A sprinkling of snow this morning. And brrr. Heating has gone on as I have someone coming round for a meeting this morning and whilst we are happy to wear big jumpers until the evening it might be a bit too spartan for a visitor.
What I don't understand is: if the energy companies are making such big profits, why are the prices going up?
Cant' hang about - things to prepare for the meeting! Will check in again later - have a good day all.
You stay where you are @punkdoc ... you can keep the Forkers' communal sofa company for me while I dash to the farm shop and butcher ... I could pick up some very good Binham Blue cheese if you're interested?

I don't know that one @Dovefromabove, but I love most blue cheese, so I am sure it will be good, and from what I know of you, you have impeccable taste.

It was +1° this morning, sunny, no frost. Forecast had been for snow.
I took my car to the garage to be serviced and to have it's winter tyres changed for summer ones. It was warm when I made the appointment! There was ice on the window of the car they lent me so colder there than here, 5 mins drive away. They asked me to put a little petrol in the car in exchange. There was a queue at the petrol station because from today the French government have lowered the price of petrol by 18 centimes. At least I don't need cooking oil and flour at the moment.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
we had a light snow cover yesterday morning but just a grass frost today. Walked into the village first thing to get some bits from the butcher for the weekend. Need to settle to work now but I'm displacing - it's been a tough week at work and I'm a bit done in - just need to sit and stare into space for a while
The new greenhouse is being delivered on Monday, so OH is out finishing off part of the roof on his new shed so we have somewhere dry to store it while we're getting the base ready. It'll probably take us months to get it built but exciting anyway.
More tea, I think...

Morning all and Happy April! @didyw Sorry I missed your birthday, hope you had an enjoyable day and that the wheelbarrow shopping was successful. @Hostafan1 hope your little grandson recovers very quickly from the covid, bless him. Also my best wishes to your Hubby, I hope that he is being kept as comfortable as possible. The weather here is again absolutely freezing, yesterday was sun and snow flurries all day, this morning a nasty heavy frost and an equally nasty cold wind. Hope all the newly emerging plants and those early ones already flowering can cope with this sudden onset of cold weather after the glorious week that we have had. Take care everyone, stay safe and keep warm.
Hello all, the wind is biting with snow flurries, I have bought my plug plants indoors from my unheated GH while this cold snap lasts. Even with fleece over them they were beginning to look a bit unhappy! Stay warm everyone.
Good morning everyone ... A long term lurker here, but have been gently encouraged by the OP of this thread that I really need to get stuck in. I am at the tail end of a horrid bout of Covid and should be able to come out of isolation today, but still have extreme fatigue - not sure if it is that or the lingering catarrh that is making me a bit disorientated/dizzy. I spent most of yesterday noodling on here ... I could so easily become addicted. I really chuckled at the thread about rats yesterday .. I am that neighbour who had some decking that was deemed the reason why my NDN kept getting rats in her garden - nothing to do with the bread they throw down every night then !. I have now replaced my small area of wooden decking with a new composite one and got my builder to make sure there was no way a rat could get under it.
No-one knows if you have done your house-work, but everyone knows is you haven't done your gardening

Well, I am not going out in that, freezing and blizzards.
