Enjoying some nice weather lately for the time of year, brings customers out too. Sadly, also means not time for gardening or bulb planting, I just don't know where the time goes...
Glad to hear booster rollout seems to be going well, really hoping we don't have to go through any lockdown restrictions again this year, I am trying not to get too stressed about it and just focusing on planning ahead.
Really enjoyed watching Owain doing his drumming, they did a lovely article on the news this morning, such a lovely man.
Right, baking to get done, Red Velvet Cake today, new one for me, following a recipe from the BBC food magazine. Going to freeze the cake and then only have to ice it later.
Have a good day all.

What a mild November we are having down here! We'll pay for it in MarchI reckon. We've had cool overcast mornings with some sun breakthroughs in the afternoon. I open the doors of the conservatory leading into the lounge and it heats it up well. Fire on around 4 or 5ish. Still haven't put the boiler on. We did have a cold spring. Maybe the seasons are moving forward a month. Anyway, here is a saying for November and one for today: Brouillard en novembre, l'hiver sera tendre. Saint-Léopold voit Les premières neiges du mois. No snow here, but it has been snowing further up the line. Snow contains azote so is welcomed by the agricultural and horticultural crowd.
A pleasant and busy day to you all. I'm on me bike!!
Going to make a pair of curtains for Llittlest Chicklet today. The ones in her rented place are pretty foul. Chosen plain cream linen and she can then take them with her when she goes.
Morning everyone, another grey dull start here. Didn't get the bulb planting finished yesterday as I had forgotten we were going to SD for lunch. Trouble is it tends to be late so it takes out the entire afternoon and early evening. We usually collect her Mil and take her home as she lives near us though its a couple of miles in the wrong direction. Saves SIL a drive though.
Morning all, thick low cloud here for a few days and chilly with it. I believe they have had plenty of snow on the mountains, will get a picture when the clouds lift and I can actually see them. Had rather a stressful episode yesterday, I decided my hair was desperate for a cut, I didn't want to go to the hairdressers as I need my covid booster so enlisted OH's help! Why oh why don't they listen to instructions, I'm sure he thought he was cutting a hedge Oh well I suppose it hasn't turned out too badly....It will grow, won't it?? Good job it's winter and i can wear a hat!
Floralies, OH has been cutting my hair since lockdown started, and he has improved with practice! Now that he has done the bulk of it, get him to check every few days, and just take off any stray clumps that he missed the first time round. OH has to use my big dressmaking style scissors ( not my actual ones, I keep those safe) because he couldn’t fit his fingers into my proper hairdressing scissors. It has saved me a lot of money though, so we’ll carry on with this arrangement until I decide I fancy an updated style!
@Ergates he did use hairdressing scissors but couldn't follow my instructions, rather like in the garden! I don't think it looks too bad apart from one bit that needs a bit of attention. I haven't been inside a hairdressers either since the beginning of lockdown.
I've not been to the hairdressers since the end of Jan '20 either ... OH has been doing it for me ... I wear it really quite short (think Annie Lennox/Judi Dench) and he does most of it with one of those metal comb-razor blade thingummies ... due for another one very soon. I've been cutting his hair for years ... I've saved him a fortune
