Afternoon folks, hope all are feeling a bit better by now post-jab (or general indoor-itis from the continued rain/hail/whatever in some parts ) . Good that the nights will hopefully be warmer going forward ---in spite of my best efforts most of my little flower seedlings have gotten leggier and leggier over the last week indoors and I might have to start again..... At least zinnias grow quickly.
It's been warm and dry as forecast and I now have pink bits after sitting in the sun to pot on tomato, chilli, cabbage and marigold seedlings and plugs. Next week was supposed to be soggy but that forecast has now changed to barely damp tho it won't be warm, only low to mid teens.
Possum cooked chicken breasts in a mustard and cream sauce with black riso di venere rice, peas and broccoli. I made rhubarb and strawberry cobbler and now we're feeling well fed.
My very arthritic left knee is complaining. Maybe I need one of those US government DNA altering vaccines so I can have well behaved knees.

@Obelixx, funny that, I wondered this morning how your knee was behaving. Do I remember you saying you had tried injections into it? I'm thinking of my OH whose ongoing physio doesn't seem to be helping much and he's in so much pain. I have had steroid injections into my shoulder joint - are these the same? Any advice gratefully received. P.S Dinner sounds yummy!
Hello all. It’s Mother’s Day here, so I’m having a lazy lay in.
Obelixx have you been checked by an allergist for MSG sensitivity? If I eat spicy food, my joints scream at me. I know you like that type of food, but I’ve got used to eating differently now and don’t have joint pain anymore. Just saying! 🙄
Morning Folks, was so tired I went to bed at ,9, been awake since , I, gave up,got up, thought I'd get the washing done. Just started raining,great big drops,oh and it stopped. Wasn't forecast, was going to book yesterday for a national trust garden today! Have a great day
Morning @Pat E and @Nanny Beach Interesting point about Obelixx's knee Pat, one wonders.
Hope you get to have your N.T. garden @Nanny Beach
I have had a walk around the garden already and checked all my newly planted out seedlings, they all look to be there and sitting up nicely, what a relief. A few more to go out this morning and then the leftovers are going to the garden at CdeG. My zinnias are going out ready or not @Desi_in_London, I am hoping they survive, they are a bit on the small side but I am going to run out of time if they don't go in today.
Have a good day all, catch up later.

Morning Nanny Beach and DD. I’ve just finished the two pairs of gloves I’ve been knitting, ready to take into town tomorrow. I find the sewing up the worst bit. 🙄 Talk about a marathon.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ @Pat E we've just been listening to a fascinating programme about emu farming in the Warrumbunga region ... and @Obelixx, apparently emu oil has proved a great help for painful arthritic knees.
Looks like a gorgeous day out there ... and it’s going to be warmer too ... will the better temperatures stay? Can we start hardening our plants off?

Trying my hand at tandoori chicken tonight - should be tasty.
I hope everyone is doing ok.
