Yes Dove, we were expecting the headache, but it doesn’t make it any easier to put up with. Grrrr. It’s was very cold this morning. Minus 4.4 i think. Max about 12. Lucky I’ve been inside. 🙄
Hi everyone, well that made a change, we were both up early (for us). So I suggested a walk while it was dry and before the hoards come out. We went up the farm but then extended it & did double what we usually do. Got back for coffee and toast, just as a sprinkle of rain came. Result 🙂
Lamb for us too tonight but roast leg - it was on sale at 9€90 whilst the shoulders right next to it were at 14€90.
Cool here again with a high of 15C expected and a stiff breeze. We've had more rain overnight but none expected now before Saturday now.
OH is golfing and I'm about to go and do a bit more mortar in the Cave then maybe some planting of hemerocallis. It'll be pot luck as to colours but they definitely need planting out. The cooks will get any slugs and snails I find lurking in their pots.
Hope @Hostafan1 got things sorted. Sympathies to all with post jab tenderness or aches. @D0rdogne_Damsel you're going to need an embargo on certain topics I think or just be frank and tell it like it is.

Pretty soggy here. Planning to spend a day with my books (exams coming up). And as some light relief I have some pricking out and potting on to be getting on with in the GH.
Feeling pretty glum ...... after all that talk of Covid restrictions easing, looks like we will be going backwards again. Very depressing.

I feel a bit the same, the numbers are rising here according to the Covid tracker app. It's only a little at the moment, but we know that it can change very quickly. Let's hope not.
Oops @floralies, altho I do know a couple of people here who collect their snails for the pot.
I do think it was utter madness to allow travel to and from India - and everywhere else frankly - before everyone is vaccinated and not to have enforced quarantine once it was clear the Indian pandemic had changed up a gear. I don't understand Portugal allowing Brits in next week and fear it will come back and bite them.
I have poured on another layer of mortar in my levelling up process. Wetter this time so easier to play with but it'll take longer to dry. Now to get my wellies on and go and weed and plant. I shall let the chooks out to help me but keep an eye on Scruffy who, at the end of yesterday's planting efforts, decided to hide and nestle under the conifer and needed herding back, muttering all the way.
