Hi Archie, it's playing at raining & some stuff does need some. What we don't need is wind. Did you finally get your drains done? If you've already said, soz, missed it. Soon be curry night just got to get over the pasta night ( tonight) not my fav', but OH loves it.
I already thought of that, punkdoc. OH is away and I didn't have a phone in my pocket. I did think as I lay flat on my back, that if I knocked myself out, I would be missed sometime on Saturday. I didn't get knocked out and there is no bump coming up. Just the plastic bucket damaged I think. Still I'm being good and sticking to coffee. Dangerous things , wheelbarrows. It doesn't help that the garden is terraced and there are two sets of steps to bump down. At least I'm not trying to barrow it uphill. The muck pile is by the back gates. Very useful for Mr Farmer to drop it and leave it for when I'm ready.
The other casualty, the hellebore stem is looking droopy. I think I will take off the flowers and float them in water.
Evening all. Cold here too May have to put the heating on as well. No rain here yet, and we could do with some too! Have had to water my pots! Got to keep the display going
ITV weatherman says its going to feel like Autumn. Did I miss Summer?
I'm not allowed to go up ladders when I'm on my own. Mind you, the new 15ft tripod ladder needs two of us to move it. and I daren't go near the chainsaw.
Hello folks I'm back Hope everyone's loved ones are improving, and that Fidget's head bone is ok - hope she didn't land on anything else important, like her tailbone!!! ((hugs))
I have a gammy knee that occasionally just drops me on the ground - hospital couldn't find anything wrong with it, but there obviously is!!! Anyway, one day just after we'd moved here and I was carrying armfuls of ivy to the skip in the front garden, OH was at work and the builders had just driven away, when my knee dropped me to the ground along the side path - when I'd got my breath back I had to crawl backwards on my hands and knees until I could pull myself up using some garden furniture and hop indoors and lie on the sofa until OH came home a little while later - whopping bruises etc but I'd not hit my head thank goodness. I promised myself I'd always have my mobile in my pocket when I was on my own in the garden after that, but do I? .................
Today was interesting if a bit hectic - we were in the Uxbridge area, then back to Suffolk via Pinner and then Constable Country - the weather was lovely and the blackthorn blossom on the hedgerows made the countryside a picture - no detours via GCs today
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
OH has agreed that I can replace mini polytunnel (6 ft by 4ft) with a Gardman heavy duty polytunnel. (3m x 2m). They are half price at £80 at the garden centre. I have £7.50 worth of vouchers so £72.50. We will fetch it Sat morning as it is 2 man lift and won't fit in my car. The cover has gone on the old one, so I will use the frame as racking in the new one. Funny thing about greenhouses, they are never big enough. Then I can get stuff to harden off out of the greenhouse, rearrange the nursery area,

fidget - what are you like?
Take care this evening and keep the phone by your side.
It's a timely reminder that we're all vulnerable if we're on our own and working outdoors - especially if the ground's slippy.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We would miss you Fidget

Hello everyone
I'm back and I officially hate the M62, especially when wet and windy and full of lorries 
Hope you're OK Fidget, take it easy and I'll have a glass of wine for you tonight seen as you can't
Stacey, may have missed it in all the posts but how is your shoulder?
KEF, glad mum is ok
I think that's all but sorry if I've missed anyone, brain not fully functional after a long day (nothing new there then!!)
