Good morning early bird Biglad and all later arrivals. How good it must have felt to be able to get all those garden jobs done. Hope you stay warm in your r-a-a-f stint.
Ante, I hope its welcome news at the Vet this morning for Max.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Saturday. Its Grand National Day today. I remember the two times I won the staff room sweepstake years back; once when I picked Red Rum and another when I drew Aldaniti out of the hat. Those times were the nearest I ever came to betting! I stopped watching the race shortly after my last win as I worried too much about the horses though I believe they have tweaked some of the huge fences now so they are less challenging.

Good morning all. Sunny here but cold, we have a problem with the heating someone is supposed to come today to sort it out. Annoying!
Hoping for a day in the garden I want to sort out the front but not impressed with the drive cleaners as the sanding isn’t good, lots of gaps where weeds will return we may have to do it ourselves again which is also annoying. I want to replace my pots.
Good morning Debs. Another person with boiler troubles. At this time of year its the last thing you wish to be worried about. Hope it gets sorted soon. I remember the devastation that was Jack's garden after the so called specialists cleaned his drive. I think it was Hazel who talked of the dirt being flung up everywhere which was so right in Jack's case. I'm afraid that sand just creates the perfect growing site for weed seeds.

Grey morning, at least it's warm. Forecast is rain whole weekend. After visit to the Vet, I'll try prick out my aubergines seedlings. Now tea and meditation before our trip.

Hello all … commiserations to those with heating, power and water problems. Hope they’re soon sorted.
Excitement today as WonkyWomble is visiting to help with some gardening tasks and spend the day with us. Haven’t seen Wonky since around Christmas so it’ll be especially lovely. 😃 Payment will be in bacon baps … I’ve got some tasty rare breed rashers from the farm butcher up the road.
Have a good weekend all 😊

Good Morning Biglad, LB, Debs, Ante, Rubee & Dove and all to follow, a nice bright nippy start here, Biglad Hope you managed a bit more sleep after the armchair, lots done in your garden yesterday hope you get another chance to later on, LB We used to do the office sweepstakes for the GN I never won though, you had a couple of good horses poor RedRum that brings back memories, Debs Hope you get your heating working again, not something you want to be without and a shame the front isn’t finished off properly either 😤 Ante All the best for Max today, hope it’s more good news on his progress, Rubee Pleased to hear your carpet is fully dry now and no shrinkage 👍 Dove Have a lovely time with Wonky today, those bacon baps sound delicious 😋 Have a good day everyone.
The boiler fault is intermittent which doesn’t help but I am going to insist they do a proper job and I will buy sand for front myself and finish the job properly although I would be grateful for any weed reducing tips?? Types of sand etc?
Debs, kiln dried sand is what was used on mine but it doesn't stop weeds growing. I believe you can get sand that is supposed to stop growth but I have no experience of this and I'm willing to bet it is mega expensive.
