Lovely day here and the horrible cold wind we've had all weekend seems to have dropped a bit thank goodness. Poor diners have been sat out on the terrace with blankets wrapped around them for days. Very busy but the new menu is much easier.
The car is going in to have the work done the animal did to it recently, they're giving me a courtesy car but I'm always reluctant to go too far in one. I am however going to a few garages tomorrow to look for a car/van for CdeG,. With the change in rubbish collections and getting busier my nice little car seems to be constantly full of recycling and/or cash and carry deliveries. A van or at least an estate car will be much more practical, then I can just use my little pride and joy for personal use.
Anyway, must crack on, have a good day all. 🙂

The strata came over yesterday afternoon, so it was perfick for planting out my tomatoes. So they are now tucked up in their beds and today is planned for staking them.
Same today, the sky is cloudy and the temperature is cooler.
Afternoon @Pat E I suppose you meant "snow". Brrr. Glad you have a good stock of wood!! Pixel will enjoy the warmth. Annoying and worrying that your son had some "visitors". Morning! @Dovefromabove and @D0rdogne_Damsel. Chilly here too DD but not cold.
Oooh @D0rdogne_Damsel , a lovely little van with some good signwriting on it to advertise CdeG ...
It's an overcast but mild bank holiday morning here in Norfolk. We’re expecting the locksmith between 9-10 this morning to replace the temporary door handles on the big sliding studio door with the permanent ones … apparently they’ve been in a container sitting on a dockside somewhere in the Netherlands for three weeks courtesy of B****t
When he phoned to say they’d arrived and he could ‘do them Monday’ I said ‘Bank Holiday?’ but it’s all the same to him … ‘I just work when the work is there to do’ … so we're up, scrubbed and presentable and downstairs now ... and I've moved all the seedlings etc from their home close up to the big sliding glass door so that the locksmith has some space to work in.
Not a lot to do today, other than put a load of bedlinen in the wash ... we're going to have a 'picnic' supper this evening ... OH will pick up a French stick from W'rose and I'll make a 'sort of' Coronation chicken with some of yesterday's potroast, and stuff the bread with that and some Little Gems.
Tomorrow I'll start potting all the toms and squashes on ... I think I'm going to give up on the sweetcorn ... not one single seed has germinated ... obviously a bad batch ... never mind, my teeth will be thankful and we'll have more space for the squashes, every single one of which has germinated
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Dreary here. It is our turn to visit the MIL, so that now her house is sold, need to book a hotel for a few days in Deeside, which is not cheap. Need to crack on, there is a lot that needs doing before we go.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Thats good news @Pat E 👍
My coffeemaker is sound asleep … but he’s not at work today so I’ll try not to disturb him for a bit …
