Afternoon folks, It's a bit chilly here this morning. I've been out and removed the fleece from the raised bed and filled my indoor watering can from the rain barrel. Planning to sow some bean seeds and plant out the foxgloves and heucheras I bought yesterday if it warms up a bit.
Glad the cooker is working @Hostafan1 we suspect our next big purchase will be a new boiler as it's getting on a bit now and we have had a few hiccups with it.
You're right @Chicky it does feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel, especially with the clocks going forward. Light nights will make all the difference.
Afternoon forkers. Waiting for the rain to pass so I can do some Sunday pottering.
I, maybe unwisely, grabbed myself an extra hour in bed to compensate for the lost hour. Tomorrow morning will be the test, although I always struggle on a Monday morning (who I am kidding? It’s every morning!) so I might not notice.
I find it's far more effective to go to bed early the night we put the clocks forward ... then I get the right amount of sleep and I don't notice the change.

Unfortunately, I don't go to sleep on command but when I'm tired and even then it depends or not having a snoring OH or a purring pusscat or a throbbing stoopid knee....

I take after Pa ... I go to sleep when I'm horizontal ....... I even went to sleep laying on a concrete floor in a sculpture studio with straws up my nose having a plastercast made of my face ........ I've been known to fall asleep during electrolysis .... it was said that members of Pa's family could all fall to sleep on a linen line ... apparently I was a very easy baby

A coincidence, following my chat with @Busy-Lizzie about East Runton ... this Local Hero figures in my childhood memories ... he was quite a character https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/tributes-paid-to-donald-donny-abbs-cromer-7855886 My granny’s caravan was on his family’s field and if she ever needed an odd job done or something fetched or carried Mr Abbs would do it. 😊

Thank you for that, about East Runton, @Dovefromabove. I've sent it to myself on an email.
This is what I've been doing recently, not finished yet. I've had to dig thoroughly because of all the horrid weed roots, like bindweed and a creeping sow thistle thingy.
