Hello everyone. Grey sunrise here but the sun is trying to burn thru the murk now and is noticeably higher in the sky than just a week or so ago. Barely getting above freezing today but should be warmer tomorrow.
Hope so and hope it stays as the tomato seeds I ordered on Thursday arrived in this morning's post. Impressive stuff. Keen toget sowing soon then.
@chicky rather you than me for zumba tho I can see the appeal. Prefer a good line dance myself - cha-cha choreographies are a really good work out and so are some of the C&W routines! The Vendée Globe sailors have been rolling in since the end of January tho 1st place went to the second home because he was awarded hours for going to help another in trouble. There are two women sailors coming back in tandem as one boat has problems. There's a lot of camaraderie out there and an unbelievable amount of damage done by crashes with UFOs - unidentified floating objects - such as containers which have fallen off ships and mosy along like icebergs.
Covid dictates no great celebrations or award ceremony but it's a worthy achievement for them all and many are sponsored to raise money for charities. Worth checking on FB if you can and clicking on pages to add dosh to their funds. https://www.facebook.com/VendeeGlobe and https://www.facebook.com/samdavies.sailing British woman raising money for a cardiac charity so every share counts.

Just enjoying watching the 1975 Arsenal v Spurs match ... proper football on a muddy pitch with muddy players whose names I recognise ... even if the ‘wrong’ team won, eh @punkdoc ?

Were they wearing proper short "shorts"?
Of course ... knees and thighs covered with mud. 😉

Sorry @Busy-Lizzie. Forgot to say it must be hard for you but surely nice to have him there so you can be together for a while. If he does manage to get back before his allotted visiting period ends will he have to do the isolation in a hotel or can he go straight to his cottage?

Got a letter this morning inviting me to book a vaccination slot - the day after I had my jab. Slightly tender arm this morning but no other side effects thankfully.
I've had another hack at the bush I've decided to remove. Turns out it's three of the same plant - Daddy, Mummy and baby. Anyway, I've slaughtered mother and child this morning
Decided to stop when the garden waste bin reached 'FULL' and my hands had ceased feeling like part of my anatomy. Daddy and digging out the stumps/roots will have to wait for at least 3 weeks, when it should be warmer and the bin gets collected for the first time.
Strangely, I felt a pang of guilt Well until I remembered that it's the plant that tries to poke me in the eyes every time I try to duck past/round/under/through to get to the compost dalek. Had to go as it doesn't offer enough and will provide a good space to try a couple of more interesting/productive/colourful alternatives.
Afternoon all. Absolutely freezing here, -2.4 at 8.30 am this morning and now just above freezing so I've not been out at all although OH braved the cold to get the morning paper. It's windy as well so we have cold air blowing through the extractor fan in the kitchen - brrrrr. So fed up with our email problems we've instigated a claim via the Ombudsman. I'm not holding out much hope that they will be any more efficient but we'll wait and see. Are there no planes at all to and from France @Busy-Lizzie? We've booked some short breaks too @Punkdoc with free cancellation if it doesn't happen.
