    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Wet outside but it’s not freezing and the wind has dropped. 😊

    Woke to a magical white world! Unlike the mean and spiteful eastern snow this is the generous westerly variety and has gently covered everything with an inch or two of soft & fluffy white. The ducks have their pond back though. It is already thawing; but will still be no outside gardening as everywhere is sodden.
    I've some potting up to do though, as my Peter Nyssen order arrived  yesterday with 3 more dahlias and some bare-root day lilies, plus some  lovely pots of perennials that are now in the unheated greenhouse learning to toughen up.
    I'm a happy bunny:)

    Morning all.quick dip in. Had the grandaughter to stay for 4 days, this time. 💗 Hosta,it is VERY early days. Hope Doves son is continuing his recovery. It's Grandad Beaches Birthday today,he comes of "age"....no,I'm not married to an 18 year old... although I do sometimes wonder. !!He finally gets his state pension. Nothing planned for today. Maybe lunch in our favourite carvery in Pevensey,on Friday. I made him a rather large beef casserole in the slo cooker overnight, because the meat was on its use by date. So anyone passing is welcome, also made a key lime pie.

    Morning all.

    It's wet and mild, wind has dropped but not totally gone. Boiler man is coming so heating will be off for a short while so I'm glad it's mild.

    OH has an upset tum. Don't know why because I haven't.

    Morning all,  started mild and wet, but now we have wet snow.  
    So it will be a day of sorting out and building flat pack furniture after our expedition to  a certain retailer yesterday.  (See curmudgeon thread for the gory details). 😆

    He must be a day younger than Hubby, who was due to get his yesterday. 
    Can Key lime pie be posted?

    Morning all, temperature is fourteen degrees lower today than yesterday! 
    @Busy-Lizzie I had a bad tum a couple of weeks after leaving hospital. Is OH on blood thinners? it might be that.

    Just heard on the radio I can now put £1.8m into my pension pot, up from £1m.
    I was wondering what to do with that spare £800K
    that's good news to wake up to eh?
