One of those Luxembourgish mornings here, dreezly and very grey. For 10 days according to the méteo. So no gardening for me either, so maybe look at what to buy OH for Christmas. Here we go I said the word. Take care all of you, always.
Cool and rainy here also, neighbour came round early with some erigeron karvinskianus which I had already told her I didn't want until the spring, never mind have found a place for it over winter. She always comes round early when I'm still in my dressing gown, she must think I'm a right slob! Picked some more chillies and peppers, I think that will be the end now as temperatures are set to fall this week.
Morning all. Had a very productive few days in the garden, planted most of this year’s bulbs, cleared and tidied all the veg beds and planted up my winter pots (pale yellow and white primulas, which the deer don’t eat). Was feeling very smug and pleased with my progress, bent down to pull out one last groundsel, and did something to my back. Couldn’t move yesterday afternoon, and am flat on my back this morning. Very annoying and pretty uncomfortable. Luckily Mr C is much more mobile now - one crutch only. He has let me share his trusty litter picker 😂
Have been reading back - many hugs for those embarking on new chapters. So difficult for you now, but really hope good times will come along for you soon - in whatever shape or form 😘
Good morning to everyone!! Dismal day here although the sun is trying to come out between clouds. Had a shower during the night, but nothing that was forecast. So everything is just damp. Swiss ball lesson this morning - joints were creaking today!! Yes @floralies the temperature is due to drop this week.
Decided to tidy out the cupboard with all the CDs in it this afternoon. Lots of doubled up CDs and needs sorting out. Will put relevant info/photos on a USB stick. Time consuming!
Enjoy your day and enjoy your walk along the beach @Dovefromabove Wrap up!! Tui
That's rotten luck @chicky - but at least your back waited until the end of all your hard work. I'm the same as you @raisingirl, not equating religion with the sacrifices our parents' and grandparents' generations made. I normally have to attend the Remembrance Sunday parade and service though, as I normally lay the wreath for the bus. assoc. I chair. But this year we weren't asked if we wanted a wreath and were not given any information at all about the parade. So I didn't go. And relieved not to go, in actual fact. The local RBL has some members who are downright racist now and I can't be doing with all the sanctimony they display. The last vicar we had was great - I remember a diatribe he gave against Donald Trump from the pulpit at a Remembrance service a few years ago (without actually naming him) but he has moved on now and the present incumbent is a young 'happy clappy' sort of person. We get the local parish magazine but it is much more about church and less about community now so I hardly ever read it. Lovely and sunny here - about to take the car for a drive (for it's battery's sake - don't really want to) then end up in town to look at curtain sample books. (I blame @Busy-Lizzie for that - she's got me in the mood for new curtains!). Hope you are having a lovely time on the N.Norfolk coast @Dovefromabove!
I have been trying to buy a specific wine from Waitrose for a present but after two attempts it seems the wine I wanted is no longer available. Another wine was sent instead, twice, and taken back. Waitrose have refunded the cost but have actually given us the full price back rather than the discounted price I had paid using offers and promotions on both occasions. On both occasions the refund was paid before the original payment had been taken too. So far we are about £100 ahead but I have emailed them to see how we correct this.

my energy seems to be improving, so I’ve got fingers crossed that it’ll keep going.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Change of plan, no gardening today, it has been tipping with rain. We went out to get some boring stuff such as loo rolls and dishwasher tablets.
Just about to watch the results of Strictly.
