckicky. I live in Adelaide South Australia. We used to be famous for having a "Mediterranean" climate", but there's little rain now in winter and days on end over 40 degrees in summer. Even Australian plants burn after 3 days over 45 degrees. Luckily I've always been eco-conscious, and try to apply a mix of commonsense, experience and knowledge to keep growing going!
Welcome @epsilonsage . @Pat E will hopefully be able to compare some notes with you I like a doobery @chicky Couldn't eat a whole one... I just use my trusty digging/border spade for all my post holes. It's seen me through many a difficult job @Obelixx- I think it would have been difficult for Madge to be too vocal about all the a***holes. Perhaps she got it off her chest to Phil later. I can only imagine... I think I have a little 'matched pair' of blackies. One male visiting the ground feeder regularly, and one female. She's seen off all the pretenders to the crown, the little minx.Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@Obelixx ... not sure about the '00' flour for HCBs ... my understanding is that '00' gives a crisper crust so not necessarily what you want ... think I'd go half and half wholemeal and plain white ... I've done that before and it was ok. Â
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@epsilonsage our oldest daughter spent a year studying in Adelaide in 2018.....she loved it. Â We visited a couple of times and loved it too. Â Henley beach is one of my âhappy placesâ in the world .....still have it as my screen saver on my laptop .....
