Aha! I’m easily confused @Pat E. Hope the trip tomorrow is ok then. 👍 The news people are telling us that kangaroos are communicating with us when they stare at us ... do you think they get any sense out of us? They just look totally bemused to me ... as if we’re talking nonsense. 🦘
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We have hatched our Christmas eating plans, deciding that in keeping with the times we will do something different. The day will commence with sausage sandwiches, an essential for any great feast. During the day we will consume charcuterie and cheese, we have ordered a selection from our favourite shops. Somehow we will aim to fit in a lemon syllabub trifle [ my favourite ] and a Christmas cake.
During the early days of our relationship, I used to make Moira mix tapes, so during the last few days whilst immobile, I have managed to make digital copies of all of these, so we will not go short of music.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I saw that about the kangaroos @Dovefromabove, had the bedroom TV on. I thought the kangaroo was begging him to open the box. Reminded me of the way dogs look when they want something.
I woke up too early this morning so I got up after coffee in bed and cleaned the bedroom and bathroom extra thoroughly, books and everything on shelves. Another bin bag full. Gosh, I have a lot of gardening books.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all, a horrible grey, wet morning here. Off to the solicitors in a minute to sort out some family issues. Nothing else planned for today. Have a good one folks.
Morning all. Gloomy here too, but I'm hoping for a "window" with light rain instead of heavy, to plant my new Polka raspberries.
@Busy-Lizzie - my dad solved his "too many gardening books" problem by offloading a lot of them on to his daughters... now I'm wondering if my children could accommodate any of my enormous collection... however, this past year I've done a lot of reading, including some very ancient gardening books. Even if some of the attitudes and practices of past times make your hair stand on end (birds as pests, anyone?), the history of plant introductions has increased my knowledge - and my admiration for some of the plant hunters. My vocabulary has also broadened through reading some of the elegant prose written in the Edwardian age. The annoying mower-eating dip in the front lawn is now known as the Declivity...
I'm with you on sausage sandwiches, @punkdoc. Enjoy!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Strong winds and persistent rain this lovely, pitch black morn
Oh well - don't suppose it matters when you're hunched over a laptop all day

Keep cosy and safe all.
