You are all very right!!! Quite an effective wake up routine to be sure! Just glad I had changed out of purple dressing gown!!! Good everyone had a good giggle anyway! Now the heating is on and Harrie is much happier!
@chicky your gardening lectures sound like a fantastic way of keeping people connected and positive during these isolating times. They are lucky to have you take so much care and interest in what you are doing.
Fingers crossed your wood man comes through @Busy-Lizzie!
Thank you @D0rdogne_Damsel .. I've never had a tooth out before so don't really know what its supposed to feel like as it heals, it was one of the upper wisdom teeth and as these things go was relatively straightforward ( well according to the person extracting it anyway ) so fingers crossed. We'll see how it feels once i gingerly brush it tonight!
Morning all, I hope everyone is ok - halfway through the week! The snow is melting down here in Kent and I don't think that we will get any more, its just bitterly bitterly cold. My perennial plant order has been dispatched from T&M so I'm hoping the ground will be ok for me to get them in when they are delivered. It's the first time I've ever ordered plants online so it's very exciting for me!!
I intend on spending the rest of the afternoon in the study (I'm working from home) listening to Classic FM keeping my frozen toes warm dreaming of spring time and getting out in the garden and then admiring it from the conservatory!!
Well, despite the best of intentions, I'm not in the studio yet 'cos I remembered I wanted to do a big veg order to be delivered ... one of the suppliers who usually delivers to restaurants (and has a great market stall in the city centre) is doing delivered boxes (free delivery over £25)... either their standard various sized mixed fruit & veg boxes, or 'Build your Own Box' which is what we went for ... delivery booked for Friday ... potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, leeks, red cabbage, savoy, sprouts, lettuce, spring onions, apples, bananas, blueberries, lemons, garlic, mushrooms ... that lot'll keep us going for a couple of weeks 😊 and supporting local business rather than the supermarket ... a lot of the veg is locally grown too.
I've also made a leek and potato soup for lunches for the next couple of days, and the bread is out of the oven ... now I won't go into the studio as OH has the big sliding wall open as he's sanding panels to prepare the for painting, so it's a bit draughty in there ... think I'll get on with another woolly hat for a bit ... I'm using up a bit stash of wool to knit woolly hats to send to the rough sleeping project in Norwich ... a bit too late for this cold snap, but they'll be in time for the next one.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Ok I stand corrected, my excuse is I was looking on my phone, and it's a small screen. I still think grey's are vermin though, I wish were more like New Zealand over non indigenous, species that are driving some of our native wildlife to extinction. @WonkyWomble,, that's one reason I brushed the snow off my greenhouse roof. The other is that it has started to leak in all this wet so I figured it would help if I didn't leave it to thaw on it's own.

That must have made you jump, @WonkyWomble.
Very cold here but the sun is out at the moment

Hope you can get your roof fixed @WonkyWomble and keep all those babies safe.
@Busy-Lizzie you can get bags of cut logs in Leclerc and good GCs should you need emergency supplies.
Hope your talk goes well @chicky.
